I have the jacket and pants in the non A3 version from the current year. Expensive? Yes. However, I only have one skin and these garments are simply the best thing you can have to ride in any weather and stay safe, with heaps of practical storage (although I don’t tend to ride with hard objects in my pockets as they are potential causes of injury in a crash). Buy once, cry once. You’ll never regret this stuff and it’ll only be more expensive next year…

Very thorough review. I came here after watching your AVG K6 S helmet review which I just purchased. That review taught me everything I need to know about it. Keep up the good work!

Great idea showing most of the review of a jacket standing behind a desk.

[@SpeedAddictsTV]

That's why we incorporate closeups of the jacket.

Too much jacket go with the Carlsbad half the price and much lighter. This jacket is for warmer weather I have both

[@maxderror6824]

Did you have the 2022/2023 Badlands model in comparison with the Carlsbad ? Thx

[@SpeedAddictsTV]

The Carlsbad is a good option.
