Sweep Pro Land – soft, flexible and ready for changing weather
A little about Sweep
Sweep is a Finnish brand with several decades of experience in motorcycle equipment. The brand is part of the Finnish company Eurobiker, and its range includes motorcycle suits, gloves, boots and other equipment for both road and off-road riding. Sweep itself highlights product development and experience from motorcycle sport as an important part of the brand’s background.
Pro Land is one of Sweep’s more advanced touring suits and forms part of the brand’s 2026 range. Pro Land has been slightly updated for 2026, as it has been fitted with Sweep’s new Phantom Protector armour and adapted to the company’s new sizing chart.
The suit is CE-certified to Class AA and has a waterproof membrane laminated directly to the outer fabric. This means there is no separate waterproof membrane to fit when the rain arrives.
I tested the suit over a total of three days’ riding, on both a mid-sized adventure bike and a larger cruiser. Conditions varied considerably, from around 9 degrees with a chilly wind to temperatures of approximately 30 degrees, with both sunshine and heavy rain along the way.
As soft as leisurewear
The first thing I noticed was how soft and flexible the suit felt. Many touring suits can be quite substantial and stiff, particularly when new, but the Pro Land felt comfortable from the outset.
The closest comparison I can make is that it feels like wearing soft leisurewear, only with proper motorcycle armour in place. The protectors also felt soft and flexible and remained correctly positioned while riding. This was the case on both the cruiser and the adventure bike.
A fit that worked from the outset
The jacket fitted well across the shoulders and bust and could be adjusted around the hips, allowing me to tailor the fit so that it felt neither baggy nor tight.
The trousers fitted comfortably around the waist and seat and came up slightly higher at the back and waist. I appreciated this, as it reduces the risk of a gap between the jacket and trousers if you choose not to connect the two garments.
There is also a sturdy connecting zip between the jacket and trousers. Even I, who can be a little clumsy with such things, found it easy to join the suit together.
Plenty of room for layers
During the coldest ride, the temperature was around 9 degrees and I needed to wear several layers beneath the jacket. There was plenty of room for them without restricting my movement. The fit provided sufficient space without making the jacket feel too large when I wore fewer layers underneath.
Temperature regulation from 9 to 30 degrees
Pro Land has a fixed Outlast lining, which is temperature-regulating and designed to help even out temperature fluctuations. It is not, however, a removable thermal liner.
I have not previously tested Outlast extensively enough to distinguish between the effect of the lining and that of the ventilation, but the combination worked well throughout the test.
The jacket has ventilation openings on the chest and exhaust vents on the back. The trousers have zipped ventilation openings on the front of the thighs. The vents were easy to open and close, even while wearing gloves.
The waterproof membrane (rated 15k/15k) is laminated directly onto the outer shell fabric, which means all of the suit’s pockets sit behind the waterproof layer. It’s also the reason the ventilation works so well — unlike suits with a traditional fixed inner membrane, there’s no membrane behind the ventilation zips blocking airflow.
Despite my test suit being entirely black, it worked surprisingly well even as the temperature approached 30 degrees. Naturally, it became warm, but not to the point where the suit felt uncomfortable or impractical.
Dry after several hours of torrential rain
After a couple of hours in heavy rain, I was still dry. The outer fabric felt neither heavy nor saturated after the ride, and after hanging the suit up overnight, it was dry enough to use again the following day.
One feature I particularly appreciated in cooler conditions was the removable storm collar.
Few things bother me more than cold air finding its way down the back of my neck on a chilly day, and the collar made a noticeable difference. It attaches easily with magnets and almost falls into place by itself. It is a small but clever feature, and solutions like this can make all the difference to comfort on a cold and windy day.
Pockets and practical details
The jacket pockets worked well, although they are not particularly deep. My mobile phone fitted without any problem, but there was not enough room to comfortably carry both my phone and wallet in the same pocket.
I solved this by dividing them between the two pockets, which worked perfectly well.
Worth noting: the velcro tabs inside the jacket are actually designed for optional chest protectors — but if you don’t plan to use chest protectors, they work just as well as regular internal pockets.
The cuffs were easy to adjust and could be tightened as required. It was also simple to choose whether to wear the gloves over or beneath the sleeves, depending on the weather, temperature and personal preference.
The waist adjustment also worked well, and the zips for the pockets and ventilation were easy to operate while wearing gloves.
Equally comfortable sitting and standing
The suit worked well on both motorcycles used during the test.
On the adventure bike, it provided enough freedom of movement while standing on the footpegs. On the cruiser, where the riding position was more relaxed and seated, the armour remained correctly positioned and nothing pulled or restricted my movement.
It is precisely this combination of softness and stability that I consider the suit’s greatest strength. You do not have to choose between comfort and functionality.
Overall verdict
Sweep Pro Land performed extremely well in the conditions in which I tested it. It remained comfortable in both genuinely chilly and intensely hot weather, kept me dry during a couple of hours of riding in torrential rain and worked equally well on an adventure bike and a larger cruiser.
What I appreciate most is how soft, lightweight and flexible the suit feels. Despite its Level 2 armour, laminated membrane and numerous practical features, it never feels heavy or stiff.
There was also plenty of room for additional layers on colder days without making me feel like a Michelin Man wrapped in textile.
My only real criticism is that the jacket pockets could have been slightly deeper, and even that is a fairly minor point. Otherwise, I find it difficult to identify anything genuinely negative.
This suit is aimed at riders looking for a soft and flexible touring suit that can be used in changing weather, while still providing proper armour, ventilation and well-considered practical features. Based on my experience, it offers a great deal for the money and is a strong all-round option for both longer tours and everyday riding — and with a matching men’s version is also available.
