The REV’IT! Eclipse 2 Jacket is an evolution of their most popular jacket style with some notable upgrades over the original version. The jacket is still ideal for commuting and touring riders that are looking for a lightweight summer mesh jacket with no liners that brings quality and style to the table at a reasonable price.
The most notable difference in the Eclipse 2 is the use of REV’IT!’s proprietary SeeSmart CE level 1 armor in the elbows and shoulders. This flexible armor is much thinner and more comfortable than the original style’s Knox armor. The other big difference is the styling at the back of the jacket. Where the original had a solid textile strip down the center, the Eclipse 2 has a full mesh back panel. REV’IT! was able to improve the breathability of the jacket while still offering the same abrasion resistance as the old version by using a new polyester mesh that holds up better in a slide.
The new polyester mesh material has a slightly wider weave than the mesh used on the original Eclipse jacket. The difference is minor so overall airflow should be roughly the same though slightly improved thanks to panel changes through the body of the jacket. Two zippered hand pockets at the belly are easier to access than the earlier version thanks to a larger opening and a slight angle that is more natural to the body line. The Eclipse 2 jacket has snap bicep adjuster, hook and loop adjusters at the cuff and waist, and a snap collar closure. There is an additional pocket inside the jacket in the mesh lining. There are also two snap loops at the waist for easy connection to a pair of jeans or riding pants.
REV’IT! has updated the Eclipse 2 with new colors of Black Olive and Grey while bringing back the Silver, Dark Blue, and Black. The women’s version has a new Aubergine color replacing the Burgundy Red. All the colors look great in person and none are overly flashy, the perfect combination for commuter riders. Likewise, subdued reflective at the chest and back help maintain a low profile until they are needed in a low light situation and then they really shine.
The REV’IT! Eclipse 2 jacket is a great update to their most popular jacket style. Additional mesh and better armor help bring this style up to date. A great summer jacket for commuters and touring riders alike. :: Mike, 07/11/2023
