With riders logging serious miles across varying conditions, durable waterproof gloves are necessary. I put Revit’s new Sand 4 H2O gloves through intense testing in the rain, cold temps, and summer heat.
How did these premium motorcycle gloves hold up after hundreds of miles on the road and trail? Will they keep hands dry and protected across three seasons of riding?
But, the main question I will answer in this review will be: Are these the best gloves for all seasons? Read on to see if they passed my demanding tests.

REV’IT! Sand 4 H2O Gloves Verdict: Worth Buying?
After riding for hours in these gloves, I can confidently say they live up to expectations, providing noticeable improvements over the previous Sand 3 model.
They check all the boxes in terms of weather protection, safety features, comfort, and long-term durability. While not inexpensive, the combination of premium protection and all-weather versatility makes them well worth the price, in my opinion.
Putting the Revit Sand 4 H2O to the Test
I’ve logged over 200 miles wearing these gloves in conditions ranging from dry summer heat to cold late-fall rains. Here are some of my impressions after really putting them through their paces:
Covered Pinky and Palm Sliders
Having extra leather coverage on the outer pinky is greatly appreciated. The large palm sliders provide good grip and abrasion resistance without limiting feel.
Snug Fit
These run true to size. I wear a men’s large, and the Revit large fits perfectly without binding while allowing liner layers. The wide hook-and-loop closure helps fine-tune fit.
Waterproof and Breathable
The Hydratex liner blocks wind and moisture surprisingly well. It prevents wet hands from making them feel clammy. I stayed dry in heavier rains.
Excellent Feel and Comfort
The gloves provide a good tactile feel and feedback, while the stretch materials ensure great flexibility. The pre-curved shape offers immediate broken-in comfort with zero break-in period.
Impact Protection Right Where You Need It
The injection-molded knuckles reinforced pinky side and PWR Shell fabric provide impact absorption exactly where they’re most useful. The palm slider is a nice plus for going down.
For riders seeking a highly functional 4-season glove packed with useful features, the Revit Sand 4 H2O stands out as a top pick. I’ll be relying on these for many miles to come!
The Sand 4 H2O is the waterproof touring version of Revit’s popular Sand 4 glove. While the standard Sand 4 leans more toward the ADV category, the H2O offers weather protection for travelers and commuters.
A Closer Look at Materials and Construction
The first thing that stood out is the combination of materials providing both waterproofing and abrasion protection:
- Goat leather palm and pinky reinforcement
- 500D stretch panels on the backhand and fingers
- PWR Shell stretch fabric made of
