One of the staples in Revit's collection is the Sand 3, an adventure jacket that is a true Swiss army knife packed to the brim with utilitarian features. The Dutch powerhouse that is Rev'It! took this bestseller and reworked it, aiming at those with a more urban riding style. They cleaned up the front of the jacket and used polycotton 2L which has a wax coated look to it, furthermore the outer shell is reinforced with strong polyester oxford on the impact zones and Lorica on the shoulders for a leather looking finish. This three quarter length jacket is a modern take on the shooting style jackets that were used in the early days of motorcycling.
Cleaned up looks and sleek city styling do not mean the Sand Urban lacks any functionality though: it's a hugely versatile all-season riding jacket that means business. Underneath the abrasion-resistant outer layer you'll find the highly breathable and fully waterproof hydratex membrane, go one layer deeper and there is a snug thermal liner. The combination of these three layers will see you riding through the depths of winter, but the Sand Urban will also prove its worth on the other extreme of the thermometer: the thermal liner and hydratex membrane can easily be removed and there's massive mesh vents hidden away behind the zips on the chest, arms and back. The jacket has multiple adjustability options at the waist and arms that ensure a perfect fit.
The Sand Urban comes with inconspicuous yet impressively effective Seesmart CE level 1 protectors in the shoulders and elbows and there is a pocket for a CE level 2 Seesoft back protector. Rev'It! is on to a massive winner in our book and has managed to combine truly impressive functionality with sleek stylish looks.
