Motorcycle gear manufacturers continue to integrate world-class protection into everyday clothing pieces. Of course, riding jeans continue to shape the gear market, but Cordura and Aramid-based materials allow brands to produce casual-style jackets as well. Now, REV’It! is pushing further into everyday wear with the Whitby riding sweatshirt.
Taking on the cut and styling of a crewneck sweater, the Whitby delivers abrasion resistance with Cordura 750D Ripstop fabric and PWR|Shield reinforcements at the elbows and shoulders. Level 1 Seesmart elbow and shoulder armor provide sufficient impact mitigation, and customers can also fit a Level 2 back pad for additional protection. Despite its casual appearance, the Whitby’s protective properties result in a Class-AA PPE rating.
