Another well in depth review Ian, I was looking for a jacket last week, and went with the Alpinestar jacket since the klim baha suit 4 was kind of expensive for my budget. Looked into Revit and watched Ryan from fortnine i liked his review and the features of the alpinestar which i ordered. It is a 3 season suit.... and i agree with puting a rain suit on top of the jacket not liners.... Thanks for the detailed review.
I use similar gear from Büse (Büse Highlands) and I found you experience on the layer system very insightful! I think it's not for changing it on a ride at the side of the road but for preparing in the morning. So if the weather is getting worse and it's going to be a rainy day than you put that inlay into the jacket. There are two things that could be worth to speak about in a video: First the boots! I do have off-road boots from Vanucci (VTB 11) and they simply don't fit under my pants! Normal sized touring boots do fit though! And I don't want to stuff my pants into the boots because with all the zipper and the length it's kinda to much either. So it's kinda like with heavy off-road boots that I need different pants that are small on the foot so that they can go inside the boot. It seems like that there are boots that simply are to big to wear a pant above them?! Maybe you can show some examples here! For rain protection it does makes sense for me to let the pants fall over the boot like you show in your video. And the second one is simply cleaning and washing! Can I wash my gear simply in a washing machine or does that break some fabric or weather protection? Especially loosing water protection wouldn't be so nice. On the other hand if I use a water protection spray than the whole gear seams to loose some of it's ventilation. How do you clean your pants and jacket? It would be totally fine for me if your would cooperate with a partner when doing a video about that. After all if I know what to look for I don't care about the specific brand. Oh and as you kinda said: it's always good to drive to a store and try things on! Because gear like that needs to fit well. I'm always disappointed by people giving negative feedback if clothes don't fit when they ordered online. Things like that need to be tried first. Greetings from Germany! Ride on and Ride safe!
I bought the Rev'it Sand 3 back in 2019 I think and was absolutely amazed at how good it was especially for the discounted price I got it as. Worked well in German summer and winter. Then in early 2022 I had quite a big slide and was even happier with my investment in this suit because I had abolutely no injuries thanks to the suit. If I had not worn the pants that day, I would definitly be missing a kneecap today. Anyway, after that and without any hesitation I bought the Sand 4, just to discover that it is even better. The ventilation is even better, it looks better, it fits better. I haven't tried it in an accident yet and don't plan on trying it anytime soon, but I can really encourage everyone to try out Rev'it gear, especially if you are on a tighter budget so you want some gear that you can use in all 4 seasons.
My first experience with RevIt is there rain riding suit and love it! When I used to ride in the PNW with all the rain there it works phenomenal, dry and adds another layer to keep the wind out as well and keep the heat in during the cooler months. Great review Ian, thanks for sharing, be nice to review the Cardo and Sena systems if you have experienced both or could get your hands on them, thanks
I use the Rev It Sand 4 in San Luis Obispo County California. Could be 110 degrees in one part of the county and 55 degrees in another area on the same day. Extreme Micro climates. Works great for me.
I originally purchased the Klim Carlsbad suit. It worked for me, but I felt it was too loose and bulky. I sold it and purchased a Rev’it Dominator 3 suit. I absolutely love the European cut. Once my Klim mesh suit wears out, I’ll likely buy a Rev’it mesh suit. Great review, Ian!
This Revit review meshes well with previous KLIM reviews. It's good to see a range of choices. Does the Revit jacket zip to the pants? Your choices and experience with rain suits, gloves and gaiters would be interesting (as are all of your videos). Thank you!!
Just bought this jacket, and according to the Rev'it website - as well as the sales person - the hydratex liner is meant to be worn OVER the shell for rain protection even though it also serves as the liner. Haven't got around to trying that out though.
I have an older Revit jacket and it has held up well. Good stuff. I am now using Motoport stuff that is custom fit out of CA. They use a stretch Kevlar fantastic gear
I'm a big Rev'it fan! I'm maybe 1/2" taller than you and same other dimensions but a Medium in Rev'it fits me perfectly; I like my gear to fit snug but not tight. I feel more comfortable that the armor will be in the right place if/when needed. I have 5 different Rev'it jackets all Med size but I do not wear their liners, I use other liners when required. If I was going to wear the liners then a Large would fix better, not sure about an XL. I do like that blue offtrack jacket, I bet your wife loves your collection of riding gear...HAHA
Got myself the Re:vit Sand H2O combi in black/white/blue/red including the insulating layer and waterproof membrane. For my climate in SW Germany the right choice of gear. I don’t have any comparison experience with Klim gear though. I see the point of separate waterproof overalls but so far I was lucky enough to have made the right choices of membrane before I went out for a ride. Use it lots to commute shorter distances, too.
I believe Rev’It suggests you wear their rain liner OVER the jacket, yes? Other reviews also recommend that, and say that it works extremely well. Other reviews also have noted the jacket offers excellent ventilation. By the way, the jacket is on sale during the holiday season.
Rev-it gloves are also sized way small. I bought the Rev-it Sand 4 gloves and I wear a medium / large in gloves however, with Rev-it Sand 4 glove I was warned to go big. So, I bought the XXL gloves, and the fingers were still tight - real tight. I had to break them in before I dare use them for riding. While watching TV or TH-cam I put on the gloves and repeatedly make a fist over and over and any movement to strain the leather in all ways possible. I did this several evenings and eventually the gloves fit much better. Warning - for the Rev-it Sand 4 gloves go up two sizes.
As a big guy...like Ben from Dork on the Road....I find Revit so European sized for sure..not made for American sizes....I do have some of their gear and it's fantastic....just wish it was sized like Klim...more American cut..haha....again great content...spot on....again their stuff is top notch.
I am using the Revit Sand 4 which i believe is a better jacket than the Offtrack, pants seem to be exactly the same. I also use waterproof liner on the outside. Sand 4 has been great for the past one and a half year for me in Greece, from the hot beach to the cold snowy mountains in one jacket.
@@spiros06 φοραω αδιάβροχα της Dainese , κόστισαν 90 ευρώ πανω κατω , τα εχω χρόνια βεβαια τωρα θα διάλεγα της revit που ναι ιδια σχεδον ακριβώς και θα επέλεγα το neon αδιάβροχο για την ορατότητα καθαρα.
The biggest challenge isn't so much finding great gear to fit the various riding conditions, it's paring down all those options to the *minimum* needed for all possible conditions , AND still have room left in one's luggage for all of the other clothing/shoes/boots and camping gear you'd still like to pack for that trip. While it may not be ideal for all riding situations, a bonded Gortex suit (along with base and mid-layers as needed) is probably the single best choice for a multi-week ride. Of course if you're one of those who also pull a motorcycle trailer behind you then, by all means, take the whole closet with you. Speaking of your closet, what do you recommend for a nice waterproof, winter glove this season?
Looks like they're releasing the revised Offtrack 2 soon, will be interesting to see how it shapes up. I personally like that they don't include a back protector because a lot of people will use a standalone protector which work and fit far better (I use a leatt 3df airfit vest which is CE2 chest and back).
Hope we get your take on the Sand 4 suit. I’m seriously looking at it to replace the 15 year old hand-me-down Olympia suit I’ve been wearing (it’s good, but it’s showing it’s age). Thanks!
Has Revitt contacted you about maybe supplying you with Revitt hangers? Using Klim hangers might chafe them a bit. Just spitballing here. Keep up all your amazing work. Hope to see you out in so cal some day!
Hi Ian, I am 179cm tall and weigh 73kg, wearing the Revit Poseidon 3 jacket in a perfect size M. Now, I`m thinking to purchase the Poseidon pants and keen on listening to your advise on which size to go with (I have slightly longer legs, thus usually buying pants that`s short)
@@kyprosellinwn if you come from a mesh jacket is going to be hot, I got used to it and now I feel great. Where I live, you could start with 10 degrees and end with 26-30 degrees (Celsius). In that range I just use the jacket and a t-shirt inside.
@@kyprosellinwn the Defender 3 has improved venting, but nothing like a mesh jacket. I couldn’t recommend you a jacket, because I have never ridden in those conditions.
This is a great review. I have the Cayenne and at 5'9 and 180 lbs, I had to get an XL as well. No way a large would fit. I often pair it with some Klim Technical Riding Pants that are a 34 waist and 31 inch inseam (may be 32). What I like about Rev'It is it is quality gear and SeeSoft armor feels robust. For me, the XL is a perfect fit. I have looked at the Offtrack as something a little more 4-season for the Deep South. This was very helpful! I assume they allow for the liners in the sizing of those jackets with liners?
Good review Ian, if you don't mind, could you please tell us about your OMAD diet, Are you still following it? I have seen your past video on OMAD, which gave me good and practical first-hand information on this topic. I have little concern about sustainability, your input will be helpful. Thanks much.
There is no one set of gear trumps all others. They all have limitations due to environmental conditions. I am the same as Big Rock Guy here. I keep collecting riding gear and can select based on conditions and bike of choice. ( i like to color match).
Wife has Revvit gear because of the tight and good fitting clothes... I prefer the loose fitting Klim and the ability to layer up... I also switch between Gore Tex and Mesh... Now the Klim is giving me the ability for 4 season riding, while the wife does no more than three seasons...
Looking forward to a shootout between your new Sand 4 and the Offtrack once you get some use with them. Agreed on Revit's rain liners, only good for additional cold protection. I carry a Revit Cyclone 3 instead to make life easy.
I don’t see the point of this. My Cayenne 2 is fine down to 70f and my Dominator 2 is fine with all the vents open to 80-85f. Granted the Dominator is expensive.

good review Ian, down under here in NZ and Aussie we have a lot of "Dririder" gear, do you guys have that over there?
Looking cool in the Starbucks parking lot, is important to some riders. Not me.
May I ask what your waist measurement is? I’m assuming your rev’it pants are XL like the jacket?
Ian, I can’t help but notice that’s not an African Twin.

Short answer, no. It was not sustainable. But, I try to eat 2 meals a day within an 8 hour window
