Merlin Biker Collective Features Three Riders With a Love For Good Gear
When Merlin released their Biker Collective, we were impressed by the bold move of the brand. The concept was clever; what better way to shape a company’s products and get gear out there (while feeding quality vibes to the motorcycle community) than by picking three normal run-of-the-mill sapiens addicted to the twisties, supporting their rides …

[REVIEW] Richa Softshell Mesh WP Pants
When running errands or short rides, my default is to wear jeans. I don’t like walking around in heavy and hot riding pants. I am all for All The Gear All The Time (ATGATT), but I don’t always put it into practice. I am hoping the Richa Softshell Mesh WP Pants change that. Over the …
[Review] Richa Airstorm WP Jacket
Richa Airstorm WP Jacket: Warm Weather Comfort with a Waterproof Liner I can be a bit of a YouTube junkie when it comes to motorcycles. Over the last couple of years, I have followed several UK-based YouTubers (the Missenden Flyer and Richy Vida, to name two) that often wear Richa gear. Intrigued by the brand, …
[Review] iASUS EAR3 V2 Helmet Amp

[REVIEW] KLIM Marrakesh Textile Pants
My Riding Gear History Like many including myself when I first began riding, I had no issues spending money on a jacket. Back in the day how it ‘looked’ seemed more important to me than how much protection it offered. Textile riding gear was not a big thing and the only company who ‘seemed’ into …
[REVIEW] KLIM Marrakesh Textile Jacket
My Marrakesh Introduction Ugh, jackets. I have searched long and hard for a 12 step program for jackets. Bags too. The problem with both is they are legal to purchase, carry and wear be it in public or in the privacy of my own home. One of the only reasons I’m happy with my age-failing …

[REVIEW] KLIM Hardanger HTD Long Gloves

[REVIEW] KLIM Aggressor -1.0 Cooling Shirt
Being relatively new to motorcycling, the idea of special base layers was a bit foreign to me. As a fan of Powersports, I knew that MotoGP and World SBK riders had their base layers to go under their one-piece leathers, and being familiar with the Dakar rally, I knew that multiple layers for riders was …
[REVIEW] Gryphon Moto Indy Pants
Introduction I will start by saying I am all for All The Gear All The Time (ATGATT). However, I’ll be honest and say that I often wear most of the gear all the time, as I often switch out riding pants for jeans. I am hoping the Gryphon Moto Indy pants change that. The Indy …

[REVIEW] Raven Rova Raven Pants
