And I can honestly say this is the best review because it’s actually a review from a long-term owner and not some piss in my pocket marketing dribble. Thank you very much for taking the time to put it together. You not only did it, but did it proper well 👌🏼🙏

Thanks Simon appreciated mate 👍

8:55 - I love this part! Rain protection part over the Jacket. 👍👍👍

That was funny, "Is it just me or". Priceless. Great review, thank you.😎

if the liner system is good enough for you in Scotland it'll for sure be good enough for me in the Pacific Northwest! Thanks for the review.

The water proof layer on the outside is a absolute eye opener...... can't wait to pick mine up next week.

Your review was very helpful. I just ordered this jacket.

Thank you for clearing up a few things that were unclear in other reviews. Especially the waterproof liner over top and seeing what it looked like. And explaining the venting in detail. I have the Sand 4 pants already so will be ordering this jacket. 👍👍

Nice!!! Thank you for your video, it has helped me to choose the jacket. I'm very happy.

Cracking review Cheers mate.

I bought this jacket a couple days ago. Very comfortable and ergonomic. Extremely breathable. Great value!

I own a jacket exactly like yours (only in blue) and I have to say your review is, above all, spot on! Then you have to add the joy it is to ear your amazing accent which is, in my humble opinion, one of the most charismatic of the English language. In my 1 year experience of the jacket, with a 5000 kms trip on using it, it's one of the best jacket for 4 seasons riding. Im taking it to Marrocos in a mount, having been to the snow of the Alpes. That says it all. PS: in my way to the Alps I´ve had a 900 kms day in the pouring rain and (although I ended up putting my rain suit on) it was fairly water resistant. I ended up buying one for my pillion (my wife) exactly the same.

Thanks for the review.

I have this jacket and really love it. Feels good comfortable. Even bought the pants to make it complete. I indeed also found it strange to buy a back protector but maybe other people choose other protectors so REV'it left them out. Nice take on putting the waterproof jacket on the outside 😂 surely going to try that. Cheers from NL.

Great review!! Subscribed! I'm looking for an enduro jacket. My brother loves his Klim Dakar jacket. I'm looking at other options just to see what's out there.. This was a careful, thorough review. Thanks a ton!

I bought this jacket. That’s why I’m watching your video. I was curious what all the extra straps on the shoulders and back do. I like your ideas of wearing the water proof layer on the outside. That makes far more sense. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing 👍. I enjoy your channel. Always got good advice 👌.

Nice review. I've got the Sand 3 and love it and no reason to think I wouldn't like this one. An alternative to putting the liner on the outside (Great idea BTW!!) to prevent 'wetting' is to spray the outer shell with waterproofing a couple of times a season. Boom. I'm looking at the Sand 4 as I like to keep a laminate suit and a liners suit in the wardrobe and my Sand 3 is a bit worn now. The trousers to the Sand 3 are the unsung heroes and I'm hearing it's the same with these. Toodle pip!

I just picked mine up this afternoon. Looking forward to putting 20,000 miles on it as well! Thanks for the video!

Looks good. I like all the vents. I wear a mesh jacket most of the time and add insulation under and/or a rain jacket over for wet or cold. Mostly I ride in extreme heat. High 30's to low 40's in northern Argentina. Same formula works in northern US but I use the layers a lot more. Price of the Sand 4 scares me away. I'm on a tight budget and my bike only cost $1500.

I survived hitting a deer at 100Km with an early version of the Klim Latitude JAcket. The Jacket looked like i had been attacked by a grizzly bear. But no skin abrasion.The Sand has better abrasion protection at 600D throughout the body. The advantage of the lamination is you dont have to stop. But most of the time in a group or with a pssenger they'll have to stop to overlayer rain gear.If you put the liner over the coat does not get soaked. and you dont wear the "lamination" all the time. Thanks very good Review. Rev'it owes you one.

After the crash into a deer at 100Kph. I decided that the Alpinestar air bag will offer the best protection. Had i been wearing the Air bag...i would not have broken clavicule and 6 broken ribs.With the air bag i would probably have walked away, So not having to pay for S2 armor that i wont use is for me a great choice.

Nice Video 👍

Putting the waterproof layer outside is a brilliant solution.

This is the best bike jacket i ever owned. ☺️ I sport the camo version shown in your video, with the original Revit back protector installed. This is by far my favorite jacket. Thank you for the excellent review. 🥳

Fantastic review thanks! I’m upgrading from the RST Adventure Pro 3, which I chose largely because it hit the protection and functionality goals at the right price point. Really nice review - I especially liked how you showed the waterproof liner could go over the jacket. The RST one definitely couldn’t. Tbh with the RST I only ever used the water proof liner as a wind break at certain times of the year and just took the dev it roll up waterproof outter layers to wear over it in stead, but it’s good to know this liner it can work if needed. How have you found falling over in it? I tried a jacket on in store and was bothe relieved and concerned how thin the rip stop fabric was. The adventure pro three was big and Chun my and heavy with its cordura, which was often a pain, but you did feel very protected in it.

Have you bought this jacket since, i have an rst adventure pro series. I like it, i feel protected and the venting is great, i do find somwtimes the elbow armour is very stiff and not comfy. I too use the liner as a wind break, i bought an over the jacket waterproof jacket also, its a better job. For the cold months i would prefer a better liner and i can use an outer waterproof when i get caught in the rain. How does the rev it compare to the rst?

Nice review, but I don’t like the boil in the bag waterproofing. I have an Oxford Modial that is laminated so nothing to carry around, good price as well. Only issue has been the trousers …. Leaked x1 split x1 ( both times crotch) but sports bike shop sorted with replacements both times. Good idea to put the waterproof liner on the outside …. Thanks for the review.

That move with the waterproof layer at the end is legendary. Quick question - does that work with the pants layer too ?)

As I found out this morning the answer is no, cos it is sewn onto the thermal lining so they don't part 😞probably answered a month too late for you but someone else might want to know as well.

Having the liner on the inside is a crap idea. I pulled mine out, and bought the Cyclone H20 over jacket. Have the pants, and pulling the liner out of that as well, and buying the Acid H20 overpant, think about it. You’re on a multi day trip, and it pisses down with rain. You have a tent, and then you have to dry it out. Keeping the water away from the main body, makes it way easier to manage.

What about the revit air bag that tethered to the bike and has gas canister

Anybody 've tried the waterproof layer trick with Defender 3 GTX vest?

I bought the alpinestars drystar andes V3 and with the inner liner I've ridden in -12C without feeling cold. It might be a bit hot in summer even without the liner and the vents open, but I'll find out in about 2 months.

@@project.jericho Unfortunately, I wish it were so. A lot of riding gear is crap and not water, wind or weather proof. Just a thought for you: I agree that the protection levels are very important and a lot of suits, like this one, give you good protection and good weather protection. It's all compromise. If a suit is top protection but uncomfortable and leaks and cold, who's going to wear that?

very good review beats revzilla and motolegends
