Advice & Guides If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
Customers have consistently praised this motorcycle jacket for its exceptional comfort and breathability, noting that it offers a lightweight feel while maintaining full protection. While it's more expensive, many agree the quality and durability justify the cost. The jacket's stretch material and generous sizing enhance fit, allowing room for layering, making it versatile for varying climates. Customers have also highlighted the excellent construction, handy pockets, and stylish look, making it an ideal choice for all-year usage.
I bought this medium size jacket for use over the summer months so not been used just yet, but i can say it is a comfortable jacket and fits me really well size wise, I'm a UK medium 38/40 chest size. Roll on the summer months
It's true what they say, it really is a comfortable jacket, love the movement the material allows. I normally take a 48" chest (2XL) but in this jacket the XL fits better.
I normally ride in Badlands Pro and so am comparing this against that.
The stretch material makes this jacket (and trousers) very comfortable. Although I would like to see the bottom hem made stretch also as it limits the rest of the jacket. It would also have been nice to have a joining of some sort.
In the very high temperatures > 30 celcius then while you can feel airflow it's not as much as a full mesh (Had a Rukka AFT for a while) but still more than the vents on a badlands allow. This isn't a jacket for extremes of temperature but for being very adaptable in the middle where conditions are changeable.
This jacket is actually more of an all rounder than just a summer garment . Probably not as cool as a full on mesh jacket but not a one trick pony like mesh, which is not much use other than in very hot conditions. The Klim can be used year round by layering up underneath and wearing a rain jacket over when needed. Sizing is American and fit is generous so try before you buy. Plenty of pockets, extremely comfortable and excellent quality which it should be at the price. The Asphalt colour looks great in the flesh and is a good alternative to the black and light grey offerings.
Only used the jacket once but extremely comfortable, light to wear and lets plenty of air through to keep cool. Definitely worth considering if looking for a mesh jacket that can also stretch to those days are are warm but not boiling.
SportsBikeShop delivered excellent service as usual.
Possibly the best fitting jacket I have ever had, I struggle as I'm built like a silver back!! Yes it's slightly more expensive but you get what pay for, infact you get much more than you expect.
The service I received in the store was just the best ever, nothing was too much trouble and trust me I'm trouble!!!
SBS will be my first port of call for anything bike related from now on
This is a really high quality jacket which is good for Spring-Autumn seasons. It's not as cool as a mesh jacket but offers considerably more protection and probably the best compromise you can get for a warm weather jacket. Beware sizing. It's American so sizes come up larger than Eu brands. I am always a 45' XL but that was like a tent on me. SBS swapped it with no fuss for a L which is a good fit. Note it has a stretch type of material so fits well.
Being a hot week and having a few long day's in the saddle planned my Badlands Pro jacket was looking very hot and heavy so I went for this.
It's packed full of the expected D30 armour, back, shoulders and elbows. and has 4 very good pockets on the outside so easy access, one pocket inside that also has a headphones lead hole.
Whilst it doesn't look like a mesh jacket. more like a regular material, it lets the air flow really nicely, not too much - just enough.
I have decided that I'll use it when the temp is 20 and upwards and carry a mid layer just in case it drops below.
Highly recommended.
Bought for ventilation, safety and fit, this jacket has all three in abundance. The snug (but not tight) fit means the plentiful volume of air that gets through the jacket material gets straight to your skin to keep you cool. It comes with D3O protection as standard for the elbows, shoulders and back for direct impact and 1000 deniers cordura outer material for abrasion resistance. A great summer jacket.
I wanted a cooler 'mesh' jacket with good protection so that I could use it full time. Many of the mesh jackets are only safe to a low speed. It was between the Marrakesh or Rukka Forsair and the Klim was comfier and fitted much better. It also came with a spine protector and was cheaper, so happy days. It is not as cool as a lighter vent jacket, but you can definitely feel a breeze at higher speeds. Much cooler than my old winter jacket.
Riding for over 35 years and this is by far the most comfortable jacket ever. You really do get what you pay for, feels very well made and have already had a few comments on how good it looks. Have ridden in plus 25 and lets just enough air through to keep you cool, bought alongside a Revit layer jacket and is perfect down to about 10 degrees, and if it rains I just put a waterproof layer on top. A perfect system for me
Great balance of protection and comfort.
Super Service and advice for the lads.
No problem recommending SportsBikeShop
Superb summer jacket that looks more like a casual jacket than an armoured motorcycle jacket. It's stretchy so fits extremely well, best fit of any motorcycle jacket I have had, so make sure you get your true size. Feels light and not heavy and the D30 armour is well placed for comfort. The air flows really well through it so on colder days or for high mileage days you may need a layer extra underneath . The high vis panels are not garish and in your face. A good number of pockets, all of which are useable. Overall a very comfy practical jacket that gives you the feeling of safety without the weight and bulk associated with the usual motorcycle jackets. Defo a must buy if you want a summer jacket.
Most comfortable motorcycle jacket I've ever owned due to stretch material, + AA rated, perfect for British summers, not as breathable as some, but I think this is the Marrakesh's ace, easily cool enough in our hotter weather, but with the right base layer or a waterproof useable all year round
