Gear & Gadgets

In Australia I am wearing Dririder Rally 2 mesh jacket which is OK in hot weather but too fiddly to adjust when the weather condition change. As well I feel I can do better as far as the protection is concerned.

Klim riding gear has pretty good  feedback on the forums and the price is not over the top either. I like the idea that Klim jackets serve only as an external waterproof shell making it more flexible to mix and match with other gear.


Staff I wear:
  • Shoei Hornet helmet
  • Klim Traverse jacket over Acerbis Coerta pressure suit
  • For tropic Klim Mojave jersey over Acerbis Coerta pressure suit
