Top 10 adventure bike jackets 2023

My inspiration, so to speak, for this review, came from a comparison of adventure jackets that I read recently in a magazine. Now I am not a great fan of product reviews that appear in magazines. By and large, motorcycle journalists simply don’t know enough about gear and how it works. They usually don’t ride in the gear they’re testing. And they don’t get the kind of feedback that people like us get from hundreds of customers who buy it; and who then report back to us on their findings.
Some might suggest that we too have a conflict of interest; after all, we sell pretty much everything we review. Well, in theory yes, but in practice not so much. We call it the way we see it. If we don’t think much of a product, we will highlight the issue. And we feel we can do this because we sell lots of products, and what we have found is that customers will often buy a product we have criticised because the feature or facet we are talking about does not concern them. Or, if the issue concerns them, they’ll buy a different product from us.
Conflict or not, rest assured that our reviews do ruffle feathers. We are often contacted about our reviews by aggrieved manufacturers, but our response to them is invariably that if we didn’t highlight issues the chances are that nobody else would. In fact, we are actually performing a useful service for them, we explain. It‘s a view, of course, that they don’t always agree with!
Suffice it to say that our views are just that. As ever in life there are no ‘rights’ and no ‘wrongs’; there are just shades of opinions. But our opinions are based on a considerable amount of knowledge, lots of experience, and the constant feedback we get from the kinds of customers who use their gear in the manner that was intended.
Adventure jackets with laminated membranes may look the part. They will often look right on an adventure bike. They sit longer; they are rarely black, they have lots of vents, and so on. But, in truth, these jackets are really just touring jackets in the ‘adventure’ style. And this should perhaps not surprise us because, in truth, a lot of adventure bikes these days are just touring bikes with long-travel suspension.
These adventure-style jackets can still be fantastic bits of kit. And if you want to go touring somewhere warm, but in the knowledge that it might also rain, then a laminated, adventure jacket may be just what you need. And so, in this review, we are going to make a distinction between what we are calling ‘proper’ adventure jackets where the membrane can be removed, and laminated adventure jackets where the membrane cannot be.
Of course, there are still a few adventure-style jackets out there with drop-liner membranes, but such jackets are little more than slightly cynical exercises in styling, and will not be up to much when the going gets tougher. They won’t vent well, and they will ‘wet out’ in the rain.
Anyway, let’s look at our ‘Top 10 adventure jackets’. Now, apparently, this is what we have to title a review like this in order to rank highly on Google and KZbin. But here’s our little secret; our Top 10 actually includes 11 jackets. Don’t tell anybody!

Huge thanks for posting these videos sir. I always love your chat. Harsh but always fair lol

[@Longstride]

That was probably the best and most honest and comprehensive review of the latest jackets I’ve seen and just what I was looking for! However in the UK my definition of “adventure” has to include the cold and rain 🤣 so I’m happy with a liner. I’ve been wearing Rukka pro type jacket for over ten years in both summer and winter with just a t-shirt underneath quite happily. I’ve also just realised you’re only up road from me so I’ll def pop by soon! Cheers!

[@markperkins8548]

I enjoy your reviews specifically because of your honesty and how obviously factual they are based on your experience and customer feedback. Now, to offer my feedback and slightly disagree with your opinion of laminated jackets in hot weather. I own a Klim Kodiak jacket and live in Australia (New South Wales) to be specific, with latest Summer being mild with only high 35-40 Deg C days. In previous years I’d owned a Dainese Teren jacket and even with all vents open and the water drop liner removed it was too hot! The Kodiak with all vents opened actually managed to vent better, even when the air is hot and if I wet actually the evaporative cooling made the jacket quite comfortable. I ride a Multistrada and yes, it is essentially a comfortable tourer with little off-road riding, but love the Kodiak and don’t find the laminated exterior uncomfortable after “break in” and copes far better with heavy rain and even the cold weather we experience in the Snowy Mountains in Winter (rarely below -5 deg C) was comfortable with just adding a puffer jacket and a long sleeve T shirt. The warranty and quality of build impressed me though the price here is up there with Rukka, but the fact it vents much better is why I chose the Klim. I will be doing a 16 day bike tour in UK, France, Sardinia and Corsica in August and September, so consider I’ll be well prepared for whatever weather we have thrown at us. Keep up the detailed reviews and if I need to replace any gear while there, I will definitely drop in.

[@rjsalameh]

Another excellent video Chris. I have a Long Way Up jacket and your thoughts are spot on. The venting is good enough that I wore it on a 400 mile ride here in California where the temperature on the highway hit 109 degrees F. Also the grey color works well with my Gauntlet Gray Pan America 1250 S. I have the pants too and fortunately, the length is perfect for me.

What a brilliant review! I’m retired and have all the time in the world to waste it watching motorbike related things and if I was buying new gear to wear this is the shop I’d go to. The trouble is it’s in Guildford and I’m in Cheshire and Chris might say “mail order!” But then I’d never get to sample the shortbreads and super fresh coffee. Off to check the train times to Guildford….

[@Alexanderpaal67]

Good info thanx. I prefer the Klim Carlsbad both for on & off roading spring/summer. Live in Scandinavia & yes it rains & there are northwinds. Size: Suits a vikings well, proper protection including back, rather lightweight, variety of colors, totaly waterproof & well vented. When autumn/ winter i use the Klim Badlands Pro. Had a highspeed crash last summer & survived only with a broken shoulder. Jacket used Carlsbad & pants…probably saved my life together with My Shoei Neitech2. Please get a rotatiating dolly so we can see the backside. GS GS & more GS. I ride Honda: Transalps, Africa Twins & VFR1200X….So GS is not synanamous to Adventure riding. The Power Of Dreams ❤

[@Oddingen]

[@MickBla]

I am a happy user of the Klim Marrakesh and Zephyr; Scott (jacket and pants) and Rokker chinos (the ones with water repellent feature) combo (plus TOG24 down jacket for these extra cold days). This is a great set which serves me well in +40°C touring in Italy or France, as well as below 0°C conditions here in the UK (occasionallyin heavy rain). Very comfortable, easy to wear and looks really nice when I'm on my 1200RS 😂 Thank you Chris for reiterating that I've made a great choice investing in this particular set! 👍🏻

[@commander_lard]

+1 on this - specifically this layering system from Motolegends led me to Klim Marrakesh + Zephyr (that I also wear off the bike - great lightweight jacket) and scott waterproofs - only exception is the chino's, went for vented Rukka forceair but did go with recommended Daytona boots to make up for it :)

Best reviews I’ve ever seen

[@martinwilson2039]

Baja S4 jacket and trouser for me - max airflow combined with max protection - down jacket underneath if it is cold with Scott Ergo Pro jacket and trousers over Baja S4 set for wind/rain protection - layers way to go.

[@geddstock]

Nice reviews but those jackets are way to expensive for me. My viper jacket was £149 loads of vents,pockets all zippered and flapped with CE armour in shoulders and elbows. And its 3 layers which all zip in. I’m really happy with it.😅

[@franc7038]

Klim...that little horizontal line above the i is called a macron. Macrons indicate long vowels sounds, therefore the pronunciation of Klim rhymes with climb! Thanks for an excellent video and some fine reviews.

[@AdventuresonZero]

I've owned the Long Way Up set for about 8 months now and I agree with Chris on the weight, it was my first impression when I lifted the set out of the shipping box, 'wow this is heavy'! However, the set has held up well and is my go-to for winter riding thanks to the waterproof Gortex. The one niggle I have about the pants (I'm 6'2, so fit is proper) are the location of the vent zippers, they are right on the crease of the thigh. When sitting down, they can dig into my legs. After wearing them for several months, they've been 'broken in' a bit, so not as uncomfortable, but still noticeable. Belstaff only would need to adjust the zips at an angle to contour the natural crease in the groin to prevent this, a slight oversight in my opinion. Other than that, I love the look, feel and utility of the Belstaff LWU top and bottoms.

[@safdarlodi]

Great video

[@matthewoakley6081]

I’m not sure I agree about laminated membranes. They allow excellent venting. My 7 yr old Klim badlands suit is still cooler than a knox shirt in 30 degrees, yet add a soft shell and heated waistcoat and I can do 400miles on motorway rain in December ! One problem with layering is you have to carry it, and you need to stop to put on a water proof layer. I tend to be optimistic until too late!

[@martinhughes9769]

Always enjoy your videos love your enthusiasm for the garments, They are beautiful looking, However the cost of much you advertise is out of the reach of many bikers, I can see the benefits of great quality if your riding all year round,in all whether, For me I don't tend to ride in bad weather, i do ride In the winter but pick my days, Few jackets you've shown around £ 500 , that's enough for me and the biking I do,

I respect your opinion but I like a laminated membrane. I have not that much experience from adventure motorcycle but from many years of sailing coastal and offshore and also from trekking four season.

[@2dollarbill3]

Here in Southern California, we really don't care about water proofing. This is because, we really don't get that much rain. (this years record breaking rain not with standing) What we need is a jacket that can adjust for hot a cold weather.

[@michaelwilliams3861]

All I can say is, who decides what an adventure is? Noraly is having an adventure, certainly, but when I travel for two weeks around Spain, that’s my adventure.

[@Geshmaal]

The trip to my local post office through a crumbling council estate is definitely an adventure!

[@Motolegends]

Of course, you could have an adventure in Alaska on the bike, but you wouldn’t want an adventure jacket for that, so their are norms, and there is common parlance. If you wear a drop liner jacket in Spain, that might be an adventure, but you might well be better off in an adventure jacket. You could ride a moped around Brands hatch, but that wouldn’t make it a sportsbike! CP

[@jitenshakunify]

Would you consider a follow up video of the jackets in this category for particularly tall riders? For example, Klim "tall" sizing as the starting point?

[@roeypnini]

Any thoughts on RST AIR BAG jacket?

[@michal_z]

I would add Klim dakar to the list of anybody is looking for a comfy adventure suit. Much cheaper than the other ones. No waterproofing as Marrakech. No protectors included. You can decide on your own either to buy a body armour jacket / knee braces to wear underneath or to buy d3o armour and insert it in the pockets.

[@daniellacarrubba3369]

Is there any reason why e.g. the italian brands like Revit, Spidi, Dainese or Clover are missing?

[@jonr3891]

Areostich for the win!

[@matthewoakley6081]

How do you know it’s going to rain for more than an hour! I’m usually an optimist

[@alexgossage2333]

There's definitely better and best jackets but I've done KTM rallys on a 790 in 30 degrees in a Rukka Nivala jacket. Not the best, yea there are better but it was fine and actually quite useful as it was 7 hours in the rain on the highway to get to the start point (and the jacket kept me bone dry) and then farm and forestry tracks in 30 degrees two days later. It was hot, but if you have the chest protector in you can close the jacket using that and open the main zip which makes it like a big mesh vent at the front which was glorious. I guess my point is saying you never want a laminated membrane if you actually ride off road isn't true. It's totally do able, particularly if it's well vented. Yes you get hotter than if you were wearing a Klim Marrakesh or separate armour and a MX jersey on but having something not waterproof where I am (New Zealand) is a waste of time even in summer. You're soaked by the time you've found somewhere to stop and put on an over jacket. Plus it means you can ride in winter (which is just as fun) without needing two different pieces of gear.

[@bertrandbouchereau535]

Chris, a lot of bikers use airbag , what are your favorite jacket/ layers combinations ?

[@Motolegends]

Not a great fan of airbags for the casual, weekend rider. One of the main concerns I have is over heating. The Marrakesh is the perfect jacket to go over an airbag for two reasons. It flows so much air, it overcomes the problem I have already alluded to. Secondly, with all the stretch in the Marrakesh, it will expand when an airbag goes off in a way that means that any injury as a result of the bag going off is unlikely. CP

[@Motoscotty]

Still can’t beat the Klim Kodiak 😊

[@mengaw-yong2490]

Completely agree there is a magazine that frequently state a Uk brand clothes are gr8 which is definitely not my experience. The Mag also never reviews Rokker or expensive gear except rukka smacks of pseudo advertising. IMHO u stock stuff u think are good so don’t have a lot of Criticism for your stock. I have 3 of these reviews and agree ( rare) with your comments. belstaff is a good UK jacket whilst my Marrakesh does it when summer comes carese is waiting to be used

[@bacbladerunner]

Thank you for a great review of some super jackets. Love your channel. But, as an American, I would like to suggest the proper pronunciation of the brand Klim. It is pronounced as CLIMB. Like climb a hill. Their logo even has a long I mark above the i. Keep the great vids coming.

[@Motolegends]

Surely that can’t be right. You can’t just decide to pronounce words in the way you decide you want to pronounce them. This is the English language, and it needs to be protected. Maybe you can have a word. I agree they should put a ‘b’ or an ‘e’ on the end, and then we can pronounce the word the way you suggest. CP

[@bacbladerunner]

@Motolegends I didn't decide to pronounce it as 'Climb', Klim decided to pronounce it that way. It's all good, no problem. Love your vids.

[@Motolegends]

@@bacbladerunner Of course, I know how Klim pronounces the brand name. We are one of their largest sellers, so of course we know, but the ‘long i’ that you refer to does not actually exist in English. They have taken a phonetic device, and have applied it incorrectly to the written word. On a technical level, they have simply invented their own pronunciation. Which is why I enjoy winding them up! CP.

[@bacbladerunner]

@Motolegends LOL! Fair enough. You're still a good chap (of course, I like to pronounce it 'chop' over here).

[@greg9076]

@@Motolegends Because you’ve responded in such a way in regard to the English language and proper pronunciation: It drives me crazy that the British mispronounce, “aluminum.” It’s not simply a mispronunciation however, you actually add a syllable that isn’t there. Aluminum has only four syllables: al u min um The British add an, “i” between, “min” and, “um.” al u min i um and say, al oo min ee um with the accent on the first syllable. I don’t mind where the accent is placed, but do not add syllables! It’s, “uh lum in um.” By the way, I just found and subscribed and appreciate very much your reviews! I wish that I could visit your store, describe my riding style and area here in Colorado, and let you equip me correctly!

I have KLIM’s Carlsbad jacket. Great jacket. But be careful of warranty. I’m not sure what it covers. I recently fell and slid on the tarmac at a slow speed. I ended up with a simple broken ankle. But the helmet & the jacket took the big hit. Left sleeve on the jacket was ripped in several places. I call the manufacturer but they said they would not cover any of the damage. I didn’t expect anything but called because I was curious. Coincidentally, SCHUBERTH also would not warranty their E-1 helmet as well. Again, I didn’t expect anything from SCHUBERTH either. So much for warranties…

[@timbrowne5433]

I love my Klim Induction jacket in the very hot dry weather as it's airflow & comfort is great....but it's not something I'd wear for any sort of rain protection. The Marrakesh sounds ideal with it's waterproof capabilities & it's better body protection. Chris, do you ever consider BMW jackets/gear or do they simply not make the cut for your "tops" or "bests"? Great review!

[@Motolegends]

Sorry, misunderstanding! The Marrakesh is similar to Induction. There is no waterproof component to the Marrakesh. You have to wear a waterproof over the top. We recommend the Scotts. CP

[@Motolegends]

Another response; sorry! We don’t think it’s fair for a retailer to review gear that it doesn’t sell. It would be difficult to avoid bias. In general, I am not a fan of most clothing produced by motorcycle manufacturers. But BMW is probably the exception to the rule. CP

[@SKYAL75]

Very honest response!! The GS Rally would compete with the Marrakech. Not in price , of course, although it comes with level 3 protections….

how come the Klim latitude didn't make it to this list?

Great factual video, but what is the difference between the Klim Marrakesh and the Klim Induction ?

[@Motolegends]

Can you give me some time to get back to you? The Induction does a similar job; I think we just marginally preferred the Marrakesh when we first came across it. But I am going to talk to klim about the differences. I will come back to you via KZbin. CP

[@whinstonwhoodle6373]

Fit, certainly. Yoga wear vs starched chainmail is a good approximation of the difference between the two. And for water resistance as well.

[@Motolegends]

The answer is not a lot. When we first saw the Marrakesh we fell for its comfort; and it is true that the Induction has less stretch. But we also liked the look. It was plainer, and looked more like a fleece than a motorcycle jacket. I think it’s possible that the Induction jackets flow more 😊air than the Marrakesh, and certainly the Pro version looks as though it has more protection. So really, for us, the Marrakesh just works; it’s that simple. But functionally I think the Inductions are probably more than a match for it. CP

[@jasonkillsformomy]

​@@Motolegends Why did you edit your post to leave out the fact that Duell is the owner? I hope they continue making good stuff under Duell, but I doubt it. On a side note that has nothing to do with Duell, their waterproof rating of just 10k isn't something that should be in their price category when even cheaper products have higher ratings. This isn't 2003. On a another side note that may have to do with Duell is that the non removable Outlast liner is a bad idea. And yes I'm aware that you have said so in your review. When the first model with this brain fart came out I thought to myself WTH are they thinking. If I recall correctly it came about the same time as Duell bought them. My prediction is that Halvarssons will get worse because of new ownership, stupid designs and not updating their materials which they haven't hardly ever done.

[@jasonkillsformomy]

Marrakesh should have level 2 armor with that price.

[@Motolegends]

Given it’s so brilliant and unique, we think the price is good. For a few quid you can upgrade to Level 2, but most people prefer the Level 1 armour for extra comfort. CP

@@jasonkillsformomy Don’t be a dick! CP

[@SKLSNAPS]

@@Motolegends In your video you haven't touched on the armour to stay in its place riding off-road when you are layering up with a thermal liner and a windbreaker underneath the Marrakesh? What are your thoughts on that subject with this layering system? I will have to go one size up (LG) to accommodate all layers when it's cold and windy, while in hot weather leaves me wearing a roomy jacket giving space to the armour to potentially move around too much riding off-road. Or should I opt for separate protection?

[@Motolegends]

@@SKLSNAPS The secret is to buy a size smaller than you might imagine you want. The right size with just a base layer on should still be relatively snug. But because there is so much stretch in the material, you will be amazed just how easily it will accommodate something like the Maverick. We see this a lot in the shop. People often think they need to go a size up. But we put the Zephyr and Maverick underneath the Marrakesh they have on, and suddenly they realise how easily it will take layers beneath it. Come and see us if you can; we’ll show you how it all works. But still, for serious off-road work nothing beats an armoured vest. CP.
