Product Information
Full details
The Rev It Vertical Gore-Tex Motorcycle Trousers are designed for adult male riders undertaking touring and all-weather journeys. Their key benefit is breathable waterproofing, ensuring comfort by preventing external water ingress while allowing internal perspiration to escape. A potential caveat is that optimal performance requires proper care and maintenance of the Gore-Tex membrane. These trousers offer versatile protection and comfort through a laminated Gore-Tex construction, a detachable thermal liner, integrated SeeSmart and SeeFlex armor, and strategically placed stretch panels for enhanced mobility.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for summer riding?
Yes, the trousers can be used in summer by removing the thermal liner. The Gore-Tex membrane provides breathability, but in very high temperatures, they might feel warmer than a dedicated summer pant.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex membrane?
The Gore-Tex membrane is cleaned as part of washing the entire garment. Follow the care instructions for machine washing and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents.
What is the difference between SeeSmart and SeeFlex armor?
SeeSmart armor is typically thinner and designed for everyday impact protection (CE-Level 1), often used for hips. SeeFlex armor is designed for higher impact absorption (CE-Level 2) and is often used for knees, offering more robust protection.
Can I wear regular pants underneath these trousers?
Yes, these trousers are designed to be worn over base layers or regular riding pants. The adjustable fit allows for some space, but excessively bulky underlayers may affect comfort and armor positioning.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
Reapply the DWR treatment when water no longer beads up and rolls off the outer fabric. This can vary depending on usage and how often the garment is washed, but typically every few washes or annually is a good guideline.
What is the warranty on these trousers?
Please refer to the manufacturer's official documentation or contact the retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Are these trousers fully waterproof or water-resistant?
These trousers feature a laminated Gore-Tex construction, which provides *waterproof* and breathable protection, meaning they are designed to keep water out completely while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Troubleshooting
Trousers are leaking water.
Ensure the Gore-Tex membrane is clean and free of dirt or residue. Check that the DWR finish is still active; if not, reapply a DWR treatment. Verify that all zippers and Velcro closures are fully sealed.
Not feeling waterproof despite Gore-Tex.
The outer fabric may be 'wetted out' if the DWR has failed. Wash the trousers and reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on low heat. If the issue persists, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Armor feels uncomfortable or shifts.
Ensure the armor is correctly positioned in its pocket and that the pocket's Velcro closure is secure. Adjust the strap settings on the knee armor for a better fit. Consider the fit of the trousers at the waist and legs.
Thermal liner is too bulky.
For warmer conditions, remove the thermal liner completely. Ensure it is stored properly to avoid damage.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth carefully with a brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax to ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Armor Insertion: Locate the internal pockets for the knee and hip armor. Open the Velcro closures and carefully slide the SeeFlex (knee) and SeeSmart (hip) protectors into their respective pockets. Ensure they are correctly positioned and that the Velcro is securely fastened.
- Fit Adjustment: Adjust the tabs at the waist, calves, and ankles to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. This helps seal out wind and rain.
- Thermal Liner: If using the thermal liner, zip it into the main trousers. Ensure all connection points are secured.
Compatibility:
- These trousers are designed to be worn over base layers and potentially integrate with Rev It jackets using a connection zipper (check specific jacket compatibility).
- Compatible with most standard motorcycle boots.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue, which is crucial for Gore-Tex performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Once dry, you can tumble dry for 20 minutes to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment (e.g., Nikwax, Grangers) to maintain water repellency, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
