REV’IT! Kodiak GTX
Our REV’IT! Kodiak GTX Final Verdict
After using the REV’IT! Kodiak GTX, through a full season of cold weather riding, I’m thoroughly impressed by their performance and quality.
They have kept my hands warm and dry in some truly nasty conditions, from freezing rain to heavy snow.
I really like the premium materials they used. The goatskin outer shell is supple and durable, while the GORE-TEX membrane provides reliable waterproofing and breathability. The Thinsulate insulation traps heat without feeling overly bulky.
In my experience, the Kodiak GTX strikes an excellent balance between weather protection and dexterity.
I can still operate all my controls with ease despite the warm lining. The hard-shell knuckle armor and palm slider give me peace of mind that my hands are well-protected in case of a spill.
I typically struggle to find gloves that fit my long fingers, but the Kodiak GTX in size large fits me perfectly.
The single-motion closure system cinches the cuff tightly to seal out drafts. I also appreciate small details like the visor wipe and touchscreen-compatible fingertip – they make them much more convenient to use.
