Klim layering system

Paul: Marakesh jacket

Excellent jacket very comfortable and light weight with Excellent air flow. Highly recommend

Rich: Great jacket, and very pleased overall

Very pleased with this jacket and bought it to replace a Merlin vented jacket that was just too vented and too cool in most UK conditions that I ended up wearing a thin down jacket under it all the time! Everything else has been said about quality so I wont repeat it. But practically I think this jacket is great and, of course, pairs well with the Klim Zephyr. In my experience so far, on warm UK days 18-25 degs, the Marrakesh is fine on its own. If its much cooler than that you might need a Zephyr or extra base layer at faster speeds. On recent trip to the Pyrenees it was 34-36 degs and I was still too hot in this jacket, even with just a merino T shirt underneath, and was left in a sweaty mess. But how often do we get to ride in those temps! Most of the time this jacket will be perfect with layers and is now my go to piece of kit. In my experience, sizing is out. I normally wear Large UK size - 511 32-34 waist 42-44 chest. The L Marrakesh was way too big, baggy, square cut and didnt look or feel right. The medium was a great fit on the shoulders, chest and arm length but it was a bit snug around the waist which was the opposite to the Medium Zephyr - baggy on the belly, tighter on the chest. I opted for the Medium on balance and will just have to get a bit smaller around the waist. Worth bearing this in mind if ordering online. I understand now what Chris means in his review about not having enough sizes - the jump between M and L is quite significant. I ordered the multiple sizes and returned the unwanted items to Motolegends with minimal hassle. Great service as always from them and you cant fault the customer service and delivery speeds. Buy one in the right size and you wont be disappointed.

Simon: Simple but effective

I already owned one of these wind shirts in blue but it was too large for me these days - so I downsized to another one in this light grey colour. These wind shirts really do work and theyre so light that they fit under any jacket. Theyre also compact when youre not wearing them and so dont take up much luggage space. I find mine particularly useful when Im riding in a ventilated summer jacket and its a bit cooler in the early morning or later in the evening. The wind shirt is also smart enough to be worn off the bike without looking like Im a biker.
