Klim Marrakesh jacket in asphalt

Andrew Hamill: Klim Marrakesh

Very good in warm or hot weather. Lightweight and comfortable. Not at all restraining, gives great ease of movement. Well pleased with it.

Goncalo: All-Year Comfort, Surprising Ventilation, and Classic Style

Quick Summary Extremely comfortable, lightweight, and stylish with premium D3O Level 2 protection. Looks more classic than biker gear, works in hot and mild weather, and offers better ventilation than my armoured shirts, even at 38C. Could easily be my all-year jacket in Lisbon. Full Review For riders used to more substantial jackets, the Klim Marrakesh can feel strange at first. Theres a psychological sense of less protection, partly because of the soft, flexible fabric, and partly because the armour is thinner and lighter than what Im used to. My main criticism is that the armour coverage is smaller compared to my other jackets, which means I have to adjust it very precisely to feel fully comfortable and protected. That said, the comfort is on another level almost too comfortable, if thats even a flaw. Its just my mind playing tricks, as Im used to heavier, more rigid jackets that feel protective simply because of their bulk. In summer, I normally ride in armoured shirts like the Knox Urbane Pro because their open mesh construction seems cooler. But on the day I got the Marrakesh, I rode for over an hour in blazing 38C Lisbon heat and surprise! It felt cooler than any of my armoured shirts if that term even makes sense at 38ºC. I think its because armoured shirts fit snugly to the body, which restricts airflow, whereas the Marrakesh lets air move more freely. Verdict In Lisbons Portugal climate Im confident the Klim Marrakesh will be my go-to jacket all year round. Its comfortable, stylish, and performs better than expected in the heat.

Scott Walker: Excellent Comfortable Summer Jacket

If your a perfect Marrakech fit and size then the rating would be a 5, The jacket is very comfortable, flows enough air to keep cool in the warmer parts of the day and bearable in the cooler times, If additional layers are needed the stretch of the fabric easily accommodates, the jacket material blends comfort with protection and I took the L2 armour upgrade which helped to fill the sleeves with my skinnier arms

Gareth howells: Best summer jacket ever

Having watched the video review by chap in a cap, took the plunge as they were on offer one sundry weekend. This is without doubt the best summer jacket I have ever had, the comfort, breath ability and protection level is beyond anything. I have ever owned. My leather jackets are now just sat in the cupboard gathering dust because I just put this on, looks great on an adventure bike or super naked bike.

IanM: Klim Marrakesh - Does what is says it would.

Wanted a summer jacket with decent airflow but still good protection. Spent quite a bit of time researching the usual websitesYouTube videos to help me narrow it down. Liked the Motolegends review style, open and honest description and summary of the Marrakesh and decided to by one. Ordered a 2XL, turned up pretty quick from Motolegends but was way too big, so sent back for a refund and ordered another in XL. Turned up and perfect fit. Also ordered the L2 armour upgrade but this took a couple of weeks to arrive due to shortage. Jacket is brilliant, pretty light and excellent air flow as described. Not cheap but a great investment, suspect this will be my go to jacket for some time. I prefer laying to a heavy jacket so should work well with my Scotts and Zephyr. Great customer service from Motolegends as well.

Neil Greenway: Should have bought one long ago

This is not your regular mesh jacket. I have one of those and its from a well-known make that was bought in Florida some years ago and very good it is but the wind doesnt half whistle through it. This is where the Marrakesh is different and, ultimately, much better as it allows air to breathe through it rather than blow through it. The last thing you need is to put a jacket on over a damp sweaty undershirt and freeze, even on a hot day, because of the gale thats whistling through the jacket. Its a lot more controlled and even because all of the Marrakesh allows air through. I watched the Chap in the Cap review of the Marrakesh and, as usual, he was spot on and his philosophy on layering will, quite possibly, make this the only jacket youll need for at least 3 seasons, maybe even 4. The best money Ive spent on a jacket but be aware that, as its American, the sizes are a little generous so you might want to go down one size. Go on, buy one, you know you want to!!

Steve: Klim Marrakesh

Been thinking about this jacket for some time. When it came on offer in a Sunday sale, I took the plunge. So glad I did, its a truly fantastic jacket for what its designed to do. Having now used it, I would have no problem paying list price for my next one, its worth every penny.

Alan Nash: Klim Marrakesh Jacket

After reading all the hype and blogs about how good this jacket is, I decided to purchase one and motolegends were doing a brilliant deal on the price and I can honestly say the hype is correct best summer jacket by a mile and super comfortable. Read motolegends reviews on this jacket as its factually correct and if anything doesnt do the jacket justice its that good

Stephen Calder: Very good

Just as Motolegends describe, the jacket is versatile, very comfortable in warm weather, durable and perfect under Scotts in the rain. The sizes are on the large side, but this is explained, and I kept my usual size to accommodate an air vest underneath. Even then it is bordering on too large unless the vest deploys of course, but this does not hinder the rider as the jacket does not flap with just a T-shirt underneath. Highly recommended.

Paul Knowles: Klim Marrakesh

Very nice quality jacket and good especially good value on a weekend sale deal. Unfortunately the American sizing does not work me, as size small is very snug across the chest but a size medium is way too loose and too long in the body for me. Shame as its a very nice jacket. Motolegends service was excellent as always

Richard: Super comfortable summer jacket

I normally wear a Rukka Force Air throughout the summer but liked the idea of the Marrakesh being more comfortable and natural looking. It definitely is both of those things. I also really like the colour of the Asphalt version. It doesnt allow quite as much air through as the Rukka but its fine for most days. My Rukka is a size 52 large and I bought medium in the Marrakesh which fits fine. Only issue is the length of the arms as Im 58 and like most jackets the arms are a little long for me .

Tim Arridge: Top quality

An excellent item, highly recommended.

Terryf: Comfortable and cool

I had the original layering system from Motolegends with the Scott jacket and waterproof, worked well but became a bit tight somehow so I have been thinking about this jacket for some time. Well its everything they say, so comfortable and stretchy that you can layer easily, by far the best jacket aslong as your rides work with adding the waterproof and warm layers. I can see this being my main jacket for most rides

Neil: Size down

just arrived and although very very nice it is far too big for me , i would suggest you go a size down

Dave: Excellent jacket

I just love my Marrakesh jacket. I bought it primarily for a trip to Spain but find that its the jacket I wear all the time now as its just so comfortable. Ive adopted the layering system as described by the chap in the cap and found it works very well. Im still using the Marrakesh now in October with the right base and mid layers, and when necessary a klim zephyr over the top. Klim gear is not cheap but its very good. Its quality through and through and I find its a good fit for me. Add to that fantastic service from motorlegends and youre definitely onto a winner

Martin N: Klim-est

This jacket is Klim at their best. It does exactly as it says on the tin, allows air to flow freely to keep you cool, comfy fit and armour in all the right places. Usual excellent service from Motolegends!

Paul M: Fantastic jacket

Bought a few months ago for a summer trip to Europe and it is the most comfortable jacket I have ever owned. Bought the Zephyr to wear under it and used it a few times on cooler days at home in N Ireland. Currently in the Alps returning from the Italian lakes riding in temperatures up to 36c. The jacket has performed well throughout the trip. As usual the service from Motolegends was exemplary.
