Revit dirt + urbane pro mkii for onroad/light offroad or protectorvest for heavy offroad. Ideal as rain/camp/hike jacket. This has been the simple killer multifunctional combo last few years.
One design key these jackets can take from the First Gear jacket is the taller collar. It keeps wind and rain from entering at the neck. This is something I look for in any new ADV jacket.
It would be great if we could actually buy some of this gear. I've been trying to buy the Xplorer Jacket and pants since June, 2XL jacket and XL pants.
The Xplorer gear sold out much faster than we thought, but we are hoping to have more here after the holidays. We're sorry you have to wait but trust us, it's worth it! If you click the "email when available" button on the product page, you'll be notified as soon as its back in stock. Thanks!
I ride adventure bikes at the top of the world in Scandinavia. It rains, snows & there are northwinds. My choice is Klim Carlsbad(spring/summer)& Badlands pro(autumn, winter) Not perfect but does a Good enough job. Pros: Sizing( fits ‘viking sized’ pple well) various Colours, waterproofing, protection, plenty of pockets, kidney belt & plenty of vents for those rare sunny days, Cons: Zipps are reversed on the 2 jackets, Badlands Pro can feel bagy, stiff & heavy at times, zip on the lower arms openes under riding at times…Tried Rev It to small & tight, does not have option for ‘Viking sized’ persons
Can you guys do a recommended video for more dualsport-enduro riders? Similar to rev-its' eclipse jacket line? Love my eclipse (3xl) but my chest and arms has gotten to large for it since I started building muscle.
The Held Corese evo,is far superior jacket to these and cheaper except for the tour master they do make great value stuff. I use their electric vest under my Held. Just my 2 cents worth,
Hey Guys, You really should consider AFT Air Adventure Jacket by Modeka! A serious 3 1/2 seasons Jacket; maybe it also works on hot days but I didnt test it jet - for everything else it is superb. There is one trick it has: you can leave one inner Jacke inside but wear it only in the back, so, if it gets colder you can real quick take off the jacket and put it on regular So you can switch real quick when weather conditions change and you dont have to worry zipping jackets in and out. Seems to be little thing but for me it was a game changer. The quality of the jacket is excellent!
Forget all of these weird-looking ones and try BMW’s collection. I am wearing the Enduroguard suit (unfortunately discontinued) right now while exploring the Big Bend. I also love the Ralley Pro suit by BMW, which I wore in the summer and did CA BDR.
I wish more adv jackets came with the ability to have chest armor. I get that that's not a common area of impact on the street, but smacking your chest on the handlebars/GPS/windsreen/rocks/sticks is a pretty common thing off road. Wouldn't kill them to put a couple armor pockets in there.
The last KLIM suit is literally for some serious money-don’t-matter kind of guy 😂. Also when you pay for over 1k$ suite you get into a level of branding already.
I have a Carlsbad jacket and pants for coming up two years and 20,000km but 1 year of that was in lockdown so realistically only 1 season of riding. Performing well from the cold wer south in Tasmania to the steamy humid heat of far North Queensland but there annoying things like the reflective flashing is pealing off the jacket and there’s too much exposed hook n loop that snags other parts of the jacket so it’s looking a little frayed for a jacket that’s not too old.
We are hoping to have it back in stock by the end of the year. It sold out much faster than we anticipated which is both good and bad! But trust us, it's worth the wait.
I don’t have a dog in the fight as I don’t own Klim or any adventure gear but as someone who is looking at getting my first set of gear, I agree. There is zero chance Klim gear is worth 2-4 times the price of other brands. It to me also seems as a road block. When I first started to explore the idea of going adventure style after 2 decades of cruiser or sport, the only brands I could find were brands like Klim. Mostly cause they seem to have a very large influence. Places like RU-vid and Revzilla open up so many doors and options
I felt that way too, and then I started using Klim gear now I have Baja s4 and the Badlands pro I don’t think I’ll ever wear them out. If I crash them Klim will replace it for life. Buy once cry once.
