Awesome 4 season jacket
This is a very nice high end jacket, seems like a lot of money but it really takes the place of 4 different jackets. The sizing is a bit tricky, I got a medium and it fits perfect with one or no liners in but is a little tight with both liners attached, I feel like the large would be too big. The back protector that comes with the jacket is next to useless but you can buy an awesome upgraded one for 50 bucks. This jacket has more vents than I have ever seen on a jacket, so it can easily be worn in the hottest of conditions. With the thermal liner in you can go down to about 35-40 degrees, below that I would opt for a heated liner, but that is true for any winter jacket. Lots of good color choices as well.

You get what you pay for
Haven't worn this jacket in very much hot weather yet, so I can't comment too much on its ventilation, but it's got big zip vents on the arms, chest, and back, so it should be decent. Quality and finish is top-notch. Doesn't look bad when wearing it around off the bike. I'm 6' 165, long arms, wide shoulders and a medium fits great. A little big in the abdomen area but it's got room for the thermal and waterproof liners underneath and has straps for cinching it up. Doesn't say "rev'it!" too big or in too many places; this alone has prevented me from buying their jackets in the past. It does have the logos plastered everywhere, but they're kind of cool looking and reflective. Protectors in the shoulders and elbows are good; the back one is pretty flimsy and I'll probably have to replace it. I'm purchasing the Hi-Viz vest to go along with it.

Fantastic Jacket
I was looking for a jacket that I could use all year round and found it in the Sand 2. I did a bunch of research before choosing the Sand 2 and was nervous that it was as good as it looked in 'print'. This jacket is a thing of beauty and well built. The attention to detail is impressive.
My one major worry was on airflow with this jacket in the warmer months but with all the liners out and vents all opened up it allows ample air throughout the shell.
I usually wear a medium in jackets and the large fit me spot on. Be sure to check your measurements against the sizing recommendations. Revzilla's sizing tips are on the money (as always).

Great jacket, great style, would recommend to all.
Really happy with this jacket. I'm 6'3" 200lBS 39 Inch chest and I wear a large, great fit. Jacket still has some extra room to fit an additional fleece underneath all the liners for extra warmth. Sleeves come up a bit short when my arms are fully extended forward, but such is the issue with most jackets as I'm a taller rider. Some extra information I was not aware of - the jacket has 2 removable liners. one padded insulated (for warmth) liner and one waterproof membrane layer. There IS NO LOOP for a hydration resovior on the upper right shoulder, as indicated in the video. A call to revzilla verified that it was not included in the shipping design of the jacket.
All in all very happy with the jacket. I would say with all liners in, the jacket would be suitable to highway speeds in 40 Degree weather (the textile mesh really kills wind), remove them an open up your vents and the jacket is great in 80 degree weather. A very versatile jacket, with great arm shoulder and back protection.

Four seasons. One jacket.
As far as sizing goes there's no surprises here if you're familiar with Rev'it's jacket sizes. I'm 6'1" 240 lbs with a 45" chest so I wear XXL.
First of all I live in Louisiana. My primary concern for this jacket was hot weather performance. The amount of airflow through this jacket is well above what I expected for a non-mesh jacket. It can easily be worn up to 80 degrees comfortably. Above that you can add the challenger cooling vest. The lowest temperature I've worn this vest is about 45 degrees. At that temperature I used both the waterproof and thermal liners. It got pretty warm. I could see this jacket being worn into very low temperatures and it's loose enough to wear layers underneath if necessary.
The zippers, straps, and buttons on this jacket are probably the easiest I've ever used with gloves on. You can tell a lot of thought and design went into this.
I would complain about the price of this jacket, but considering this jacket is like 3-in-1, it's hard to. My only real gripe is the back protection. I know it's normal for jackets to not come with real back protectors, but they really should.
Overall I'm not surprised. I've used many Rev'it products and this is just another great addition to the lineup. Definitely recommended.

Great jacket so far
I have had this jacket about a month and so far its been great. I have own it in extreme cold, rain and warm weather already and it had performed well in all three. The jacket has some great features, and is totally adjustable. Its a huge upgrade over the jacket i was wearing.
