There are few issues I like greater than off-road riding. Bikes and grime? Chef’s kiss. It is the right mixture, like peanut butter and jelly.
I might relatively experience off-road in comparison with the road 9 instances out of ten, as grime is extra enjoyable, extra forgiving, you get to see extra sights, and there are fewer distracted drivers squarely geared toward working you over. There’s additionally simply nothing prefer it if you begin using in wild locations just like the backcountry trails and tracks I’ve present in my new-found residence state of Utah.
But when you are going to exit using and shredding mud, sand, grime, rocks, and tree-lined trails, you need good gear. Gear that’ll stand as much as you slipping in some mud puddles, crashing into small or giant bushes, and getting scraped alongside rocky paths. Gear that’ll get you residence even after you needed to “lay her down.” And that is what REV’IT!’s new Sand 5 journey jacket is designed to do.
To get you residence.
