How good is the new Dominator GTX from REV'IT! As usual, I will be completely honest with you and will tell you that this jacket was sent to me for free in exchange for a detailed video review in my channel. Maybe in this point some of you will say – Aha, he sold his opinion, if you are one of those people - fair enough, I cannot tell you in what you prefer to believe, but if you already know me and followed me in the last few years, you will know that I used Rev’it riding gear in the last three years.
I had Rev’it Poseidon GTX and I rode it in all possible conditions, road, off road, mud, rain, even snow. I tested the model on temperatures from minus 12 to plus 46 degrees. I talked a lot about it and even made a video review.
Based on my experience with the brand I was more than happy when the guys from Rev’it told me that they will send it to me for free. Actually I don’t need to convince them at all, because the person I was communicate was already my subscriber. All right, enough talks let’s focus on the gear. The first point I am going to talk is functionality:
As I told you I owned the Poseidon model which is like the good introduction or the base of the Dominator. In my Poseidon jacket for first time I saw these large ventilation pockets, with attachable magnets and this was actually what sold me out. With the combination with the exhaust pocket on the back the jacket provide and excellent ventilation, allowed me to ride it even in a very hot days.
In the Poseidon I had 6 vents in the front and one large on the back, but on the Dominator we have 8 on the front side and two large on the back. What it interesting is that the one single pocket I had on the Poseidon was almost completely closed from my hydration pack, which is not a problem with the Dominator, because they moved the pockets on the side.
The second improvement they did was with these sliding adjustable straps. On the Poseidon they were different design, without the possibility to slide it and honestly they were not really useful for me. I never really like the way the jacket was designed. I had an impression that the jacket was made for people with tight shoulders and big asses. In my case I need to buy the larger option they had, which is XYL, which is something like triple XXXL. Fair enough, it was good on my shoulders, but to big on the bottom part and because of the not so well working adjustable straps I had the shape I already told you. With the new Dominator they change the design and now I can have XXL without any problems. Also they add these zippers here on the bottom to fix this problem if you have it.
