Just my experience- I've had removable liner... walking around with a couple of pounds of absorbed water in your jacket is no fun- you drip everywhere and it makes you cold. Laminate with zip vents FTW. The only removable liner required is the thermal. So that Supervent 3 looks very tasty.

Scott jacket is brilliant, I even use it over my Carlsbad. You may think this over kill but when it rains all day and you are camping it means you don't have a big wet jacket in the tent. My Carlsbad is also brilliant probably the best jacket had yet including old Rukka. Recent 2500 mile UK trip with mostly rain north of the border and 30 degrees in the south worked perfectly.

I commute 45 mins each way in my Lysvik jacket (that I bought from yourselves) and I spent a week riding to the Black Forest and back in it. Seems perfectly suited to commuting and touring to me. It's a fantastic jacket for the price, though one of the arm zips keeps getting caught in loose stitching that has frayed already.
@Motolegends2 жыл бұрын
Not suitable for a long commute as it’s a drop-liner and so will wet out. Same applies to touring. This really is a ‘pop to the shops’ jacket. The zips are also not very waterproof, so in heavy rain, the jacket will quickly reach its level of incompetence. Wear a Scott over the top, and you would change the dynamics, but that applies equally to a mesh jacket! CC

I very much like my Klim kit but have to hack (believe that is the English word [I speak American, not English]) a chest protector into the rig…not a deal breaker but a pocket or two would be a nice option. Alpinestars is making a play for my attentions with their consistent provision for a chest protector. (Notice you do not review or mention this brand…I find it ubiquitous but well thought out).

Interesting reviews. I agree the Marrakesh is the best jacket in the world! However, I do not agree with your assessment of the Krios Pro helmet. I have a "big adventure bike" and I only ride on the road. I do a lot of miles. I have two helmets - a Krios Pro and a Neotec II. According to my ears (with earplugs), the Krios pro is a fair bit quieter than the Neotec. It is also far better vented. Together with the transitions visor and peak, it makes an excellent summer touring helmet, and it is definitely the one I choose for longer tours. I have a Sena 30K clamped on the side and I have no issues hearing my intercom or phone. I guess my head must just be the ideal shape for this helmet and I'd buy another without hesitation.

@Motolegends2 жыл бұрын
We just prefer the Marrakesh. It is so much lighter and, with its stretch component, it’s much more comfortable to wear. It flows as much air as the Baja. It also doesn’t look like a bike jacket, which is a consideration for us. Like the Baja S4, it’s AA-rated, so is strong enough for most riding. Nothing wrong with the Baja S4, but we think the Marrakesh is so easy to live with that it would always get our vote. CC
@williamb.69182 жыл бұрын
Honestly I have both the Baja and the Marrakesh and I vastly prefer the Marrakesh as well. I took the Baja out for a long weekend Rally and my wife set the jacket down and one of the shoulders contacted some of the Velcro on the garment and it damaged the stretch fabric on the shoulder (given the price I was not impressed with how readily it was damaged). Neither my Marrakesh or Badlands has ever had issues getting tore up like that when lightly pressed against Velcro. The Marrakesh also has a much nicer fit since it is all stretch material unlike the Baja which combines several different materials (a large portion of which have no stretch).

You’re comparing apples and pears. One is laminate; one is drop liner. In heavy rain, the Vansbro will not wet out, but for most people the Rukka will be more comfortable and warmer. The Rukka’s warranty is also three times longer than the Halvarssons’ one. And that’s an important factor if you do a lot of miles. CC

I see you recommended the Neotec II for a flip lid.

@ClipperUK20082 жыл бұрын
@@williamb.6918 I totally agree with you - When Motolegends say noone in the bike industry takes seriously - they mean the expensive brands don't because they don't always score 5/5 and the big brands have to sell expensive helmets. SHARP testing and ratings are based on real world crash data and replicate real world impacts including angled surface impact (like kerb etc) as well as impact passed to the head inside and rotational factors. Every helmet passes ECE22.05 so that is that and then we just get people saying "buy the expensive brands whats your head worth" etc. SHARP add an extra data point and it is no coincidence that some of their tests (oblique impact and rotational forces) now form part of ECE22.06 so it seems someone takes them seriously. The SHARP site is very honest about the chin bar latch test. It says that it doesn't test the latch explicitly but as it impact tests the helmet (30 drops at various heights and angles) it notes if the chin bar latch fails - with Neotec 2 it failed 10 times out of 30 which is pretty damning. However SHARP are open about the fact that it is not a latch test as such. Personally I wouldn't touch a helmet where the latch fails when the helmet is impact tested having impact tested a 100% latch rated flip helmet chin first! The fact is a £100 helmet can be as safe as £500 helmet. ECE22.05 or ECE22.06 or SHARP on their own don't prove that but they all provide good data points. However there are other factors like comfort, pinlock, sun visor, quick release visors etc. That is what the expensive brands offer, not necessarily highest safety rated helmets. Personally I go for ticking as many boxes as possible within the budget I have.
