Roadskin Ranger Motorcycle Jacket vs Rev'it Defender 3 GTX Jacket

Buy the Roadskin Ranger if you want a casual-looking textile jacket with AAA protection and all the armor included as standard. Buy the Rev'it Defender 3 GTX if you ride in real rain and want a removable GORE-TEX liner plus a thermal liner for four-season touring. The Ranger wins on protection rating and out-of-the-box completeness; the Defender 3 wins on weatherproofing, ventilation and adjustability. Owners of the Ranger praise the fit, warmth and included armor but note generous sizing, a loose hem and weight.

• Choose the Roadskin Ranger if you want the highest AAA protection rating, Level 2 armor for back, shoulders and elbows included, and a relaxed olive-green jacket that works on and off the bike.
• Choose the Rev'it Defender 3 GTX if you ride through wet weather and want a removable GORE-TEX liner, a thermal liner and large ventilation panels for four-season touring.
