REV'IT! Slate H2O Glove (MD, LG, Or XXL Only)
The Slate H2O motorcycle gloves redefine the standard when it comes to Urban waterproof, short-cuffed gloves. While graphic design language is subtle, these motorcycle gloves have nice detailing to them. We also incorporate the new reflective PWR|Fuse material at the back of the hand and fingers, not only for good looks but for added dimension and texture.
Waterproofing comes via the semi-bonded hydratex|Z-liner insert, while the 3M™ Thinsulate™ at the back of the hand is there for extra comfort. Making sure that your summer rides in the rain (or cold) don’t affect the performance of your fingers. A suede leather visor wiper along with the Connect Finger Tips at the thumb and index fingers, make the Slate H2O gloves even more user-friendly.
Adjustability:- Adjustment tab at cuff
- Stretch at thumb
- Hook-and-loop closure
- Tri-fleece liner
This polyester tricot fabric is used for glove lining, and brushed to provide extra warmth without adding any bulk. The lining wicks moisture away, to prevent hands from getting damp.
Features:- Conductive fingertip at index finger
- Conductive fingertip at thumb
- Short cuff
- Stretch at cuff
- Suede leather visor wiper
- hydratex®|Z-liner
A waterproof layer is laminated onto a carrier to construct the REV’IT! hydratex®|Z-liner membrane. The carrier, in turn, protects the membrane against wear-and-tear damage, and the seams of the membrane are taped to ensure waterproofing. The Z- liner is constructed between the lining and the outer shell. The REV’IT! hydratex®|Z-liner membrane is used in garments that demand a high level of all-weather protection.
Insulation:- 3M™ Thinsulate™ G 100g
Thinsulate™ G insulation features large air pockets to trap heat, allowing a garment to remain extremely warm for an extended period of time. The spacious air pockets also allow a garment to remain lightweight and quick to dry.

- Temperfoam® palm slider
- Temperfoam® thumb knuckle

Sizing Information
We find that gloves from REV’IT! are generally very consistent in fit from one model to the next, and we find they run a bit on the snug side as compared to most US based brands. The fit is very similar to Alpinestars which also fit more snugly than other brands of gloves. The tendency to run small is not so noticeable that we’d advise you to buy one size larger, but if you are sometimes in between sizes, your best shot would be to choose larger. Hopefully, you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based on the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.
Our Two Cents
The Slate H2O is another great waterproof glove from REV’IT!
The REV’IT! Slate H2O features a Z-liner insert for waterproofing which keeps the water out while still allowing the hand to breathe. The back of the hand also has a thin 3M™ Thinsulate™ that keeps you warm on those cool morning rides.
The knuckle, palm, and thumb all feature comfortable Temperfoam® protectors. The knuckle also has an injected flexible protector while the palm includes a TPU slider over the Temperfoam®. The index fingers and thumbs have connective material that works on iPhone and Android devices here at the shop. The left glove has a suede leather strip along the index finger and a portion of the thumb that works as a visor wiper that you might not ever realize is there unless you notice the slight difference from the right glove.
The backhands of the glove are an interesting knit like material that has several reflective threads interwoven. When hit with light they really light up well, take a look at our additional photos. The only call out I have with the gloves is the hook and loop closure strap. It works great for achieving a secure fit at the wrist, but the strap lays too flat and is difficult to get ahold of while wearing the gloves. It’s a minor issue, but worth noting as something to improve on in version 2.0 in a few years.
The REV’IT! Slate H2O gloves are a great short cuff option for the rider who is looking for a lightweight waterproof glove with a little bit of insulation. The inclusion of 3M™ Thinsulate™ G 100g means I can’t recommend this glove for hot weather, but you should be ok in warm to cool temperatures. :: Mike, 4/22/2022
