The idea came to him when he was working as a manager at a motorcycle gear importing company, and was seeing only two types of gear come through, the first being badly engineered and designed gear that met only the minimum safety specifications, and gear designed and engineered to be world-class, but also carried a high price tag. REV’IT was started in 1995 by founder Ivan Vos in the Netherlands. Citizens of the Netherlands are, on the average, some of the tallest people in the EU, and as such, I decided to give their Arc Air jacket a go. Being an ardent follower of “all the gear, all the time,” I won’t ride without a jacket, and at the time, I knew I had to find a mesh jacket for the upcoming summer season.Īfter searching far and wide, a lot of commentary was found on forums and in reviews that REV’IT mesh jackets were designed by the Dutch, and therefore fit well on big and tall people.

I was starting to arrive home from my rides absolutely drenched head to toe in sweat, despite having full ventilation open on the Andes V3. However, once May 2021 arrived properly, it brought with it a lot of warm winds and unseasonably warm days.
It withstood a couple of light rain showers when I was riding home, as well as protected me from some of the strong and cold winds that come down off the Rocky Mountains to sweep across the city. Varying between 5 C and 20 C (41 to 68 F), it was perfect weather that the jacket was designed for. When I reviewed the Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar Adventure Tourer jacket through the month of April, 2021, at the time the weather was, for Calgary, Alberta, seasonal. Every riding enthusiast appreciates versatile motorcycle gear.
