I can really appreciate companies building in chest and rib protection like this, I got knocked off my bike by a car last year and got 8 broken ribs, all the other limb protection and helmet did their job just a few grazes and bruises elsewhere
Could the SeeFlex armour be easily swapped out for Knox Microlock level 2 or some D3O level 2 options? I have the SeeFlex CE2 armour in my Rev'it Trench GTX jacket and honestly hate how hard and stiff it is - it's surprising how something so firm/hard can effectively dissipate the forces encountered in a crash.
I tried this on at the RevZilla store in the US and loved! Super comfy and felt like it had all the right protection. Wonder if you think it’s good in hot temps - thought I might get it as summer jacket (if you think it’s well vented).
Would be nice to see these in other colors like white (to better deal with heat). Also, how comfortable is it? Does the inside feel nice against the skin? I have a Knox Urbane mk2 and it a bit scratchy/unrefined inside.
Hi thanks for the great review It's the only review I've seen for this jacket I've never worn a mesh jacket before I sweat more when I feel uncomfortable moving my body in hot weather Is it stretchy compared to 3 seasons of jacats?
Speaking of sizes, if KNOX Urbane Pro (MK1) in size S is a right amount of tight on me (pretty tight but still not restricting movements or giving me any sort of discomfort or fatigue) what can I expect from Revit Nucleus in size S?
This looks really good. Can’t take another season with my Urbane Mk2 as it’s too tight and short on the arms despite sizing up by 2 sizes and lacks stretch. Will be giving this a try over the new expensive Tor which doesn’t include chest and rib protection
No weight given? Either way it looks far more comfortable than the Knox offerings. The Urbane Pro II I find it particularly rough and scratchy inside, is mostly non-stretch and is heavy for what it is. My only reservation about this Rev'it offering would be the zip. The Urbane zip is already unprotected at the neckline and can cause discomfort. This is lower, but also seems to not be backed by any material to improve comfort.
Where I always found the Knox offerings to fit a broad-shouldered athletic body too tight, I find this one runs almost a bit generous. Far more of a streamlined mesh jacket then a true "base layer" cut, since most of the material is a non-stretchy 3d mesh.
@@cblais19 What size you wear? And your height weight and chest measurements? I'm 170cm tall, 65-70kg, nearly 100cm chest. I'm between S and M. What do you think?
@@Canpwr I would try a Small if you can. 42" chest, 180lbs, and a large was quite roomy on me. The arms in particular felt loose, not great for a garment meant to be a close fitting armored shirt.
Can this jacket be worn as a base layer under other revit jackets (similar to the proteus) or is it too big? If so should I buy the same size as my other jackets? Thanks!
That's the Scott waterproof jacket. About €90. Super comfortable, stretchy fabric, lightweight and totally waterproof. I have the jacket and their waterproof trousers and rate them highly. Hope this helps.
The Proteus is basically just an armor carrying base layer with no abrasion resistance, so you MUST layer an abrasion resistant top (jacket or else). The Nucleus is a CE AA certified abrasion resistant garment that also carries your armor, so it can be worn alone in hot days, and layer on top of it when it gets cold. I’d suggest you read or watch videos about ( motorcycle safety gear) if you’re new to motorcycling.
Can someone help me out, my Riding teacher told me this jacket ist Not good because its to thin and wont protect my Skin enough in case of an accident, is this true or are the elbow and shoulder parts reinforced for sliding on Asphalt?

Impressive armor set! Nice to see manufactures taking armor seriously.
We agree!
I wear this in the tropics at 30-35 C, nothing underneath and its truly cool.
Thanks for the info
In South Korea, summer is over 30ºC. so I was wondering if this jacket is cool enough
@cblais19 what is your body measurements (height, weight and chest) and what size you wear?
Good to know. I’m looking for something for daily use in Colombia.

I love this genre of riding gears. Imagine compact everything with protection
I much prefer the look and fit of this Nucleus to the Knox stuff which I really dislike. What was the waterproof top in this video, Tim, please?

I agree, an inner mesh/silk/whatever layer would be nice (as owner of Knox Honister)

Did you end up liking it more? Can't decide between this and the mk3
I need new gear for layering, 3 season riding. Would this be a better pick over the Klim Marrakech and why? Just learned about this one.

Rib armor is great for increased off road protection.
Cool video, thanks. Which rainjacket are you wearing at 1:40?

Is it stretchy or not? Video says it is.
@@Canpwr The main mesh is not stretchy at all, just the fabric on the outside of the arms and down the sides.

@@cblais19 can I write you on ig?
Do you think it will be enough ventilated for the summer? (Around 30-35 degrees)
It's entirely ventilated 3d mesh and breathable stretch. Only downside is being all black.
@@cblais19you are right about being back. But at least I could wear it during the summer nights
@@jesuslcampillo1989 I mean should be fine as long as you're moving 😂
@@cblais19 I doubt it. Too hot here in summer 😅. You need all the help that you can get
@cblais19 what is your body measurements (height, weight and chest) and what size you wear?
Thanks for the review. Is it stretchy enough to fit an airbag vest underneath?
Hi, you might need to size up if you are planing to wear an airbag vest underneath! - Iza
@@UrbanRiderlondon What about wearing an airbag vest (Klim/Ixon/Held In&Motion) over it if you remove the back protector?
Can this jacket be worn as a base layer under other revit jackets (similar to the proteus) or is it too big? If so should I buy the same size as my other jackets? Thanks!
Hey, I wear it under a rev it component jacket (both size L) Its thin, but the protectors make it a little bulky.
I have the Knox MK3 shirt which is similar. Tough to beat the Knox. It would be interesting to do a comparison.
You showed a waterproof layer several times in the video. What is it (Revit, judging by the branding) and how much does it cost? Thanks.
That's the Scott waterproof jacket. About €90. Super comfortable, stretchy fabric, lightweight and totally waterproof. I have the jacket and their waterproof trousers and rate them highly. Hope this helps.
@@kerrylawless8163 helps a lot. Thanks.
I'm 170cm tall, 65kg, nearly ~100cm chest. Will I get heat in summer if I order Small size? I want tight fit but not so snug to get heat in warm days.
Hi, please kindly refer toour size guide on the product page. - Iza
The reason i chose this over the Urbane Pro is because of 9 piece armour.
Perhaps something KNOX could consider doing in the future.
how about the abrasion resistance properties?
How is it compared to the Proteus Jacket from revit, they seem to be identical aside from one looking more breathable
The Proteus is basically just an armor carrying base layer with no abrasion resistance, so you MUST layer an abrasion resistant top (jacket or else).
The Nucleus is a CE AA certified abrasion resistant garment that also carries your armor, so it can be worn alone in hot days, and layer on top of it when it gets cold.

Does this have an integrated belt?
Can someone help me out, my Riding teacher told me this jacket ist Not good because its to thin and wont protect my Skin enough in case of an accident, is this true or are the elbow and shoulder parts reinforced for sliding on Asphalt?
Hi, the jacket is AA approved under the CE certification so it's safe to use on the road. - Iza
is it possible to switch the protectors to 3DO protectors ?
Hi, Revit garments have a specific shape for the armour pockets so any other armour will not sit 100% correctly. - Iza
What’s that for a rain jacket the AT rider is wearing?
Hi Marius, it's the Scott jacket: www.urbanrider.co.uk/scott-ergo-pro-dp-waterproof-jacket-black.html - Iza

What is the difference between AA and AAA certificates?
takes longer to abrade
Do you ship to Thailand?
Hi, Our apologies but we do not. - Iza
Revit, make it AAA rated and I'd give you my money!
Fr
Itd pretty much be AAA if you throw a thick hoodie over. Give you a decent amount of slide time on the ground
