For the last few months I've been testing the MSR Xplorer ADV riding gear. I've tested the jacket, pants, gloves, mid layers and base layers. In this video I break down all the features, sizing, and tell you how well it worked for me in all sorts of weather and riding conditions.

Nicely done gentlemen, I’ve had the jacket for a little over a year and really like it. I’m thinking about picking up the pants but I’m on the fence as I have a pair of Klim jeans that I really like and I don’t want to shelf those.

@jimtrachta1927 Год назад

Looks like something I will check out but I am very happy with the vents on my Klim Bad Lands jacket and pants... Yes I paid a lot... but it keeps me cool up to about 85... after that I go to the mesh... Great review as always... Keep up the great work !!!

@jerryandjamie2up Год назад

Just purchased the base and mid layers. Thanks for the good review. Hope things are well my friend. Ride safe!

@pinkiewerewolf Год назад

Super thorough review of the gear . When my Klim Badlands runs it's course I'm definitely going to give the MSR Explorer gear a shot.

@ron5184 Год назад

Excellent, been hesitant to spend the money on the Carlsbad because of the heat here in Fl as it would most likely only get worn while touring. The price point on the MSR gear is doable. The bladder pocket has really got me interested for the UTBDR trip. I will probably be sporting at least the jacket in September. Great review!

@jeman022004 Год назад

I don’t know how you handle ATGATT in FL. I had a difficult time wearing it when I came down last Winter.

@ron5184 Год назад

@@jeman022004 I'm definitely not an ATGATT rider when just riding around home. But when I hit the road I am. Ya just got to suck it up.

@st44455 7 месяцев назад

I have the same MSR gear. Ridden it in torrential downpours, hail, just above freezing, and have remained warm and dry. Only complaint is I wish the arms were just tad longer. I’m 6 foot and wear large. Overall, excellent and recommend.

@Road_Rash1 Год назад

Nice review. All the reviews I've seen on this product has been favorable. Kudos to MSR for helping out the wallets of riders! Klim is the pinnacle of gear. I won't take my Latitude stuff off road any more as I bought if for touring and cleaning it is a bit of a pain. May have to jump into some MSR gear for future adventure/travel! Brian makes a really good model. Side hustle opportunity!

@2WR Год назад

Brian is very proud of his modeling.

@TheBoyers Год назад

hahah Thanks Jeff!

@hunkyleepickle Год назад

i'd like an adv pant with a little extra venting at the lower legs, other than that its a great value for high quality stuff. And yes, Klim pricing is getting stratospheric, my Kodiak jacket/pants were almost 500$ cheaper than the current generation, would definitely look at alternatives if i was shopping again.

@2WR Год назад

My guess is there aren't many companies putting ventilation in the lower leg because enduro boots are so tall they've have basically no impact on cooling. Like I commented on someone else's I was surprised how much Klim prices have gone up since I bought mine.

@saltydualsport 11 месяцев назад

Great review. I’ve had my set for one season , and I love them .. my critiques of the jacket are: water bladder holder is pretty useless as it pulls the jacket back, (maybe if you have 1 liter or less it would be ok).. on my xl, the neck opening is a bit too big I think . I wish the front lower pockets had a zipper, but in reality, the Velcro is dang good and prob don’t need it. People complain about the elbow pinching but it doesn’t bother me personally .. the vents on these things is phenomenal, I would ride up to 80 ish in these .. have mesh for warmer tho, those are more my water proof setup .. as of sept 23 these are harder to find, I don’t thing MSR made enough for the demand , very glad I picked mine up when I did . So hope they start stocking these again. Best.

@chillyinalberta 10 месяцев назад

Great review man. If you ever had the chance to try the klim overshell system I know people would love to see a review on that their isn't much out there.

@Myboybrute Год назад

Love my Klim, they're price point really gets me looking for other options. Thanks

@2WR Год назад

I was surprised how much the price had gone up since i bought mine stuff. Didn't realize it until I was doing research for this video

@wallypetersen8585 7 месяцев назад

Just saw your Great review! I’m about the same size as you 5’11” 200# 32” inseam and was planning on buying the Carlsbad setup, but it cuts me at the armpits, just a little too tight with a large and XL too bulky. Since you had the large Carlsbad and Xplorer I would really appreciate your take on how the jackets compare in relation to fit in the chest and armpit areas! Keep the great vids coming! I’m riding the ‘22 KTM 890R too Thanks for the help

@2WR 7 месяцев назад

So we're a little different in size, I'm only 5'10" and fluctuate in weight fro 175-180lbs. While we both share a 32" inseam (for reference) my chest measurement is 42.5" while my waist is 31". I find both (in large) fit me fine in the chest/armpit area. My issue with the Carlsbad is it's so boxy/wide below the chest area while the MSR allows me to cinch things in. If you are between sizes and ride in the cold at all, I would size up to allow room for extra layers. My most recent trip got quite cold. I had room to wear mutiple layers under my MSR gear.

@ianferrier235 Год назад

Good review Mario 👍

@jeman022004 Год назад

Great review. I went down on gravel with my Klim Carlsbad and they held up well. I don’t wish that on anyone, but we have no way of knowing how they hold up unless standardized testing comes out. As consumers all we see is material is made of “cordera/Kevlar” etc. I want to see a video of someone sliding across gravel. Did we just give Brian a promotion to Test Dummy?

@TheBoyers Год назад

We have Pete for test dummy on crashes and I'd hate to ever take his job since he's so good at it lol

@onemileattatime2642 Год назад

As an adventure rider, how would you say the ventilation is...at moderate highway speeds to slower adventure riding iver more technical terrain. This is quite a subjective question, sure. I am looking at new/upgraded gear trying to deside at what point a full mesh type gear is needed over something like this MSR especially with this gear being Waterproof; and mesh gear would require another separate layer

@2WR Год назад

I don’t care what gear it is, it always vents better at higher speeds. I was just out riding gravel and dirt today and its low 80s. Never got sweaty. When it gets really hot, I go to my Moto gear and even it only flows so well.

@4940markhutchins 8 месяцев назад

I’m hard to fit at 6’5” 230 i lbs, motorcycle jacket sizes are wildly inconsistent, so I have to try them on first. Seems this jacket looks tight across the chest and generous across the gut, which is a turnoff. No excuse for not trying them on since I live 20 min from the Rocky Mountain ATV place in Utah, so I’m gonna do that tomorrow.

@2WR 8 месяцев назад

I have a 42.5" chest and 31" waist so most jackets will look that way on me. Agreed best thing do to is try them on for size.

@ADONGventures 6 месяцев назад

May I know the waist measurement in inches and the pants sizes you have. thank you

@loloverland 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for the review. About the pant size 32, 32 regular or 32 tall? Does the pant get shorter when you sit on the bike and have the knees bent?

@andrewcox7614 9 месяцев назад

Good review. For me 5 month ago. How’s the MSR gear holding up? Thanks.

@2WR 9 месяцев назад

Was actually considering doing an update video on the MSR gear after all the hell I’ve put it thru on the ADV rides and this most recent trip. It’s been great!

@kevinsterner9490 Год назад

I bought the jacket and love it. KLIM is over priced. But that’s how they pay for all the advertising and marketing they do.

@allenr265 4 месяца назад

To bad they don't offer more color options. ☺️👍

@MrSliim280 Год назад

call back the rmatvmc guys and tell them you need it in a 3x lol. this gear has been in my cart for weeks just waiting for me to pull the trigger on.

@2WR Год назад

Pull the trigger. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

@neilbpence Год назад

Klim is great, but I couldn't find my size and finally gave up. This looks like a great option.

@2WR Год назад

I ended up going with Alpinestars years ago because Klim didn't have my size for months.

@brucemonighan2925 8 месяцев назад

Cant touh it, can try it onnbecuase it is not in any stores. Free return shiping not avialable if you dont like it, only free if it doesnt fit and you exchange it.
