Most riders avoid weather extremes like rain, hail, snow, sleet, and blazing heat. I know adventure riders who actually seek out these extremes -- preferably in the same day! Obviously, riders with this mindset seek out gear with the ability to adapt to this full palette of environmental offerings.
The REV'IT! Sand Jacket is right down the adventure rider's alley. The Sand is the newest evolution of the very popular Off Track jacket. OK, I always liked the nuances of the "Off Track" name, but the Sand appears to be an improvement on an already great jacket.
The Sand is a very technical jacket that has a full compliment of inserts, liners, and membranes that layer in various configurations to provide the right protection in an extreme range of conditions. Venting is ample in the chest, underarms, and back. The outer shell is a combination of three different weights of textile. Adjustability is extreme as well. There are adjusters at the arms, underarms, waist, and hips. A plethora of pockets rounds out the Sand jacket.
Protection is offered in the form of CE-approved armor in the shoulders and arms. Sadly, no back armor comes in the package. This is the only downside I see in this jacket. The Sand is offered in 4 color combinations and sizes small through 4XL.
