I use the layer system but don't bother with 2 windproof layers. The waterproof is my windproof layer and it's quicker to put on and take off. Saves carrying an extra item and saves money. Just my 2 pence worth.

I do the same with my Held Carese jacket but sometimes the waterproof layer is just not enough...the situation when it's too warm for the puffa jacket yet to cold only to use the rain cover. My solution is very thin mid layer designed for hiking and it works well so far.

The Zephyr is a nicely made lightweight jacket. Chris does get carried away with its wind proof quality. You could dispense with it as it’s not that warm and the Scott has more windproof qualities.

Amazing how many commentators don't get the point of this recommendation. He is selling you a complete system that can replace 3 or 4 more expensive jackets with armor and offer more versatility with better comfort. Those 4 basic components offer complete comfort and protection when riding in temperatures from 35˚C to -20˚C; with or without rain.

This was a very good review of the Marrakesh jacket. I just bought one and love it. It was significantly more expensive than my old Joe Rocket riding jacket or the cheap mesh jacket that I bought to test the concept, but it's easy to see where the extra money went. The Marrakesh oozes quality. The fit is excellent (sizing runs a bit on the large side, even by portly US standards) and there is incredible attention to detail in this highly engineered technical garment. Thank you for explaining the importance of a proper layering system to extend the summer Marrakesh for all seasons and all weather conditions. I'll use my yellow DuPont seam sealed Tyvek coveralls as an ultralight rain suit for riding in rain or whenever I need the ultimate wind protection in cold damp conditions, rather than the very nice Scott jacket shown in the video. I have a polyester pile jacket that I use in cool weather instead of a down puffy jacket. It's good to wear off the bike as well. Down is lighter and packs much smaller but pile is more durable, and it's warmer when wet. I need to get a lightweight windbreaker jacket. I may get the Klim Zephyr as shown in this video. Like the Marrakesh jacket, it's a bit pricey, but buying quality only hurts once. It's probably worth the difference in price to have a durable high quality Klim shell that fits properly and works well. For very cold conditions, I also have an ultralight heated vest that I made from two car seat heaters. They use carbon fiber as the resistive heating elements.

What I didn’t anticipate was the weight of the jacket. My advice is to get the most slimmest or tightest size you can fit. I found you feel the weight more with slightly larger side. Seems to hang on your shoulders more with the bigger size. Update: bought the jacket. It doesn’t “flow air” as this gentlemen here would suggest. I’m in N. America so I assume they are talking about hot European weather not US or Canadian. Yes it get’s very hot in Canada. A mesh jacket flow 30-40% more air. Update: 31C with humanity at about 45%. So very hot sweaty. Jacket is good if you’re moving however if you’re commuting in stop and go traffic in this heat with this jacket. You will cook. It is more comfortable than a mesh, it’s not a cheese grater on your skin. Jacket resisted the wet in the the rain on a 20 minute commute. Was bone dry. This jacket is probably the best jacket for English weather.

While the Marrakesh flows a good amount of air, it's no match whatsoever for the Baja S4. In high heat you'll still be warm in the Marrakesh - it's a pretty tight weave. The Baja has excellent Scholler mesh coupled with SuperFabric and stretch panels. It's no better looking than the Marrakesh, but it's far superior in the heat. I toss a thin rain jacket over the Baja when it's cold or wet. TBH I prefer my Latitude for hot weather road-riding. With all vents open and the collar pinned back the Latitude is excellent at ventilation. It looks 100x better than either of these mesh jackets, and needs no rain jacket. When the heat climbs too high (100 degrees F +) you can seal the jacket and keep the heat out! I use the Baja for dirt riding.

You totally convinced me! As an addicted hiker and long haul motorcycle traveler, I totally agree that the layering is the way to go. However, I still do use my Held Carese II (slight difference from the Evo model) and the ultimate test for it's performance in really hot weather would be my trip in Turkey starting in 2 weeks. However, there is one downside of the layering system....you need to know exactly which size of the Klim Marrakesh would accommodate the wind-stopper and the puffer jacket under it. For a person like me that is always between the sizes (in my case M/L) this is always a question...either I can be comfortable with myself or loose few pounds to accommodate the layers under the jacket.

With the Carese EVO, it comes with the inside/outside Goretex liner, so that covers rain and wind chill. All a guy then needs is a thermal. Which set up would you recommend: EVO or Marrakesh?

The Marrakesh Jacket and Pants are not that good of a mesh really. Put your mouth against the garmet and try blowing through it. Permeability not stellar. Now do the same with the Klim Induction Jacket and feel the difference. I do have both, so I know. The Marrakesh material is certainly more pliable and it is nicer to wear into shops and restaurants. But I just don’t feel/believe the Ghost Armor L1 is that protective. I changed out to D30 Ghost L2. Of course, that makes the jacket a bit bulkier. Changed out to D30 Ghost L2 in pants as well. Bulkier, but not feel as much so.

Hi. First off I’m not in the market for this jacket. I have a mesh jacket and next to never wear it unless I’m overseas. The question I have is your thoughts on the down underlayer opposed to something synthetic like Primerloft. I have been under the impression that down losers most of its thermal qualities when compressed like under another jacket. Your thoughts please. Cheers. Michael Cunningham.

Don’t disregard the jacket. It’s not like a mesh jacket. Lots of people never go back to a traditional jacket after they’ve ridden in a Marrakesh. Get to try one if you can. It is true that a down jacket will hold less air if it is compressed. But then so will one with Primaloft or Insulate. But a down jacket holds more air, a down jacket makes any outer jacket more comfortable, and a down jacket is nicer to wear off the bike. CP

Beware this jacket has a terrible safety score with motocap. I wouldn't feel safe in it.

you certainly seem to know your stuff and have done your research. However I do not think that sourcing appropriate motorcycle gear should be so arduous and finessed as you make out. After all, Steve McQueen in the Great Escape, did not stop to swap his ragged sweatshirt for a layer system. If you ride bikes, as I do, then you know what you are going to have to contend with in terms of weather ( cold, rain, heat) and most tech systems will be sufficient enough to deal with this. Whatever way you try and cut it, motorcycling is inherently fraught with potential discomfort as barrelling along at 80 mph in the cold, the rain and the wind is never going to be that great or comfortable and the only way to alleviate that nonsense is to go by car. Some Motorcyclists are increasingly looking for Nirvana in terms of motorcycle gear and accessories to keep them comfortable ( witness, heated seats...what nonsense). I .started motorcycling over 30 years ago when a student and my motorcycle gear was a duffel coat and big gloves. I have since progressed and have a Rukka textile suit which, even at their prices, is not faultless or totally waterproof because nothing ever will be. You are always going to get that annoying drip down your neck or into your gloves.

A comfortable ride is a safe ride. I spent the bucks, got a Klim hardanger and got on the saddle in torrential monsoon rain, all I had to worry about was the road rather then the drip down the neck that I never had.

Stop calling it a mesh jacket. It's not. It's not even close to moving the same air. It might be fine in England in the summer, but virtually no where in the US is it cool enough for the summer. They also need to stop removing the adjustment straps for the elbow armor.
