Best Adventure Motorcycle Touring Suits

The best suit is the one you are wearing when you go down. All the others won't do you any good at all.

Joe Rocket One Piece is the one I use.

Have been using a Klim Badlands Pro (Gen 2) for a few years, and absolutely love it. My go-to gear for everything longer than an over-nighter.

Fully agree on the badlands pro— love mine but when it gets brutally hot in the summer I trade it for a mesh jacket for my commute.

Love my 'Stitch

Right! Let your outer suit protect your Birthday Suit (is that term used anymore?).

Motoport kevlar mesh that doesn't use polypropylene is the only way to go in Florida . I do miss my Stitch but now live in Florida and its to hot .

I use it.

Stacy's rider uses the X-MOTO 2 ensemble from Olympia. Like all 'convertible' clothing it's not brilliant at any one thing but it's good at most everything...

It's not a serious review if it didn't include MOTOPORT.

It's not a serious review if it didn't include MOTOPORT.

There are several suits that are not included. The title should be the "Best Motorcycle Touring Suits - of those tested"

That is not to say that the article is not helpful; it is as long as the fact that not all available suites were tested is kept in mind.

 

[Duporth]

Yes, very true. My comment is a bit harsh. My apology. The review is helpful on the range tested.
Thanks, D

I sport a Motoport mesh.

IMHO, there is only one "suit" in this review, the Aerostich Roadcrafter. To me a riding suit is a one piece. All the others are jacket and pant combinations.

 

[TipSTer]

Love my 2 pieces stich roadcrafter!

 

[heffly]

Id like to see slide tests. Comfort is elusive and more than likely adjustments will have to be made for some "condition". Show me the protection factor. Jmo

I like my Olympia phantom... I have both the mesh and solid versions, great for when you have a meeting and wear civvies underneath, quick change and you look like a citizen.

Aerostich. On or off over the work clothes in less than 30 seconds. Hot? Yeah, its hot. But I hardly expect my to wear my mesh jacket on a 28*F day either. Waterproof? Nope, but close enough even in a deluge behind the fairings of an ST. Does it do everything perfectly? Nope, except for the convenience and safety of it. RT
