REV'IT! Matador Jacket
The three-season Matador motorcycle jacket mixes versatility with racing-inspired elements, making it an ideal jacket for the rider that is looking for a sportive and highly protective jacket for short or long touring rides on the asphalt. The inclusion of a detachable thermal liner allows for warmer riding in colder temperatures.
Without the thermal liner, the perforated areas of the Matador jacket help cool the upper body down, adding comfort to rides under the burning sun. Even more convenience is provided by the right amount of stretch on the inside of the arms, keeping freedom of movement at a high level. In case of a fall, SEEFLEX CE-level 2 protectors at the shoulders and elbows provide top-level of impact protection. The MotoGP-derived shoulder protectors also offer additional reinforcement in case of a slide.

The stitching in motorcycle garments contributes greatly to the abrasion resistance of the total gear. This is why REV’IT! uses safety seams on garment areas at increased risk of impact. Safety seams have a visible as well as an invisible seam. This construction keeps the material of the outer shell together, even when the visible seam is thorn.

Sizing Information
Choose a size based upon your chest measurement. For those in the smaller size ranges, the size chosen will be the same size as in other well known European sized jackets such as Alpinestars, but in the larger size ranges, you’ll be choosing one size larger than you might normally choose.
We’ve checked the chest and belly on each size jacket and we’ve concluded the chart from REVIT is a good approximation of how they fit. We’ve added a column to their chest estimate to show the max belly as well. The overall fit of this jacket is less race oriented than other jackets with similar styling, so they’ll fit fine on those with average builds, or even those with a bit of a belly. There are waist adjusters so those with a more trim waist can snug the waist area down quite a bit if necessary.
| Jacket Size | Max Chest | Our Estimate of Max Belly/Waist |
|---|---|---|
| 46 | 35-37 | 35 |
| 48 | 37-38 | 36 |
| 50 | 39-40 | 37 |
| 52 | 40-41 | 38 |
| 54 | 42-43 | 40 |
| 56 | 43-44 | 41 |
| 58 | 45-46 | 42 |
| 60 | 46-48 | 44 |

Our Two Cents
The Matador jacket is a new sport jacket style from REV’IT! for Spring 2022.
The Matador comes in three great colorways, the Anthracite looks great in person. The back and chest have a laser perforation pattern that starts with small perforations at the bottom and gets progressively larger as you move up the jacket. The upper arms also have a more traditional perforated leather portion. Inside the jacket there is a removable thermal vest liner that zips into the outer shell. There is one internal pocket on this vest liner, and the jacket shell itself has two pockets on the belly area and one napoleon pocket. On the outer shell there are two zippered hand warmer pockets.
The fit of this jacket is a little more snug than normal for larger sizes but seems about right for size 50 and below. The drop from chest to belly is about 3 inches which is in between the normal casual drop of 2 inches and the normal sport drop of 4 inches. The fit is fairly simple despite all that because the jacket has numerous stretch panels. There are accordion panels on the chest, back, and upper arms and stretch material down the sides of the torso and sleeves. The waist has hook and loop adjusters so you can snug it down for a custom fit. The cuffs have zippered opening with gaitered openings that make it easy to get the jacket on and off or tuck a gauntlet glove into the sleeve.
The jacket has SEEFLEX™ level 2 armor at the shoulders and elbows and is prepared for SEESOFT™ chest and back protectors, you can find those items linked below. There is also TPU protection at the shoulder. The chest and lower back have reflective strips as well so you are visible in low light conditions.
The Matador jacket is a good sport leather option for the rider looking for some airflow with a thermal liner option. The moderate drop and stretch panels make fit fairly easy, and the styling is very clean. :: Mike, 02-24-2022
