The Flare 2 - with its typical camouflage pattern - is a 'like it or hate it' motorcycle jacket. At least in terms of style. The objective quality of this sporty, but obviously urban jacket is not up for discussion.
The Flare 2 is the successor of the Flare. The update is mainly a design update, making the Flare 2 motorcycle jacket look even better. There's also a very beautiful ladies’ version: the Flare 2 Lady.
These are still motorcycle jackets with a distinctly urban look, despite their camouflage pattern. Especially the removable hood makes the Flare 2 a garment you can easily walk around with, also without a motorcycle. ‘Casual urban' is the style that best sums it up.
The outer fabric consists of polyester 600D and polyester rib, resulting in a very durable jacket. REV'IT also re-equipped the Flare 2 with a non-removable, waterproof and breathable Hydratex® G-liner membrane. A removable thermal liner is available for use on colder days, while VCS zippers on the arms and back openings provide ventilation on warmer days. A full-length, double zipper with watercatchers enhances the jacket's waterproof properties.
The Flare 2 has roots in racing, which usually means: short and tight. Officially it's called a 'race fit', but the urban make-over makes sure you don't have to be a trained and lightweight race pilot. Adjustment possibilities come in the form of velcro strips at the waist and sleeve ends. There's an extra press button on the upper arms. Two zippered pockets in the front and an inner pocket in both jacket and thermo liner provide ample storage space.
Knox® Flexiform CE-protection on the shoulders and elbows offer very solid impact protection. The Flare 2 is also prepared for an upgrade to the SEESOFT™ CE-level 2 back protector - Type RV. The typical laminated reflection of the logo on the back ensures that you remain visible at night.
You will probably combine the Flare 2 with a good pair of motorcycle jeans. For that reason, a short connecting zipper is provided. You attach the Safeway belt to it and you're off.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
