Finally a light weight full Gortex riding jacket. We need more options from Klim like this. I do wish it had more ventilation.

The jacket has amazing airflow. I live in the desert Southwest and it is a great choice. Typical KLIM quality. The biggest improvement is the airflow on and under my arms. Prior jacket had an arm vent that was not a big help. I may, or may not, use a hydration bladder this this as I don't want to block any airflow out the back. We'll see. Sizing from the KLIM chart was good. I have room underneath to add something for an early morning ride.

I have been using the Malcolm Smith Racing Xplorer jacket and pants over the past year and a half while riding thousands of miles in the Colorado Rockies, Iceland and Norway, and the gear set continues to perform superbly in both cool wet/rainy and dry conditions. Multiple trips to Northern Europe gave this gear a true extended test: long miles, changing temperatures, steady cold rain, wind, gravel roads, and dry touring days. Through all of it, this jacket and pants felt dependable, comfortable, and ready for serious adventure travel. What I liked: •Excellent protection from heavy rain and wind during wet riding days in both Iceland and Northern Norway. •Comfortable enough for very long days in the saddle without feeling stiff or restrictive. •Worked well in dry weather too, with good airflow and easy movement. •Felt durable and confidence-inspiring on both dual sport and adventure riding conditions. •Practical pocket placement and secure closures made the suit easy to live with on a trip. What could be better: •Like most serious adventure gear, it is more substantial than lightweight casual riding apparel. •Riders in very hot climates may want to pay close attention to ventilation needs. Bottom line: I would definitely recommend the MSR Xplorer jacket and pants to riders who want dependable adventure-touring gear for unpredictable weather. This gear has kept me dry when conditions were wet, comfortable when the weather was dry, and protected throughout multiple trips. After riding with this gear in the Rockies, Iceland and Norway, I would buy it again and recommend it with confidence.

Super happy so far, have worn three times. Very comfortable while riding. I am tall and skinny, 6'1 and 180 lbs. Ended up going with a large and it fits perfect. I like all the pockets and vents seem to work well. Have only rode in 70-80 degree temps and was fine, will have to put a couple layers on underneath for 50-60 degree riding. Hopefully I never need it but did feel elbow/shoulder pads could be a bit thicker.

It's a very nice jacket, the lining is very soft, and it arrived on time.

Pros- cost, comfortable, lightweight, lot of vents and the removable sleeves are great. Cons- this thing is not waterproof or even close. Water resistant would be a stretch. First use was last weekend on a long trip where it rained a good bit and I was soaked. Very frustrating. Also just order the size you would normally order, I would argue that the size chart is a little off.
