I have a Klim Latitude Misano jacket that I bought 6 or 7 years ago. It is my go-to do-all Adventure jacket. After so many years and miles it is starting to show its age. I like this MSR stuff, especially considering the price of the better Klim gear. But one feature that I greatly appreciate on my Misano are the pit zips. They don’t put them in the lower spec Klim lines, or in any of the MSR gear either.
I also have a couple of Aerostich jackets (Darian and Falstaff) and both of them have the pit zips too. They help you stay cool when the temps get up there without resorting to inferior protection of mesh gear, and also can be opened in light rain in warm weather.
Thanks for the in depth review guys...
Thanks for watching.
Great review, very helpful
Glad to hear it!
great review guys!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
the vents on the jacket, are some of the best ive ever experienced.. is still have a mesh jacket for summer, but i would use this is much warmer weather than i had anticipated
I agree, the jacket breathes and vents so well I found it comfortable to the low 80s as long as you're moving. Thanks for watching
nice review!
Thanks for watching.
Nice review! Wish it had inner thermal liner and chest protector, larger hip pads as well. Other than that, it's great quality.
Thanks for watching!
Cool new entry, ive always enjoyed klim gear but the top end suits are unaffordable. Went the mosko route but for a full suit this might be the ticket. Great review, thanks.
Yes, we've both been happy with the purchase !
Update, the number one complaint on the jacket is having the arm adjuster at the elbow which prevents full range of motion.. This has been resolved, they moved it to the forearm area.
Good to know. Its positive to hear they are taking critiques and continuing to make a even better product.
My one big issue is that none of the manufacturers have belt loops. I would so much rather have an actual belt than the stupid waist velcro. Only Mosko Moto does this and it's a major factor in their favor for me. Otherwise MSR looks like a far better value than Klim and Touratech, which have really gotten out of hand with their pricing, IMO.
A belt would not be a bad idea, although the velcro works for me. About a year later with this gear, I'm still pleased with it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review - I wasn't aware MSR even had ADV gear and this stuff looks great especially for the cost👍👍
I do love the klim gear I have but I only buy it when it's on sale.😂
Off topic: I'm a CT native and have ridden street & off-road for most of my life but just recently picked up my first ADV bike (2020 1290 SAR). Unfortunately nobody in my riding circle has an ADV bike and was hoping maybe you guys could give me some tips on areas to ride or even show me around. I suffer from MBS and I'm always down for a ride on or off road, let me know!! ✌️
PS: more 1290 videos please!! 😂
We'll keep the adv footage coming its still all new to us as well. Next KTM video will be my graphic install which is currently under way! You'll just have to let your riding buddies take the KTM for a spin, they'll be hooked. For us a lot of state parks have dirt roads or just knowing the area. Look into the "puppy dog trail" that's 320 miles from mass straight north through VT. Ride on.
@@3_AM Cool I look forward to it!! 👍
Yeah that's true, this thing is impressive! I'm pretty stoked and can't wait to rack more miles on it myself. No doubt, I have read about all that stuff and will be doing as much as I can along with the BDR, just hoping to not do it all solo 😂. Hopefully I will be able to influence some more people to join the ADV club 😅.
Also, maybe see you guys at DirtDaze this year. I'm either on a Desert X or a retro looking KTM 500. Last year was nice once the rain finally stopped haha.
That would be cool! We got out once the rain stopped as well!
I've been using the MSR Voyager pants, not as high level as the Explorer gear but its been working well. When temps are up I switch to an armored mesh shirt... I'm considering the Explorer jacket for next season, it would be nice to have a full waterproof riding outfit that I can easily adjust for temperature. Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching. I think you'd be happy with the Explorer jacket.
It sounds like Devon needs a neck gator 😂 Dorkintheroad can help you with that.
It certainly helps in the cold
What size is the bearded guy wearing?
If someone would have told me buying a motorcycle is only half the cost i might not have bothered. Picked up a BN KLR650 22’ for 7400$ and now i need 3500$ in gear…. Not even counting the panniers, racks, plates and stuff like GPS and phone mounts… oh man! Time for another job then no time to ride.
You're not wrong, its an expensive addiction. But, there are worse things! It takes time to acquire all kinds of gear, but it's worth it.
It pays to shop, most brands are grossly over priced, but there are many low cost options if you are willing to hunt for them. I bought all my panniers and gear (helmets, 3 jackets, pants, etc) for under $2500. There is a $100 Apple Play display that uses your phone's GPS and mapping/ directions. No need to buy a dedicated GPS especially since the phone apps work better.
May I know the waist measurement and the pants sizes you have please indicate the color. thank you
Hello, the MSR I'm wearing in the cover photo in the all black are a 32" waist.
Thanks for watching.
What are the physical details of the bearded rider?
Height, weight, waist and size jacket he has on please.
I ask because of similar build.
Thanks
3x Jacket and 42 pants. The pants are very baggy on me. I actually want to reorder a size down. Jacket fits good.
When did you buy it ? I can’t find it on their website, it shows out stock.
I bought mine at the beginning of the year. Hopefully they’ll been in stock soon. Check Amazon as well .
i also heard late January RMATV expects to get a restock.. but that was pushed back from December, so who knows ?
@@3_AMchecked almost everywhere couldn’t find it
@@saltydualsport right, do they have a spot to drop your email to be notified when they’re in stock ?
They are in stock now!
I just got mine yesterday.
enjoyed your video . but i think you need to work on the audio. can barely hear you
Thanks for watching, sorry about that. We forgot the mics in the second half of the video. Audio is always something we're trying to improve.
Armor only Level 1?? Too bad .
great use of the word "ass"
