    Thanks so much for this video, the difference between these two jackets is exactly the question I have to determine right now just before christmas ; ) I was hoping you would cover how small they pack down because I'm on an ultra-light adventure bike (crf300L) and in the end, that wound up being the determining factor for me, with soft panniers, camping gear and etc. Very useful video!

    Update on use of the AS Singletrack Jacket except from advriding (and daily dog walks). Been using it on my MTB about 90 days in a very rainy autumn, I can just emphasize that this jacket is so versatile due to it's very light weight. A kevlar reinforced jacket isn't bad on an MTB and in traffic. A jacket like this definately has a greater value than just a motorcycle jacket, nothing that I expected before using it but a feature that makes me very happy!

      Thanks JD, I'm doing well and hope to keep up mood with a ride or so more this season :) It was very interesting to compare the jackets and still are. I'm sure that Mosko and AS have an healthy and collegial eye on each other. Thats my impression. Happy trails JD, hope all is well on your side too.

    Great video on both jackets Mattias. It is great to hear your experience and opinion on both. I thought you were very honest and fair in your comparisons. It's a bit like motorcycles, there is always a compromise or at least a choice for our needs. It is great to have two excellent products which are designed by and proven to work by adv riders for adv riders.

      Thanks Ray, I must say that the Singletrack jacket value as a outdoor jacket can't be ignored. Used all this rainy month every day when bicycle to work, such a dual use jacket! As you say these are to jackets with the same purpose but slightly different. What to not like with brands that You actually talk with the guys behind it when you call 👌. Take time and are interested in You. Since they only have their own web shops and, I thought it could be helpful to make videos on the garments, even if they have great support and excellent size charts.

      It is great that you highlight these products for adv riders who intend going off-road a significant percentage of their adv riding. It’s important that riders appreciate the layering concept used by both companies. Mountain hikers and military personnel have been using it for years. However, what is very important IMO is the materials MM and AS use which work differently than Gortex for waterproofing and sweat wicking. More details on their UA-cam channels. Anyone who does a lot of off-road riding knows how quickly you heat up and touring kit is just too heavy. That’s why the layering system works so well. I appreciate some people may focus on the price but in my experience, you get what you pay for.

      I agree on this, it's not touring set up's in first case. But i prefer layering even at that type of rides. I've used layering for 10+ years for advriding and as You say, the layering principle have been used for ages in outdoor activities and as well the military model of how to gear up. Regarding breathability and water/rainproofing, i need to test myself and get a clue on how it works in practical use. So far so good even if these type of materials and advertisments gets to a point where you could desire more out of breathability. Both jackets has proven rainproof to me in an excellent way. Th openings in the MM jacket makes it vent better, but time will see if that feature keeps be rainproof. Taking care of the jackets is cruisial to let them take care of you. Most important thing is, a layering system must be actively layered by you. Layering will only be as good and comfortable as how active we as users are to optimize i during the rides different circumstances. Thanks for your input and insight. Always fun and interesting to elaborate on this subjects, thats at least why i let my self do the "cat walk" for you... :D

      @@ray8328 This video with Dave that you linked to is a must see, not only because Dave Lomax is so british fun but also since he is pedagogic and informative on the difference in materials. I can only cope with the part of function on how diffetent these jackets are in how windproof they are. MMB airs from outside and ASS does not thru the fabric. I can clearly feel that. Whats difficult though to get a clear idea on is how breathable they are in a given situation to compare difference. I need more close tests to get into that detail, which not really are the primary reasonnwhy i slung my leg over the bike at time for advrides 😁. But I will try to pay attention to it, and this is definately a very desirable feature since we all know that we get warm on the singletracks with adv bikes 😂. But the again the layering principle, roll and stuff away these jackets if it does not pour down rain. 👌

    Thanks for taking the time to undertake this review. I've had both jackets, ended up returning them both. I like the AS for the weight and general forward design, just not a big fan of the color, and I have a Klim that does what the AS does, so no point. I thought the Mosko was OK, but it felt heavy, probably close to my Klim Badlands without the armor, so no real advantage. I thought their pants were just dangerous, minimal abrasion protections, very strange sizing, weird cut, sent them back too. My opinion is Mosko needs to go through some evolutions before I get interested in their clothing again. I am fully on board with the layering system, it started for me in Mexico in 2018 and I haven't turned back since. BTW, we have 6 more episodes to go on "Vikings" - now I have to go back and watch your history tour this summer, especially the part at Bjorn's grave site. I hope you are well - Cheers🍺

    • @Braapncamp
      @Braapncamp  3 роки тому

      Thanks Shayne, much appreciated comment and insight. A great thing with Klim where i live is that my very close dealer have experts on Klim's garments and are very professional as a contact for questions and all gear is present to be tested and tried in store. It is easy to get an idea that Klim makes great products and have a wide range of different type and philosophies in their gear.
      I have never tried Mosko's pants, unfortunately or stupid since i have had the chance a coupl of times when we (Basecamp North) have arranged for their road show here in Scandinavia. Thats a bummer as arranger, you are all in the arrangement. Hopefully many others took the time to test though. Good thing is that they have a great possibility for customers to test the gear at home. The series Viking is addictive even if the first seasons are the ones i like best. Combine the series and read more of the individuals pictured in the series is interesting and even more addictive. It gives a perspective of things and how power at present time are related as well, that one maybe did not reflect over before. Happy that this catched the interest of part of the sites i visited at my tour. All of them are related though. Skål! ;P

My conclusion though is that if i only had one jacket or outer shell for everything, the Basilisk is in it's own leauge for motorcycle adventures. On the other hand the Singletrack is a jacket that i use everyday in my off bike life in rouge weather. Thats what I think the Rak do great as well. Happy Trails!

    I tried the AS Singletrack. It's without doubt a well made and well constructed jacket. However I just don't understand why for the price they don't include pockets for armour, should you not have an armoured base layer or want to wear a non-armoured base layer. I would have kept the jacket except for the relatively small wrist openings that meant it was very difficult to easily insert the cuffs of anything but thin summer gloves. A small but important feature as when it's raining most of us would want to wear gloves tucked inside the sleeves.

The jacket i choose was even ceaper than a goretex rain jacket, i just used a totally waterproof rain jacket from the 80-s as outer layer if raining or if it was needed as a windstopper. At that time i really wanted to move in this direction. To rather stop and get of a layering when warm instead of stop for layering up when itvstarts raining. Ofc this was a matter of cost and possibilities when it was time to update my gear. It was simply time for cgange as well and i could not be happier eith gear like this.

  • @MrEtnorb

    My problem with these jackets is their huge cost. That MM jacket costs nearly $800 in Australia plus freight, for what is essentially a rain jacket. I have a 100% waterproof Revit rain over jacket for less than $100 that does the same thing. In a crash, my Revit jacket would be ripped and then useless and I imagine the abrasion materials in the MM jacket would be better and have better ventilation but you would be relying on wearing body armour to lessen impact injuries.
    I have also had Goretex jackets for years and despite the claims of breathability, if it’s humid or warm weather with showers, they are too clammy and uncomfortable. I still prefer to wear jackets with inbuilt armour with outer Goretex fabric. They are heavy and a bit too hot in warmer weather but I believe the armour stays in place on the forearms well in a crash. Unfortunately I know this after crashing mid last year.

But everything is down to what makes me curious. Thanks for your comment Krzysztof!
