- 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.

Just purchased the base and mid layers. Thanks for the good review. Hope things are well my friend. Ride safe!
Super thorough review of the gear .
Good review Mario 👍
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 !!!
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.
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.
Love my Klim, they're price point really gets me looking for other options. Thanks
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 ..
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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?
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?
As an adventure rider, how would you say the ventilation is...at moderate highway speeds to slower adventure riding iver more technical terrain.
May I know the waist measurement in inches and the pants sizes you have. thank you
Good review. For me 5 month ago. How’s the MSR gear holding up? Thanks.
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.
To bad they don't offer more color options. ☺️👍
