We are a Guildford-based internet seller of motorcycle clothing with a shop attached to our warehouse.
We started producing videos in Lockdown, but from the outset our priority was to try to educate people about bike gear and how it works. We also wanted to make our reviews as honest as possible, highlighting the flaws in a product as well as its strengths.
Our physical shop is small, yet the amount of merchandise we have over the three floors of our warehouse technically makes this the best stocked shop in the UK. But it is a different kind of shop. Less than 10% of our range is on display, and there are no prices on anything. Sometimes you have to wait in our Waiting Room until there is somebody free to look after you. Frankly, it’s not the kind of shop you visit merely to browse. Our aim is to help you find the best gear for your kind of riding. And we won’t let you take something if it doesn’t fit. If that’s the kind of service you want, come and see us.

My Klim Marrakesh easily go over my Daytona Road Star GTX boots, but no way will they go over my Alpinestars SMX 6 V2 GTX boots.
After reading a lot of the comments and not seeing this asked, I'll ask: Is this video (or your channel in general) sponsored by Rokker? If so please be honest about it so that we can make a more informed choice. Thanks for the great videos!
I came off my GS wearing a Nivala suit. A 70kmph low side. Simply ran out of talent. After I came to a halt. I simply lifted the bike up and continued on my way. Yes the pants were now with a gaping hole in them but the armour took the energy out of the crash. Great suit, comfortable, warm in the winter, fully waterproof but too hot in temperatures over 20 degrees. The armour size in the pants in the knees is a little too bit.
Awesome video! Very comprehensive and well presented. I have a pair of Klim Switchback pants and I always wear them. I do take waterproofs just in case. They are comfortable and look smart. I have had them for three years. BTW this video did not come up on my subscription page but on my home page. I am a subscriber . Maybe a KZread thing? Best!
I tell you. A pair of Rokker Legend jeans ( love the super quality BTW) I got from you guys are Hot as Hell in the summer here in the states. It is about 80-90F and I'm a sweaty mess after a ride. I gotta find something else.
Any thoughts about the John Doe single layer jeans. Nice material, triple A rating, loads of different smart fits and good pricing compared to the top of notch Roker.
Jeans are not always acceptable when you get to work so trousers that look smart casual are great for the office
The problem with that helmet is that I can't hear my engine as much as I'd like.
Kevlar y-fronts come to mind!
“Pants”,, Is this for the American market? I clicked thinking you actually had a range of skivvies!
Clearly you think you are in some way upholding the English language, but language is fluid. We talk about jogging pants, cargo pants and skiiing pants, whilst equestrians talk about riding pants, so what’s the big deal with motorcycle pants? Carry on like this, and people will take you for a retired public school teacher. There are no absolute rights or wrongs here; there are just views. You need to relax, and find something more worthy of your attention, because frankly pants vs trousers is a pretty tired debate, and one that, as time goes by, you are destined to lose! Skivvies, by the way, is an American term, so you need, at least, to be consistent! CP
@@Motolegends oh, I know what skivvies are, that was my point but it clearly bypassed your humour cell. You seem overly defensive about your use of “pants”, and it seems to have touched a nerve for some reason. I suggest you read my comment again and keep it in perspective. I’m a customer of Motolegends and my wife and I spend a lot in your store. Now, that doesn’t give me any special privileges of course, but I wasn’t abusive or derogatory, so maybe it’s you that needs to relax and wind it in a bit. Anyway, what’s wrong with being a retired public school teacher?
You were doing well calling trousers trousers until you got to the Marakesh 😞
Thinking to start riding soon, after I pass my Safety course and buy a motercycle of course. I want to be the safe I can so longs boots is something that I should go for correct?
Can we use it for extreme winters
Klim is pronounced climb (note the dash above the i).
Schuberth C5 vs Shoei?
I wonder if the Defiant X is smaller or bigger than the Rapide
I think your first choice for around the world trip would be the Klim Marrakesh, right?😉
If Japanese & Germans make their helmets the same way they make their motorcycles then I'd go with the Shoei.
I went from Canada to Motolegends to get fitted with a helmet because i could not find anything in Canada or a store that cared about providing fitting or good service. Having seen their videos and commitment to fitting a helmet to a rider i flew to England to go to their shop. I was not disappointed Chris immediately had one of the staff use the PFS on me and spend a half hour fitting me. The helmet is great and very comfortable. I will always go back to see them when i need a helmet. Oh and by the way it was $500 cdn cheaper than buying the same helmet in Canada. I am a big supporter of Motolegends and their great service
I think the little see through pocket on the sleeve is meant for an ID or ICE card…Touratech and Klim both have these
As a fan of Moto legends I have to say..Sorry but why even bother stocking this brand or this item if this is the review you give it???
Because not everybody can afford a Rukka, a Held or even a Halvarssons. For some people this will be the perfect suit. We just want customers to know a product’s strengths and weaknesses. CP
I freaking love this review. Fully laying out both the pros and the cons, and not making excuses for the cons either.
I’m a big fan of Fuels Bunker jacket, very good values for money
Brilliant explanation.Thank you
That Rokker shirt interesting design. I need to source a rack/holder for my bike so I can carry an axe. But I suppose I’d not be able to ride through London, right?
“Summer” at the Arctic Circle or the Tropic of Cancer?
Klim Marrakesh is good for maybe 70-85degF. It does not flow as much air as needed in the hot SW USA. I bought it last year after your reviews. Then I decided on trying the Klim Induction jacket and pants as well. Much better about 80degF. In fact, I just returned today from 1800 miles trip from central Arizona up to SW Wyoming and back wearing the Induction gear. This morning at 9,000ft elevation campsite it was 58degF when I started. Had T-shirt, Klim Zephyr, Klim Induction and Scott’s rain jacket over it. As I dropped in elevation it started warming. By the time I arrived home it was 98degF and I was down to the T-Shirt and Induction jacket and it was tolerable.
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing!
I’ve done a 1000km in a full GoreTex jacket under 34 degrees. As long as you’re riding it’s feasible. On my way back I had torrential rain and heavy winds, reason why I decides to wear this jacket instead of my simple Mesh. Good decision!
Still no Knox… still no agreement.
I was really hoping he’d talk about Knox too as he does such a nice job detailing riding gear.
Half of these jackets, are not suitable for hot summer days. Nice jackets yes, but impractical for hot rides...
Common sense is not an absolute given today but top quality, Knowledgeable, expert advice from someone who is passionate about their subject is without doubt pure gold. I hope to see you very soon. Thank you.
Do you gents across the pond never wear the Klim Induction Pro? The sizing is huge but then thats room for layering.
He's the best motorbike dealer and supervisor
£569 for the Rokker Black jacket….erm, no thanks.
I'd like to match Brema with Brema AA pants
Gossamer????? Are you saying it’s rubber Johnny thin? 😂😂😂
Hi,why not include prices as at time of making the video?
Driving traffic to their website….
This video is waaayyy too short, mate
Sarcasm?
Could I book an appointment / time slot?
We don’t take appointments. Just turn up any time. We’re open 10am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday.
Came for jacket reviews and learned about science of sweating😅
Nice selection of jackets . . . for men. C'mon, Chris, how about a mention of women's jackets? Several of those styles you displayed have women's counterparts. You don't even have to do a separate video.
Yes, good point. I will do so in the future. I suppose I wrote the script believing that women would not be watching a video about men’s jackets. I will do better. CP.
@@Motolegends My husband (also a rider) and I watch all your very entertaining videos. We've learned so much from them! I can now tutor riding friends on the nuances of armor, merino wool, single-layer jeans, laminated vs. drop-liner jackets, the differences among summer, summer-waterproof, and winter gloves, etc. I watch the men's new-item apparel videos on your youtube channel, then I go looking on your website for a women's analog. It's always a treat when Sara does a women's video. She's already sold me two jackets and several other items all the way across the Atlantic. Sometimes I have to wear men's items, either for sizing--my big feet only fit in the Daytona MStar, not the LadyStar--or for features--Klim Badlands Aero Pro gloves don't come in women's sizes. I can see that you folks are truly committed to bringing in quality women's gear. I just like to needle you a little. Keep up the wonderful videos--we'll be watching and buying!
I just bought a riding shirt… two days ago, just missed me. Still love my Berring Norris! Highly recommend
The best review of this kit on the entire internet. Well done and thank you!
Very informative. Thank you.
As a bit of trivia, it is surprising the difference in comfort between a white (light coloured) mesh jacket and a black mesh jacket when riding in 38C temperatures in Queensland. Interesting variety that you covered. You do a good job on these videos.
For me it isnt suprising at all. Black cars get significantly more hot in the sun than white ones. Ships are coloured white so the a/c doesnt have to work as hard. Common knowledge honestly.
@@XxAdminChllaxXLeaves one to wonder why so much of summer motorcycle gear is only ever sold in black.
@@TeslasSecret I agree.
Thank you for all your helpful reviews! I bought the Klim Marrakesh Jacket and Pants as my first riding gear and you are completely right with the comfort of it and the flexibilty with the layering approach. Im always happy to put it on and riding in it, as you dont even notice it after a few minutes. Please do keep in mind that you need at least some parts of the layers always with you to be prepared for a condition change, so you will at least need a somewhat big tankbag or something similar. The Scott layers dont pack that small, but i always have those and the zephyr with me to be prepared, as i dont want to ride cold or wet, so my tankbag is always 70% filled with only that already. Still, no regrets on my decision to buy it - comfy, flexible, good looking and easy to put on even with a normal office outfit under it (jeans, tshirt and sweater). Just one quick note about the video production: I do find it a bit strange to see camera angles where cap doesnt look into the camera, it feels like this could be improved easily. The different angles could then be used to show the gear from other perspectives or close ups. Still, im looking forward to every new video of you. Thanks again for the great content! ❤ Best regards from germany
What's happened to the halvarssons light grey coloured merino base layers with the orange stitching btw??
That line discontinued. Replaced by Comfort Outlast which is same (without the orange lines)! www.motolegends.com/motorcycle-accessories/base-layers?Brand=Halvarssons&
Great info as always..thanks Chris. That waistcoat plays havoc with my HDTV..😁 .
Great review!!
