Like any brand, it depends on the model within the brand (yeah, it shouldn't, but it does). The cheap stuff in any brand is not worth looking at (unless the brand only makes expensive stuff, in which case their "cheap" isn't).
I've been using Revit for years, probably since 2008 ish (or perhaps earlier). 2 pairs of pants (Proton and Sand), 3 jackets (Expedition, Off Track, Defender GTX). I loved the Off Track jacket, that did have the removable side panels, tough material, took a couple of hard hits and is still good (not waterproof). I didn't bother using the rain liner for that purpose (mainly colder weather) as having the outside wet made the jacket colder and heavier, so instead use a rain jacket over the top (which is also easily replaceable when it wears out).
I tried upgrading my country jacket to the Defender, made of lighter weight fabric and has goretex, but it doesn't vent as well during summer but is brilliant in wet weather. With the lighter thinner fabric it also didn't take hits very well, and putting one elbow into stones and gravel ripped a 3 sided flap on the forearm.
Pros and cons and probably going to stick to their Sand adventure range, not cheap, but has thicker fabric etc. Want to see if there is a Sand 3 soon...
