Very funny video! I went for the Halvarsons Oman, jacket and trousers, just tested the waterproof by riding off road in the British rain all day yesterday, outer shell got wet but not one drop inside on my shorts, (wasn't cold enough for the removable thermal layer) super impressed with the suit. Waterproof layer also comes out for the really hot weather. Great adventure suit.....Surprised a Swedish man like yourself isn't wearing one!😉😆
Thanks for the tips, and nice to hear it works :) I guess i am just too much of a barbie doll to wear the same dress all the time :). I like to change stuff and with layers it becomes much cheaper and more options.
Very good your personality gear demonstration, the best and the worst, at this moment I have more information about what I need to buy. Tanks and stay healthy.
Thank you for the nice video! I ride now for 9 years with the Rev’It Defender GTX, 3 layers all in one adventure gear with goretex layer. Use in winter and summer, went every year to Norway with it, sit ALWAYS on my knees in gravel etc and somehow it never let one 💧 of rain through it and is very sturdy. After 130000km’s one zipper got damaged. Just to share you another option... like your content! Thanks again and 🍻
Suggestion: consider Helly Hansen's sailing/rain gear for jacket. I bought one of their jackets for cycling and was very pleased. Of course they don't have pants, but they do make top notch and stylish stuff!
@@NomadSweden tell me about it. 60 in a couple of weeks. Just got into mtb (mountain biking). First time i have taken bicycles seriously since.i was a teenager and before i had discovered beer.
Good video thanks Robert, I might give the Knox armour a try. My 3 hour ride in the wind and rain today told me that my 9yr old Klim trousers now leak, my 9yr old Forma boots leak and my trusty Rukka jacket wets out badly...oh and my gloves are useless!! Time for new gear and maybe a new system of gear....ps...what are the green trousers you are wearing...? Cheers, Steve
@@NomadSweden definitely liked the honest review of the gear. I was keeping my fingers crossed for the husqvarna gear but, well, it is what is is. Do you have any recomendarion/experience for the riding clothing used in the cold days (around 0°C)?
@@sorin.n I actually use the Husqvarna because while not water tight for long time, it's the most wind proof kit I have next to rain jacket. Under that I have at least 3 layers. I don't usually go distances in that temp, but try ride actively on gravel etc.
Hej. I have a Hein Gericke Tuareg Rallye GTX II - it is not the lightest or sharpest looking gear out there, but it has a removable Gore-Tex lining and is the only motorcycle gear I have found to be actually waterproof (even when you get that pool of water in your crotch :D). I bought it a few years ago in the UK at half price - Hein Gericke are no longer present in the UK, but having the Gore-Tex on the inside is a winner in terms of durability of the waterproofing. It isn't the lightest and the outer jacket and pants do get soaked through, but I like it. Because I'm dry, and it was half price! I've been enjoying the videos - keep up the good work, and take care out there, Russ
@@NomadSweden It's funny when I think about it, there are lots of things which I don't like so much about the Hein Gericke suit, but a few years in it's still what I wear a majority of the time as it's fairly good at most things. I do really like that the jacket zips to the trousers so they don't fall down or feel heavy - and there's a crotch strap thing to stop the jacket riding up if I should go sliding down the road. I have similar hiking gear - not my favourite if I choose with my heart, but so good all-round it's what I end up wearing most of the time.
Hi Robert. Long time subscriber… first time commenting. Like your videos and sense of humor a lot. 2 questions about the leatt gear. 1) How tall are you and what size did you take? 2) Do you think it will protect against a pavement slide (I know you have the knox, but I have the leatt airfit lite which does not have abrasion resistance)
Hi there and thanks! The Leatt will not hold up for a pavement slide. I managed to make hole in the pants in the 4 falls I did this spring. So you need protection under. Still love the lightness of it. I am 180cm and 86kg. Cheers
Great video!.. You got me with the monkey 🤣.. And dam you are flexible for a 50 year old dude!.. We might have some common interest that we haven't discussed 🤔🤣.. I have the Gotland adv sixtorp set.. Waterproof for the most.. Only your feed will be wet every time you ride in the rain due to the pants going inside.. 🇸🇪. See you out there 🌲🔥🌲
Hi Arne! I'll never stop doing Taekwondo because now is when I need it the most :) (Getting on rain pants is no joke). Glad you noticed the two monkeys in this video. See you around!
@@NomadSweden 🤣.. When I was a kid I did karate.. And when my son stared with karate I stared some old man Systema training.. I can't find the time now, bud I'm a big fan of MMA and next weekend we will go for a BBJ tournament 💪😁
Just got a pair of Toucan boots a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for the advice, it’s good to know in advance that if I submerge them in water I’m screwed....could be a game changer on a long tour. P.S. favourite animal? The cool squirrel at the end😁 genius, loved it!
I bought the Toucan about 2 weeks ago as well. They are bit wider than the Sidi Adventure 2 and fitting better to my feets. Good to know from Robert, that he drives them all year round.
Another great video, Robert....always appreciate the humor! I am due to upgrade most of my gear, so this comes at a good time for me. Never seriously considered protection worn next to the skin...something to think about! Curious what you do with the hood of that rubber raincoat, seems kinda bulky to have inside your helmet, but would likely catch a lot of water on the outside? Never heard of the brands of helmets you are wearing, but just loving the Alpinestar boots I bought earlier this year! Ride safe....we don't have much time left in our riding season!
Thanks for the feedback Allen! The hood, I pull the strings so the hoodie comes in close to my neck. The hoodie then protects a bit from neck-chill also. The season ends when you say so :)
Thanks for another nice clip! I didn’t get the name of your armoured jacket and can’t see any link either. A tip where to get the jacket in sweden would be nice as well.
Hey very nice vid, ive started to watching you because i'm about to buy Tenere 700 myself. i was wondering if u can recommend any backpack, preferably waterproof. Thanks. Subbed ! :D
In that first 30sec l was not shure which one who was the swedish one🤔😀 love the humor. Have you tryed out Halvorssons clothing? Never got wet in that gear.
Great video, as always! Couple of questions: 1. I’m looking to get new riding gear soon and I have been looking at both 3in1 one jackets/pants like revit sand3 and other options like your Leatt 5.5 that acquires me to “build my own layers” so to speak. Do you have any experience/thoughts on 3in1 garments vs making your own layers? 2. What sizes do you have on your Leatt gear? And what size are you.... regarding hight and weight that is? No need for any other info regarding that 🙃 Thanks!
Hi there, 1. Having the water-protection on the inside is ok in winter when it's cold and you want it in all the time. But in the summer you will ride without it. So when it rains, you need to take the jacket off. That's the downside I think. Having the protection in the jacket/pants is very convenient but the protection sits a little looser on your body than with separate armor. Pros/cons :) But if I got a all-in-one jacket, then I would go for waterproof outer shell. 2. I wear Large size on all bike gear. 180cm/86kg.
I got the same Nexx helmet for the price it is good, but what I dont like is it squeezing like a crap :D visor locks can be easily unlocked by accident... Do you like that Xcom intercom? I nearly bought it but then I returned it and went for Tour interphone, because it has a lot bigger battery life...
Nexx fit my melon head pretty well. The locks has opened by accident so I agree. The intercom has good battery (10hrs+) but it is a very old technology. Better to buy a separate intercom.
Love the video! I'm looking for a similar setup from Leatt but I'm not able to try the fit in my country (Croatia). Would you please be so kind and tell us the size of the jacket and pants and at least your height, that would help a lot. Thanks!
don't get waterproof adv boots, get non waterproof boot. And wear knee high or high calf waterproof socks. The boots will dry faster when the boots get submerged on a water crossing. your feet stay dry and the boot will dry faster and naturally.
@@NomadSweden Any one that push waterproof and goretex adv boots are just upselling you. They have no clue to be honest about the needs of a real adv rider. The wp adv boots are for gs rider that live on the highway TBH. Only goretex boots I own are for sport touring.
@@NomadSweden Thanks for your reply. I will look into the Knox kit, it looks good for summer too. One piece of kit which you inspired me to buy that may surprise you is the Merrell shoes you wore in your ADV Burger video. They are so light and compact. Perfect to pack in soft luggage for a trip...so thanks! 👍😊
@@darrenoconnor3402 Haha yes they are perfect in summer and take no space at all. The Knox is fantastic in summer since it's mesh and can be worn without anything else. (Allthough I recommend a t-shirt underneath to avoid a funny sun tan :)
Swedish company. But they have stores in other countries I think. www.revolutionrace.se/herr/byxor/frilufts-vandringsbyxor/silence-pro-pants-men?Color=2851
Could you please suggest which one to choose and why 1. Likes of Revit Dominators GTX - big dollars 2. Jackets such as Hit-Air or Helite with integrated safety airbag 3. Mid range 200-400$ range coupled with separate airbag vests Also a basic question, while riders these days are opting for big dollar jackets yet I don't see much interest in airbag jackets? Were airbag jackets a fad that died down already?
En ny dum fråga 🤪 Jagar ett par alpinestars toucan. Men är slut överallt i området där jag bor. Kan tyvärr då inte prova några. Så frågan är ska man gå upp en storlek. Har normalt 44 storlek dessa finns i 44,5 eller ska man gå upp till 45,5?
I always enjoy your videos. You have a great sense of humor.
What, no Elephant in the room! 😉😂 Great video again, enjoying your sense of humour. 😁👍

French tet would be awesome.
Tack Robert för testet av Gotland. Jag ska kolla på den icke vattentäta efter denna film. Sparade mig mycket pengar
For the water boot.issue... Heat couple.of rocks for an hour or so, drop itin ur shoes before u go to.sleep, n see the difference in the mrng...
Thanks for the tip!
I recommend a peat shoe dryer. Put your boots on it after riding, dry in a few hours. Less stink! They also make a travel version.
Yeah it's the travel drying which is the problem.
