Klim Motorcycle Gear

Klim Marrakesh jacket in teak brown

Rich: Great jacket, and very pleased overall

Very pleased with this jacket and bought it to replace a Merlin vented jacket that was just too vented and too cool in most UK conditions that I ended up wearing a thin down jacket under it all the time! Everything else has been said about quality so I wont repeat it. But practically I think this jacket is great and, of course, pairs well with the Klim Zephyr. In my experience so far, on warm UK days 18-25 degs, the Marrakesh is fine on its own. If its much cooler than that you might need a Zephyr or extra base layer at faster speeds. On recent trip to the Pyrenees it was 34-36 degs and I was still too hot in this jacket, even with just a merino T shirt underneath, and was left in a sweaty mess. But how often do we get to ride in those temps! Most of the time this jacket will be perfect with layers and is now my go to piece of kit. In my experience, sizing is out. I normally wear Large UK size - 511 32-34 waist 42-44 chest. The L Marrakesh was way too big, baggy, square cut and didnt look or feel right. The medium was a great fit on the shoulders, chest and arm length but it was a bit snug around the waist which was the opposite to the Medium Zephyr - baggy on the belly, tighter on the chest. I opted for the Medium on balance and will just have to get a bit smaller around the waist. Worth bearing this in mind if ordering online. I understand now what Chris means in his review about not having enough sizes - the jump between M and L is quite significant. I ordered the multiple sizes and returned the unwanted items to Motolegends with minimal hassle. Great service as always from them and you cant fault the customer service and delivery speeds. Buy one in the right size and you wont be disappointed.

Martin N: Just the job

The boots are as comfortable as the marketing blurb suggests and it is possible to wear these for walking the streets and trails as much as wearing them on the bike. Even though I ordered my usual shoe size I used the provided extra insole to make the boots a perfect fit. The boots are light and very well ventilated and provide a welcome alternative to my Dainese boots in the hot weather

Scot: Great trousers that might actually justify the price

Never thought Id spend £300 on a pair of bike jeans well cargo trousers, but Ive been looking for a pair of brown bike trousers for a while now since I went a bit OTT on green jackets and green trousers just doesnt really go. These somehow do it all, the vents down the side work incredibly well, Im usually too hot and bothered to ride in anything over 27 degrees here in the UK, but these really help with my mesh jacket, a lot better than all my other bike jeans. And actually cooler than riding in normal jeans which is what I generally do when its too hot for bike jeans yes I know its bad. The pockets are also great and actually usable, I never keep anything in my pockets in case something falls out but the zip leg pocket on the right is nice and secure so keep phone and keys and stuff in there. Theres also a handy small elastic key type pocket which I use for keeping my car key in my pocket my bike cover and locks go in the boot, my only storage but its useful for me, rather than holding all my keys and phone in my hands or something. Fitting is great, I tend to go for 36 recently to get thigh and groin space, even though tis baggy around the waist,then wear a belt to compensate. Not with these, 34 waist is perfect, not too baggy in general like 36 was and fits great. I also went for the long leg which I think is something like 34 or 36, great length for me being 63. I always suffer which trousers riding up on the bike and sitting on top of my riding shoes exposing my socks because of my height, so these long legs are perfect.
