The Barrier from REV'IT! is made to draw a line and stop rain, mud, wind, in fact, just about anything that is harsh. This is a super lightweight nylon raincoat, and a magisterial addition to your motorcycle clothing.
The Barrier is part of the wider DIRT-SERIES concept, where motorbike jackets remain motorbike jackets, and a raincoat complements it. When the need arises.
The Barrier is also a smock: an anorak cut with a fixed hood, which you put on over your head and where the zipper stops halfway the chest. Because this is indeed motorcycle clothing, and REV'IT! has some experience, there's also a diagonal zip, running from the chest to the waist. This combination allows you to put on the Barrier without having to remove your helmet.
After all, when do motorcycle helmets fall on the ground? Indeed, when you are in a hurry with extra rain gear, motorcycle boots which now suddenly look like seven mile boots, helmets with phenomenal sun visors, cross glasses and wet gloves. Under a bridge. Or a tree. While it is lightning. Well, those who recognize this scene, will definitely appreciate the Barrier.
The entire raincoat consists of nylon-ripstop. Almost, because the observant wearer will also notice the four subtle laminated reflective details. It breathes just fine: REV'IT! has always (and gladly) turned to Hydratex®, a material that has become a guarantee for good and pleasant climate control.
This is a versatile addition, because even when the weather changes every hour of the day, the Barrier remains a practical item. Not only is it easy to put on and take off, you can also quickly store it in the carry bag. Volume: a can of soda. And much lighter.
