Sizing Information
We tried a size Medium and an XL on our Fit Check mannequins Huey and Dewey. Those are sizes they usually wear in an “American” cut jacket. This jacket from REV’IT! fit very well. I also verified some chest and belly measurements and found those to also be in line with what you’d normally find in American men’s clothing. So, we recommend you buy the size you normally wear in US men’s clothing.
Below is a chart we put together that shows the REV’IT!-published chest sizes for each jacket’s alpha size along with our estimate of actual max chest and max waist/belly. As you can see, we think the jackets fit just a bit larger than REV’IT’s size chart indicaties.
This particular style doesn’t taper a whole lot from chest to waist… only about 2”, so most people won’t have to worry about whether the belly area will work for them, but for those who do have an ample belly, we list the max size for each alpha size so you can make sure the size you choose will work.

Our Two Cents
Here’s the all new-for-2016 Outback 2 jacket from REV’IT!. As adventure/touring style jackets go, this one has a climate control setup that is about as good as you’ll find. From hot to cold to wet even. This jacket combines a water resistant textile shell with a dual liner system. You can choose whether to use a thermal liner, or a rainproof liner, or both together depending upon the conditions you have at the moment. For hot weather use, this jacket has a lot of zippered venting too. On the chest, there are two vertical zip vents on the sides of the chest pockets and the sleeve cuff vents also double as vents to let air in. And then finally on the back, there is a large horizontal exhaust vent across the shoulder blades. We’ve got some great close-up pictures of all these vents and all the other features of this jacket which you can see by clicking the “images” link above.
And for the touring riders and commuters, there are lots of storage options. I see six pockets on the front, two inside and one big fanny pouch. Wow! There should be room enough to store everything you need.
The styling of this jacket is obviously “REVIT” and looks a lot like their others, but this year, they’ve combined some color with the usual black/grey basics and I really like the way they look. The Outback 2 offers the great list of features and also the REVIT! quality. They offer a lot of other styles in Gore-Tex versions, but frankly, I find the prices on those a bit over the top, so we are offering this jacket for the value. :: Paul, 03-16-16
