Chris, I once talked with a gentleman from John Rigby & Co. about restoring an old magnum length square bridge Mauser action from a 1910’s .350 Rigby (R), to a .375 H&H. The gents I dealt with remind me very much of you: total professionals and if they had an opinion, there was a solid basis for it. Keep giving this great content. Hopefully, I can cross the pond soon and come see you guys for some Rukka. 👍🏻

Halverson's/ Lindstrands Sunne - the membrane fall completely apart in the arms after nearly two years. Luckily i was driving in the rain before the two year warranty period and realized that the jacket was faulty. Just glad that i got my money back.

Good review Chris...so much great kit to choose from these days. One thing i think manufacturers should take into account is the placement of the vents on these jackets...myself and many of my friends wear rucksacks whilst riding and the vents are often obscured by the straps of the rucksack. Cheers Steve

I have the Klim Kodiak pants and jacket and I like them both very much. I would agree with Chris about the pants armor. I'm 6' 2" and have the size 56 pants. I have moved the knee armor to the lowest position and it is still too high in my opinion. Riding my BMW RT I'd say 1/4 of the knee armor is at or below my knee (in riding position) while 3/4 of the armor is above it; seems too high. For comparison, I measured the knee armor height of my Klim Kodiak pants to my Olympia Airglide pants. The pants are basically the same length. Measuring from the cuff up to the bottom of the Airglide knee armor I get 11". The equivalent measure on the Klim (remember the armor is in its lowest position) is 15.5"!! So I can position the Olympia knee armor 4.5" below the Klim knee armor. The only other observation I'd have is that the Klim velcro collar tab is too short. When I wear the puffy jacket and a heated liner it is very hard to keep the collar closed with velcro (neck area has too much volume). This is where the storm collar really helps out.

great review Chris. I never miss a video, that might explain all the MotoLegends Merchandise in my closet. I really like the new zoom in's on the details of the Jackets. LOVE it... with all the Jackets in my collection, I don't have a single Laminated Jacket yet.

Supplmentary: Returning to motorcyling at 70 after 6 year hiatus. At 63 i hit a deer at 100kmh. wearing a klim latitude suit (probably 1st version circa 2007). and d3o armor.and an 11 year shoei multitech helmet. Injuries: Broken clavicule,6 borken ribs,no concussion no abrasion except at velt level because jacket was unzippped from bottom for comfort. Jacket looked like i had been attacked in front by grizzly bear,helmet looked grinded with an industrial grinder. Deduced that if i had been wearing an air bag i would have walked away. Now looking for a jacket with enough room for expansion of alpinestar airbag,and also capable of wearing inner warm layer for early srping and winter riding in Canada.... ???will you deliver to canada???how about fitting without visiting your shop???

The Supervent has been discontinued, and we are not so keen on the jacket that has replaced it so, for now, Stadler doesn’t really have anything for us. We haven’t made a big announcement because we don’t want to embarrass Stadler. We hope that they will have something for us in the future because the brand is amazing. CP

Im amazed not to see arguably the best laminate jacket on the market which is the treasure pro , that jacket combined with the all 4 pants i just dont think it can be beat , its a shame to see the best not around , i would put the treasure pro and all4 pant combo along with there gloves and a pair of roadstar gtx boots up to any Pepsi max challenge against anything else out on the market , possibly the best outfit money can buy

Great reviews….. thanks 👍🏻😊 What would you recommend as the best option. I really need to keep warm because of arthritis in all muscles. The Rukka Nivala sounds great, but maybe too warm in the summer. Would love to be able to ride most of the year (except in snow) 😊 I have been looking a little on Dane jackets also…. But it is a jungle to navigate in 😵💫 I ride Africa Twin, so not too tight clothe, but comfortable and light for my muscles (i know i am difficult) 😂

J&s sold this jacket under the Lindstrands brand. I came very close to buying one last year, £299, I think, but could be wrong.
@Motolegends8 ай бұрын
They are basically the same. Designed by the same team, and made in the same factory. In Sweden, the names stand for different things, but not over here. We have always called both brands Halvarssons. It’s easier than marketing two separate brands that, from our perspective, are identical. Sorry about the confusion. CP
