Top 10 summer motorcycle pants 2024
Recently, we did a review of what we considered to be 10 of the best summer, motorcycle jackets. Our definition of a summer riding jacket being anything without a waterproof membrane. This being a necessity, obviously, to prevent overheating in warmer climes, or when you're working hard off road.
And so we thought it appropriate to follow up that review with one about riding trousers that are similarly suited to hot-weather riding.
Motorcycle trousers without a membrane are so much easier and more comfortable to wear than waterproof trousers. There is, of course, one problem with this form of attire on the bike. Basically, if it rains you are going to get wet.
The solution, of course, is to ...

Fuel Astrail motorcycle jacket review 2024
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.21 час назад
The Fuel Astrail motorcycle jacket is part of the company's so-called 'Expedition' collection. The Astrail jacket offers the versatility of a highly breathable outer jacket that can be married with both waterproof and thermal linings for inclement weather. The body of the jacket is made from a Nylon Ripstop fabric with leather patches on the elbows and shoulders for added protection. D3O armour...

In this review we are going to be looking at ten of our favourite summer jackets. We don't do every brand out there, obviously, but we do tend to be quite picky, so I think you can be reasonably confident that we're going to be talking about some of the better, summer jackets on the market. But I suppose the first question has to be: 'what is a summer jacket'? And for us the answer is any jacke...

Segura Prisca ladies dungaree review

The Prisca ladies dungarees were presented to us by the Segura importer towards the back end of 2023. Other retailers had turned their noses up at them, but we quite liked them, so decided to range them. We didn't do this merely to be different. We have taken them on because, for some lady riders, we think they are going to be perfect. The starting point, of course, is a pair of dungarees that ...

There can be no doubt that motorcyclists are turning their backs on full-height touring and commuting, motorcycle boots in favour of shorter, easier-to-wear, ankle boots. And it's not difficult to understand why. Now back in the old days, motorcycle boots were all tall. Whatever kind of bike you rode, whatever kind of riding you did, you bought a pair of calf-length boots. But that was when we ...

Belstaff Brooklands jacket review
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.2 месяца назад
Long acknowledged as the coolest, and easiest to wear, jacket in the company's motorcycle collection, we had somewhat fallen out of love with the Belstaff Brooklands as a biking jacket, because it was simply too short at the back. Cut more for the street than the bike, when leant forward over the bars it nearly always left the back exposed above the jean line. Not great in the rain, but of even...
Belstaff Trialmaster jacket review
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
The Belstaff Trialmaster is about as iconic as a motorcycle jacket gets. It's been around in various forms since just after the war. The version that has just been replaced was a heck of a jacket, but for some it was simply too much of a jacket. With it's 10 ounce wax cotton chassis it was a heavy jacket. Yes, it was robust; it was more than up to a winter commute, but it was not nice to walk a...
Belstaff Poplar chino review
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
The Belstaff Poplar is a style, or more particularly a fit, of trouser that has been in the Belstaff range for a few years now. But until this new, chino-version was introduced in 2024, the Poplar had always been a denim pant. The Poplar fit has always been, and still is, straight leg. More 501 than 511. The new chino is made from a stretch Cordura mixed with a polyamide for added strength. The...

It comes with vents on the chest, at the shoulders, in the arms, up the flanks, and in the back.

The Crosby jacket has been in the Belstaff motorcycle range for quite a while, although it was not around in the olden days before the brand was sold off to the Italian, Melanotti family; whereas styles like the Trialmaster and Brooklands were.

Belstaff Temple wax cotton jacket review

As a design, the Belstaff Temple jacket has been in the Belstaff collection for a few years. In truth, we were not, and still are not, great fans.

Around town, not a problem perhaps, but we would not have wanted to have a spill on the open road...

The Bering Antartica jacket is styled very much in the adventure aesthetic. The jacket sits a bit longer. You get large, lower, flap pockets, a ticket pocket on the front of the jacket, and another one on the sleeve. There's a large map pocket on the back. There's a strap to cinch the waist in; a strap that can also be adjusted higher or lower. You get nicely positioned vents at the side of the...
Bering Zephyr jacket review

The Bering Zephyr is undeniably fashioned in the mould of an adventure jacket. It comes equipped with a laminated membrane. Here at Motolegends, that's not necessarily our definition of an adventure jacket, but it certainly is Klim's, so who are we to argue? The membrane in the Zephyr is two-layer, and is Bering's own. Now, by and large, we are not fans of inexpensive, laminated garments. They ...

    The jacket is OK, but the cuffs leak. The zipper isn't waterproof and the ventilation is bad. For a jacket at this price point with laminated goretex it's incredible that they missed that. The storm collar is just annoying when it's flapping about with its symbolic magnet. I just bought the Rukka Shield-r and Rapto-r pants, and my god what a difference. The Rukka is well ventilated in the summer heat, very warm with the down set, and feels safe. Costs a pretty penny, but it alone has increased my level of enjoyment on the bike by a lot. A comfortable rider is a safe(r) rider and so forth.

    I have upgraded from Neotec 1 to 3. N3 is much much more quiet than N1. Unfortunately that is the only positive aspect I found. The redesigned front chin vent on N3 is much worse than the one on N1 and blows almost no air inside the helmet. The first locked position of visor on N3 is much higher than on N1. So in attempt to compensate for ineffective front chin vent when you open the visor you get too much air. N1 was far superior with that respect. So although N3 is very quiet in comparison to N1 , I am not really satisfied with N3 ….

    I came off my GS wearing a Nivala suit. A 70kmph low side. Simply ran out of talent. After I came to a halt. I simply lifted the bike up and continued on my way. Yes the pants were now with a gaping hole in them but the armour took the energy out of the crash. Great suit, comfortable, warm in the winter, fully waterproof but too hot in temperatures over 20 degrees. The armour size in the pants in the knees is a little too bit.

      Clearly you think you are in some way upholding the English language, but language is fluid. We talk about jogging pants, cargo pants and skiiing pants, whilst equestrians talk about riding pants, so what’s the big deal with motorcycle pants? Carry on like this, and people will take you for a retired public school teacher. There are no absolute rights or wrongs here; there are just views. You need to relax, and find something more worthy of your attention, because frankly pants vs trousers is a pretty tired debate, and one that, as time goes by, you are destined to lose! Skivvies, by the way, is an American term, so you need, at least, to be consistent! CP

      Wow. I don't like trousers being called pants, but Moto Legends, you need to chill. Chap in a cap with tweedy waistcoat and using the term "chap" is playing on Englishness, so be consistent. Btw no British equestrian would say riding pants. Jodhpurs (I believe to be a Hindi word) or more old school, breeches (also used in US britches) is what equestrians call riding trousers. Language evolves but the usual British English word is trousers and "pants" jarred with me, but nowhere near as much as the humourless and defensive response did.

I was not disappointed Chris immediately had one of the staff use the PFS on me and spend a half hour fitting me. The helmet is great and very comfortable. I will always go back to see them when i need a helmet. Oh and by the way it was $500 cdn cheaper than buying the same helmet in Canada. I am a big supporter of Motolegends and their great service

Then I decided on trying the Klim Induction jacket and pants as well. Much better about 80degF. In fact, I just returned today from 1800 miles trip from central Arizona up to SW Wyoming and back wearing the Induction gear. This morning at 9,000ft elevation campsite it was 58degF when I started. Had T-shirt, Klim Zephyr, Klim Induction and Scott’s rain jacket over it. As I dropped in elevation it started warming. By the time I arrived home it was 98degF and I was down to the T-Shirt and Induction jacket and it was tolerable.
