For being so speedy about sending this unit over, and for the privilege of testing the Coral jacket out* REV’IT! Coral Jacket Featuresĭespite the Coral jacket’s lack of water repellence, her blend of style and function (and REV’IT!’s careful attention to the smaller details) leave me quite happy with the following list of perks. The marque herself is one of the fastest-growing clothing brands in the industry and is ‘recognized as a benchmark for good product design in the industry’ to boot.Īll of these facts make great ingredients for our review, so let’s see how she does, shall we? REV’IT! Currently celebrates more than a couple of ongoing collaborations with big brands like Husqvarna, Harley-Davidson, Touratech, and MOTOURISMO. With the label promoting ‘an open and transparent culture,’ laser-centered on creating their ‘functional clothing of the highest quality,’ it likely doesn’t surprise you that we’re not the only ones to give the good nod to the brand. It’s no secret that wBW deals in a lot of REV’IT! Gear. The REV’IT! Coral jacket definitely lives up to the reputation for pristine fitment.

I had dabbled a bit on the editorial side of our company and had seen many a jacket get the gavel for insufficient protection, bad bang-for-buck, or ill fitment – and now, it was my turn to wield the hammer. When the team here at wBW lined up everybody for their choice of gear to review, I was excited to get my hands on something new. I’ve got to admit this review process has changed my mind about an entire genre of motorcycle jackets. Heads turn anytime a beautiful custom chopper hits the street.REV’IT!

Creating a custom chopper is not only a fun experience, but the enjoyment of riding a machine that is really personal and your own is very rewarding. Riders love to show off their wheels, especially at events like Bike Week, and custom choppers are always the star of the show. Some customizations that can really make a chopper special are paint jobs, personalized graphics, chromed out parts, engine upgrades, unique wheels and rims, and accessories. ![]() Extended forks, high handle bars, long front ends, and low positioned seats are all characteristics of choppers that are so recognizable today. Custom choppers can be built and modified, or “chopped” from an original motorcycle model, or can be constructed from scratch. They are known for their low, stretched appearance, and are sought out by motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere. Custom choppers emerged and became popular in the ‘50s, starting in California.
