The Spark Air jacket from REV’IT! is the matching top to the Spark Air pants, and like the pants is all about being comfortable and flowing a ton of air to keep you cool in the hot summer months. Like the pants, the Spark Air jacket is primarily maid of out 3D air mesh, a knitted fabric that has an open 3-dimensional structure that ensures good ventilation, as well as PWR Shell stretch. This construction allows the Spark Air jacket to flow air with the best of them while still achieving an impressive AA abrasion resistance rating.
Let’s talk about fit and comfort, REV’IT! states that this jacket has a Race Fit, but I disagree as it not anywhere near as tight as my REV’IT! race jackets, in fact I would argue that its more of a casual fit and it definitely looks, feels and wears like a stiffer hoody, not a body hugging race jacket. Speaking of the hoodie, that is clearly the style inspiration here and REV’IT! was mindful to include a button to allow you to fix the hood to the back to keep it from blowing about in the wind too much. A nice touch between the REV’IT! Spark Air Pants and Jackets is that they do features a short connection zipper allowing you to attach the two to each other and to keep your jacket from riding up. In the case that you are wanting to connect to a different pair of pants that don’t have the connection zipper, REV’IT! also included means loop hooks that allows you to attach your pants that way. Lastly for a comfort standpoint you will find an elasticated waist and cuff.
From a protection standpoint, aside from the AA abrasion resistance rating the Spark Air jacket also includes SEESMART CE-level 1 Shoulder Protectors and SEESMART CE-level 1Elbow Protectors, while offering a spot to put in the optional SEESOFT CE-level 2 Insert Back Protector. Additional features include thumb loops as well as laminated reflection on both the chest and the back.
Overall I am really impressed with the protection level in a jacket that is so comfortable and free flowing, especially in the hot summer months. This is a jacket that I own personally and do recommend it for hot weather riding. :: Damir 3/27/24
