The word “sand” evokes visions of the desert, warm beaches, and perhaps racing across dunes in the Dakar Rally.

All those locations have one thing in common: heat. So why does the Sand 3 suit come with separate waterproof and thermal liners and provisions for more add-ons? Easy. Versatility is the name of the game.
Having spent six days, every week, all summer long in the Sand 3 suit, I’ve gotten to know and appreciate its features. While the jacket and pants excel in low to medium temperatures, the gloves* take the cake in medium and hot weather.
The Sand 3 jacket in Large fits my 6'2" frame perfectly, roomy enough to bundle up in cold weather but snug enough to fit properly in the summer. All external pockets on the jacket are large enough to access while wearing gloves, but the various internal shell- and liner mounted pockets are smaller to fit wallets or cell phones. For storing gloves or other thin, lightweight necessities, the rear pouch is perfect. While it’s a personal preference, my favorite characteristic of this jacket is the tasteful use of buttons where others might use Velcro. I have other jackets with Velcro so worn that the Velcro tore out and had to be replaced with buttons.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS
It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES
Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
