RevolutionRace
A Swedish direct-to-consumer brand whose Hypershell membranes carry published per-model figures at entry-to-mid prices.
Background
The official 2023/24 annual report states the business has offered products since 2013; the retail homepage says 'since our start in 2014'. Both statements exist in official material; the corporate report is the more formal source.
What to check before buying
Editorial buying guidance, not a brand rating
Check the exact model's own figures rather than the category page's 'up to' numbers, and read the brand's relative durability rating as a comparison within its own range, not an independent test.
For the general method, see how to choose a waterproof jacket and waterproof ratings explained.

WaterproofJacket.com assessment
Our editorial view of the brand
Strengths
- Per-model published figures — the Arcade 3L is documented at 15,000 mm and 20,000 g/m²/24h
- Publishes a relative durability rating per product (e.g. Arcade 3/5, 'normal wear resistance')
- Care guidance distinguishes face-fabric wet-out (a breathability problem) from membrane waterproofness
Weaknesses
- Range-level claims like 'up to 20,000 mm' are maximums, not per-jacket specifications
- No brand-operated mail-in repair service found on official sources — consumer repair kits only
- Warranty terms are split by region (US Inc vs AB markets) with no single worldwide policy
