Motorcycle Base Layers

Wearing the correct base layers is one of the most important things to do when you are motorcycling. Too often customers spend a lot of money on a decent suit and then ruin it by wearing a cotton T-shirt! Base layers need to be a proper breathable material so they help you regulate your body temperature.  It is about keeping warm in winter, keeping cool in summer, allowing your body sweat to evaporate effectively and allowing your expensive suit to do its job properly. Even in winter sweat needs to escape to keep the body dry. And this is crucial because if you are wet on the inside, and the temperature drops further our bodies will lose heat 20 times faster through a wet environment than a dry one. The base layer is a building block in winter on top of which you need a technical mid layer.

Klim Maverick down jacket in petrol blue

Robin: Very pleased so far...

The Klim Maverick is for me the final element of the Motolegends layering concept. I have already put Klims Marrakesh and Zephyr jackets to the test, together with the Scott Ergo rain suit during a recent tour of northern Spain. The good news is those elements worked brilliantly well either in combination or individually to provide a comfortable riding solution for the prevailing weather conditions. Alas I have yet to put the Maverick to the ultimate test of wearing it underneath my Marrakesh whilst riding in cold weather. It might be early November here in the UK, but the weather is still unseasonably warm. What I can say is the Maverick is very lightweight and not at all bulky, its comfortable to wear and fits well beneath my Marrakesh jacket. In terms of warmth I have only worn the Maverick whilst walking, albeit not its intended use, but nevertheless it worked well keeping me plenty warm enough on a not so cold day. The Maverick also works very well as a destination jacket, the only clue to it being a motorcycle jacket is the brand name Klim. Whilst the jury remains out over its cold weather performance, the Maverick is looking good so far. Overall I am impressed with the quality and appearance of the product. Should it fail to live up to cold weather expectations I will update this review accordingly...
