REVIT Tornado 3 Jacket

The Tornado 3 jacket is billed as a lightweight summer adventure jacket, with benefits. And that it is. But those benefits extent well beyond piloting a burly ADV bike through the backcountry. In fact, the Tornado 3 is one of the better looking and more functional city summer jackets we’ve come across.  This jacket is the 3rd edition of the Tornado line from REVIT, our favorite Dutch adventure apparel company, and 3rd time is proving to be the charm. The basic outline remains the same—a rugged 3-season shell with a zip-out, full-sleeve liner that provides both warmth and waterproofing. In this latest installment, the internal liner can be worn on its own as a passable destination layer. It’s (almost!) 100% functional as a casual piece, less two small vestigial zippers on the front of the jacket. Totally legit for campsite use, or on its own, among friends, who will only mildly rib you for two random chest zippers. But the real benefit of the Tornado is its wide gauge mesh outer panels
