Full details
The Rev It Vertical Gore-Tex Motorcycle Trousers are designed for adult male riders who demand versatility and all-weather protection without a high price tag. The key benefit is breathable waterproofing thanks to the laminated Gore-Tex construction, ensuring comfort in diverse conditions. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are geared towards touring and may not offer the extreme sport-specific features of higher-end models. These trousers offer a multi-season solution with features like a removable thermal liner, integrated CE-level protection, and adjustable fit points for enhanced rider comfort and safety.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for summer riding?
Yes, the Gore-Tex fabric is highly breathable, and the removable thermal liner can be taken out, making them adaptable for warmer conditions. However, for extreme heat, dedicated summer mesh trousers might offer more ventilation.
Can I wear these over my regular pants?
The Rev It Vertical Gore-Tex Trousers are designed to be worn as protective motorcycle gear, typically over base layers or light undergarments, not over bulky everyday clothing. They are cut for this purpose and include armor.
What is the difference between SeeSmart and SeeFlex armor?
SeeSmart armor is typically CE-Level 1 protection, offering a good balance of impact resistance and flexibility. SeeFlex armor is CE-Level 2, providing a higher level of impact absorption and protection, commonly used in more critical areas like the knees.
How durable is the Gore-Tex material?
Gore-Tex is known for its durability and long-lasting waterproof and breathable properties when properly cared for. The laminated construction adds to the overall robustness of the trousers.
Are these trousers available in different leg lengths?
Yes, this model is often available in different leg length options (e.g., Short, Regular, Long) to ensure a proper fit for various rider heights. Please check the specific product listing for available sizes.
How do I maintain the waterproofness of the trousers?
Regular washing with a technical cleaner and re-applying a DWR finish every few months, or when water no longer beads on the surface, will help maintain the Gore-Tex membrane's performance.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite Gore-Tex construction
Ensure the DWR treatment is still effective. Wash the trousers with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR finish. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric or seams.
Armor feels uncomfortable or misaligned
Utilize the adjustment straps on the knee armor pockets to reposition it for optimal coverage and comfort. Ensure the hip armor is correctly seated in its pocket.
Trousers feel too hot
Remove the thermal liner. Open ventilation zippers if present (on compatible models). Wear lighter base layers if appropriate for the ambient temperature.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
