[@firebladedan1]

Exactly the same set up I've been using for over a year now, it is by far the most comfortable riding jacket ever! Did Austria and Switzerland with it last year and with the thin windproof underneath it was ideal when the temperature drops up in the mountains. Back down and into the 20s just remove your inner jacket, the best set up i've ever found for touring, bonus is that your waterproof and windproof fold away to almost nothing for packing away

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up Danny, it's a really versatile jacket, what do you wear on your legs ?

[@Geshmaal]

I think it's an interesting idea to have a system where you build up different layers to get a functional year-round outfit, I think it's a decent solution for touring in the summer but it is also nice to just throw on a jacket and be ready for most eventualities. I managed to get a Halvarssons Walkyr for £250 this year which is just stunning value for a laminate jacket, I accept it has some downsides but as something to throw on and be good to go on the bike it's great. I think for my next set of riding gear I'll be looking for stuff that I can wear on and off the bike with similar levels of comfort, so possibly the Marrakesh jacket and Klim's Outrider or Switchback trousers. My Walkyr/Wish combo is great if I'm firmly planted in the rider's seat for hours at a time, but for getting on and off to take photos of scenery or going for a hike at a destination they have me pouring buckets of sweat...

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up Geshmaal, just got back from 5 days touring Scotland, the marakesh jacket performed brilliant, average temp was 23 degrees, I combined it with my John Doe stretch combat pants, it was a delight to ride 1400 miles in, I had taken my Scott waterproofs but didn't need them, I've never been so comfortable on a tour, well worth, I'll be doing a review on the pants soon 👍, thanks for dropping a comment, ride safe, Simon B 👍

One jacket will do all - as long as you buy another 2 or 3 jackets to go with it. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey up tsport, I can see your point 😁, but a lot ride only when it's warm, most would have a waterproof outer to use and when you buy the outer and a inner, it's cost less than a rukka and it's comfier and more versatile, win win, thanks for dropping a comment, ride safe Simon B

[@jcollins2826]

This is a good video Simon. Excellent review. But, TSport has a point. I’ve seems a handful of videos on this jacket and each describes the use of other products to make a system for any specific condition. The thing is, the same can be said for any mesh jacket with armor. Supplement with a vest or down jacket for warmth, add wind stop or rain gear on top etc. I do like the stretch feature, but I’m skeptical about airflow compared to a traditional open mesh like a simple Rev’it mesh. KLIM generally has excellent quality, and the level 2 rating is a big plus. Overall, I think the sales pitch is less about other products that make this product good, and more about a good (not great) airflow but with comfortable wear, good quality and a higher level of safety.

[@richardahola692]

I wear my mesh year around. Add a windoroof jacket under when it gets cool and a puffer jacket when a little colder. Rain jacket over mesh for rain or very cold with everything under.

Been watching the chap woth the cap from motolgends and he has really made me rethink about riding gear. They recommended the Klim jacket to me. I think you've convinced me that this is definitely the way to go. I'm a fair weather rider, but as you know in the UK you can't avoid the rain or the cold. As I don't like to ride in the rain it just seems silly to have a super gortex laminate. The Scot jacket just makes so much sense as, like the Rab it packs down so you can carry a complete solution around with you all the time. Great vid, I feel confident in going for this set up now.

Great review, I bought the new Klim Resilience 2 weeks ago which is a mid layer, been wearing a Klim tshirt then the Resilience then a Klim Dakar jersey over the top as it is just coming into our winter at the moment. Ive been tossing up between the Inductiin and the Marrakesh for commuting/ dual sporting. Love your idea of the duck down as I have one whick very rarely gets used. You have made me decide on the Marrakesh. I think with layers I will be able to ride in all seasons here. Also the Marrakesh will look the goods on the KLR and the Indian scout bobber. Love your personality and enthusiasm. Thanks for the review, be safe brother.

Amazingly I went to Motolegends and bought that exact jacket for the hot weather, served by Sarah Chrises wife. Having arrived in a full Halvarsen jacket and trousers and Forma boots. So wearing the Klim I said well I need jeans then Sidi said Sarah, so then wearing them Falco Ranger boots were next on. Chris then fitted hip protectors in the jeans, they then packed up my Halvarsen kit and Forma boots and had them couriered to Basingstoke the next day free of charge. I will not buy clothing or helmets in any other shop. As for the Klim as you say a game changer and will get the trousers next and I already have the Scott jacket and trousers. I can see the Halvarsen kit being consigned to my garage hanging rail. Just found your channel and subscribed.

[@1990-t1j]

The trouble with this jacket for me, apart from the price, is its looks. I prefer the Rukka StretchAir.

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up 1990, be a boring place if we all liked the same stuff 😲, not seen the Rukka up close but guess it's a great jacket 👍, thanks for watching and dropping a comment, much appreciated, ride safe, Simon B 👍

[@p-dub7422]

Hi great video and very convincing! I am not clear about the name of this jacket. Can you please let me know the name of this jacket again and thanks!

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up Paul, it's the klim marrekesh , where to buy is in the description box, ride safe, Simon B 👍

[@mntbighker]

Prefer level 2 armor.

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up mntbighker, if you buy from motolegends you can upgrade the armour to level 2 for not much and they keep the level 1, not many manufacturers put level 2 in as standard, hopefully soon they all will, ride safe, Simon B 👍

[@GBMatthew07]

You bought into the chap in the cap's (MotoLegends) marketing I see.

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up Matt, or did he copy me 🤔, have you a marakesh jacket ?

[@GBMatthew07]

@@SIMONB1 Maybe, I wasn't being mean just joking as he did a whole video on that very concept. I'm sure it is very good as it's a Klim but I'm old school, Leather for me. Had a few spill over the many years I've been riding most my own stupid fault for pushing too hard. But Leather has always protected me the most. Yes it's sometimes hot and uncomfortable but I just feel safe in it.

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up Matthew, leather is great, always will be, materials have moved on, and are getting better all the time, if I were to ride on the track, I would wear leather 😉, I had a off with textile and nothing but a small scratch on the material, it's good we all don't like the same stuff, there would be no choice 🤭, thanks for watching and dropping a comment, much appreciated, are you still riding?

[@kimmixerxs]

Great review, glad to hear it comes in a woman's version too 👍🏾

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up kimmi, thanks for the kind words, you thinking of buying one, I'm becoming rather attract to klim stuff 😲

@@SIMONB1 Yes, I am and the Scott waterproofs. A visit to Motolegends is in the pipeline 🙂

[@SIMONB1]

Sounds good, you'll love the jacket, good job motolegends is a 600 mile round trip, as I'd be bankrupt by now, keep us updated withe the purchase, ride safe, Simon B 👍

[@markgilbert6611]

Did you buy a size up for layering or just your normal size.

[@SIMONB1]

I found the klim to be a bit on the large size, I take a 42" jacket, but the medium fits nicely, I can get a Rab cirrus flex underneath for the insulation, plus the Marrakech is stretchy 😁, hope this helps, Simon B 👍

I just read a customer comment on revzilla from a guy who crashed with this jacket at 45mph and the jacket shredded badly. he has photos. check it out

Hey up fogmaster, I wouldn't believe everything I read on the internet 😁, I have seen this as it's a year old now, I cannot make a decision on it as I don't have all the facts, due to my autism, thanks for sharing the information, ride safe, Simon B 👍

[@martinhughes9769]

Not everyone can afford a jacket like this ££££, may be a comfortable jacket, however you will need an under garment and a top waterproof jacket it’s definitely not a jacket does all , I’ll stick with my good old trustworthy RST jackets and trousers, not let me down yet 😊

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up Martin, can't take it with you 😉, yes the rst is ok and will do what you want, yes it's not cheap but you do get what you pay for the jacket is probably £130 mor than your rst, but it's way comfortable, will last year's more than other jackets so it works out cheaper in the long run, but we are all different and the world would be a boring place if we all like the same 😁, ride safe, Simon B 👍

[@grumpysquid]

This jacket falls short for me in one aspect: no chest armor pockets. As it is I’d have to keep wearing my armored D30 vest, not ideal for warm to hot climates.

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up grumpysquid, I have to disagree, unless your racing on road or off road I see no need for chest armour, for normal riding, so it's well suited for the job and the best jacket you can buy 😁, thanks for watching and dropping a comment, much appreciated, ride safe, Simon B 👍

[@jimsmith4611]

They look like cracking jackets but it's on the expensive side. But then if you want quality it obviously doesn't come cheap..

girl zip is actually american zip. sorry mate. we are backwards
