I really like the layering system for the jacket. I actually have a very similar setup in that I combined the Nucleus protector jacket (which can be worn separately) and the Component 2 H2O for waterproofing. No it's not GoreTex, but having ridden in the rain with it there is no noticeable difference (ie, still dry after lots of rain). The Component has a bit more ventilation and looks to me like it is also a bit thinner/less bulky to pack and has a bit better placed and more ventilation. That combination also about halves the price. Although you need a jersey with the Nucleus vest. Not for any protection, but it only comes in black and that becomes hot very quickly in the sun... I'm still looking for a solution for the pants. Currently I have the defender 2 GTX pants. It's a nice pants, but has become too large. Having had a laminated pants and now this removable waterproof layered pants. Here are my findings for both setups: Laminated: Damage the outer layer, bye bye waterproofing. For me, the pants gets the most abuse. Kneeling down on rocks, brushes, contact with the bike etc. They have to endure a lot. I prefer it if the fabric would be able to handle my abuse, but I'll always doubt if it can. Removable waterproof layer: I don't remove the waterproof layer, as it's a pain to get it back in there when it starts raining. Cooling vents have less benefits due to this. The outer layer still gets soaking wet in the rain and in a downpour water starts running over the waterproof layer which is often in direct contact with my legs (cold). It also stays wet for a long time. Does anyone have any recommendations for me to look at?

I only have the trouser part of this. I find the inner trouser to be the most comfortable piece of moto gear I own but the outer layer is near useless to me. It’s far too restrictive and uncomfortable as well as slightly difficult to get on. Great review by the way. A person who actually uses the gear

Thanks for the feedback. It's always useful to hear from people who have also used the gear! - Andrew

[@pierrepicco]

Very comprehensive review. Thank you. I plan to buy one, now I'm hesitating about the trouser.

If you don't plan on too much technical off road then my 'concerns' will be null and void. Bear in mind we do free returns so you can try them and see how they feel. It will be clear straight away whether it's an issue or not for you without needing to actually go and ride in them - Andrew. Oh, small caveat which I didn't mention is that I've since done a full on very wet rally in this jacket and trouser and the outer Goretex 3L pro layer really is incredible on both jacket and trouser. I have not seen better for harder riding in horrible conditions. I came off quite hard and the trousers had no signs of it, unlike my knee! - Andrew

@@AdventureRiderMoto Thank you for your answer. As we plan to go to Scotland next year, the 'waterproofness' might be of importance!

Question. At 8:40 yo have some Revit winter jacket underneath, which one is it? And in those scenarios what kind of underwear do you use? Revit too? Thermal? And the boots! Are those Gaerne boots?? Goretex??

[@thedevmachine]

What are you wearing under the base layer? Bodywarmer?

[@AdventureRiderMoto]

A generic mid layer. Mine is from Richa but there are many decent ones. You don't need anything too fancy - Andrew
