Hey, y'all! As ya might know, last summer I went to Corsica but my Dane Goretex jacket&pants were way too hot, sweatin' like a pig! So I went lookin' around for an outfit, which could be worn all year round. Goretex and thermal liner for wet&cold days, vented for hot days. I stumbled upon the new Rev'it Defender jacket&pants: well thought details, nice design, zip-in Goretex and thermal liner(seperate!), lots of venting possibilities, lots of protection, lots of pockets, lots of adjustment possibilities, fits like a glove too! Will give a more detailed report as I've done some mileage with this outfit. The piccies show the colours I 've chosen: jacket Safari/White&Black; pants: Black. Oh and fairly priced too...
Greetz, Hans.

I am thinking of getting the same jacket - any thoughts on it so far. Is there enough ventilation for use it hot weather?

Not many thoughts so far, because of my accident the 31st October. My jacket was damaged and I'll get a new one. But the jacket fits like a glove and the three layer system works just fine(outer layer-goretex-thermal, last two can be seperately removed) and there are several ventilation possibilities(front, back and arms) for warm ridin' conditions. So does the pants for that matter.
Greetz, Hans.
