Versatility is one of the biggest things I look for in a motorcycle jacket — and honestly, it’s a goal for every rider. When you’re out there, you’re riding with the weather, not around it, and conditions can shift fast, sometimes within a single afternoon. That’s where REV’IT!’s women’s gear really shines: many of their jackets are built with smart, modular options like removable waterproof and thermal liners, so one piece can cover multiple seasons. I could list the usual specs of the jacket I reach for most—the REV’IT! Women’s Indigo — but first, I want to share the standout features that genuinely impress me every time I wear it.
REV’IT! Women’s Indigo Motorcycle Jacket
The Indigo’s clean style, flattering fit, and elegant lines make it a genuinely great-looking jacket when you’re wearing it — not just on the hanger. A true women’s cut matters to me, and this one delivers, especially with its longer length that sits well past my waist for better coverage and comfort on the bike. And of course, the protection is non-negotiable: shoulder and elbow armour, plus a back protector. Simply put, I won’t ride in a jacket without armour.
Summer and Hot Weather Cooling
This is one of the best vented jackets I’ve owned. When you get down to the base jacket there’s mesh, sleeve vents, chest vents and a collar which can be tagged open for more airflow. Even in the black colour leaves me extremely comfortable and cool on hotter days. But beware, as soon as the sun goes down, the base jacket is not enough. It’s quite chilly. You’ll have to add the liners so be sure to bring them along. Fortunately they take up little stowage space.
The rain liner also used to cut air flow if the temps drop. Adding the thermal liner makes for full wind chill protection. And the thermal liner is something I often wear when off bike and in need of a little jacket.
Neck Comfort, Collar Flexi Snap and Collar Hook
The rim of the Indigo collar is lined with extra soft fabric at the front of your throat. It makes for incredible comfort against the delicate neck area. This is a huge advantage if you’re a long distance rider.
The “flexi-snap” closure on the Indigo and most touring jackets in the REV’IT! line makes it possible to adjust the collar circumference easily and personalise fit to each rider. There are about five positions to select and can easily be adjusted while riding. It’s a simple but smart feature. Having the ability to adjust the collar based on the temperatures I’m riding in or when wearing a thicker scarf or thicker neckwear.
The “collar hook” and loop allow you to draw back the front side of the collar. This allows air flow and a lovely cooling to the neck during warm riders. There’s nothing more annoying that a jacket collar flapping against your neck!
Waterproof Lined Front Pockets
This is such an important feature. I’m always using my smart phone to social media. This means I need to have it be able to grab it quickly. The Indigo allows me this access from the front pouch pockets and ensures it will stay dry in a short rain shower. The inside pocket is too much to reach for as I need to unzip the jacket for access. Knowing that my smart phone is safe and dry is a great feature. Plus the hand warmer pockets are still available on the side – double bonus!
Waist Adjustments
The jacket has waist-side adjustable straps to ensure this area fits to me and whatever I wear underneath. I like that it also provides a nice feminine shape to what would normally be a bulky straight jacket. And yes, feminine style is a preference for me in any motorcycle gear.
The jacket has a good range of colour options: Silver/Black; Black; Black/Silver or Black/Red. I’ve the black silver combo of course.
In the Indigo Jacket, women have everything they need in a Motorcycle jacket for riding year-round. Here’s the list of the official features.

REV’IT! women’s Indigo motorcycle jacket is positioned as a touring jacket. I’ve worn the Indigo throughout Japan, on daily rides in the city and when I tour long distance. It’s a great all-rounder though with all it’s linings it will not be sufficient insulation when the temps drop below 12C.
Also good to note is it holds its own and doesn’t appear to look worn – even though mine has certainly been put through the kilometres and climates!
