  MSR Trans Jak 2013

  Phillip in CO

  Versatile jacket

  I've ridden with this a few times now, and I'm really liking it. I've owned similar jackets in the past, and I like being able to close it up on a cool morning, then open the vents as it warms, and remove the sleeves if it gets really warm. Good ventilation on this jacket, nice comfy collar, good zippers, and lots of pockets. Suggestions to MSR for improvement: I've been looking for a similar jacket that is water proof (to be fair, this is pretty water resistant), and also with a place for a hydration bladder- those two things would make this jacket perfect, but it is very good as it is.

  Akito Desert Motorcycle Jacket

  Rick in MB

  Fantastic value

  I have owned, and continue to own several different makes and styles of riding jacket. I have to say that not only for the money (great value), this is a very good jacket. I was originally attracted to the style and colour of the jacket (also bought the matching pants)but was fully expecting the quality to match the low price. I was very wrong. The jacket is very comfortable, not stiff like many riding jackets (textile types). It has sufficient protective devices that are easily removable when wanting to wash the jacket. It has a removable rain liner and quilted liner. The venting, while minimal, does actually seem to work (liners out of course). While it does not provide hot weather relief like a full mesh jacket, it is quite bearable as long as you are not riding in extreme heat. The zippers for the vents are of some kind of waterproof design and do seem to keep the water out. I have ridden in huge downpours and for the most part stayed pretty dry. Like alot of jackets, eventually the sleeve bottoms allow you to get wet. Some nit-pics...the main zipper could be a bit heftier, it is a very fine toothed affair, but has not created any problems just yet. The snaps are the same ones used on the pant, and don't have a nice solid feel to them, and sometimes just come undone on their own. Warmth: the jacket with liners will provide for a warm ride up until those late-fall rides. I would'nt count on it to keep you warm once the temps are much below 8 degrees C, or 45ish F. For that type of riding I use an Alpinestars that is much heavier. Sizing: sizing seems abit on the small side, generally a Large leaves me a bit of "clearance" but this Large is almost snug. I had also tried an XL, but there was quite a differnce in sleeve length and settled on the Large. I get alot of comments on what a great looking outfit this is (especially when coupled with the pants), and it is without a doubt my most comfy jacket. Again, this is a great jacket, even more so when taking the the price in to consideration.

  Moose Racing Expedition Jacket

  PAUL in GA

  Nice jacket...sized small

  I just recently purchased this jacket and love the way it looks and it's quality, but I had to return it. The size of the jacket is weird. Moose must have patterned the jacket's size after a Olympic athlete. The jacket is very "strait" through the chest, tight in the shoulders, and tight in the elbows. I ordered an XXL just so I could have room for extra layers of clothing and some "wiggle" room, but the jacket fits like a tailored suit jacket. It looks great if you keep your arms at your side and always stand strait up...not good qualities for a racing jacket. Sorry Moose you missed the mark by a mile on the sizing.

  MSR Attak Jak

  Don in OR

  Excellent quality and fit

  Recomend up upsize. I love the Jak. Rode in some pretty serious weather and stayed dry and comfortable. Short in the waist so will not bunch up when sitting but still long in the back to protect. Get one. You will not be dissapointed.

  MSR Pak Jak 2013

  FRANK in PA

  Very Good Rain wear

  I have used this suit many times now and it has never let me down. While riding it is comfortable and it breathes very well not like other rain wear that you get wet from sweating I would recommend this suit to anyone that wants a good set of rain wear. and best of all it packs down so small that it fits in its own pocket.
