Been using these since late 2019, over 50K miles of riding later and they're still the best ADV pant I've ever worn. 11 BDR's, the Continental Divide Trail, rain, snow, mud, sand, rocks, and everything in between!
I just did a ride & camping trip of 7.600 km this summer. I didn't expect to make use of the air vents in Norway but as it was up to 31°C they made my day. They fit very easy over my Alpinestars Toucan boots without opening the velcros at all.
I did the Pyrenees ACT a few weeks ago and also used the Mongolia jacket and pants. Really a great combo when coupled with the Baltic Hybrid and Aqua Pac jackets as well as British Army laminate rain pants. The temps ranged from 4C with rain/sleet up to 35C. Was perfectly comfortable in all conditions.
i tested them (Atacama) and was surprised that the mesh lining that hold the knee protections could move a lot, to the point that the knee protections got systematically on the side of my knee when i bend my leg. i love the idea of having integrated protection instead of my big knee braces when i m traveling, and the airflow of this pants was awesome for something that can get closed when it get cold. If you could get an eye on that, i would be happy to buy them again ! :)
Thanks Simon, if you'd like to suggest any changes to our gear we actually have this section on our site now! www.adventurespec.com/product-development
While I really like your holistic approach to clothes layering and think that some day I may have actually have some of your kit (I'm in Oz, so fingers crossed), I'm really not sure about the snap buckle on the outside of the pants. That looks like an ideal place for branches/scrub to snag on while going through thick vegetation or woods.
@@adventurespec makes it difficult with sizing and returns if they don't fit , I watched your sizing video and seems the gear needs to be tried on before buying.
When are these going to be available in the US? I love my Mongolia jacket. I have the Atacama non-CE, but want to move to an over the boot with CE protection rather than using knee/shin guards.

You mention that velcro works poorly when it's wet and muddy, so why not use a strong zipper as the main closing mechanism as well as velcro when you need a quicker closing and opening?

do you have any logistical problems? I sent the Linesman jacket to a warehouse in Belgium on September 5, 2022 and it was picked up by an AS employee on September 7, 2022. For 11 days, Dave Logan has no information that will allow him to send me a new jacket😔
Hi Krzysztof, sorry to read this. Dave is working on sorting it out and will get back to you over on the email conversion you're currently having Thanks
With your design background can't you do something about the logo. It's one thing that has put me off some AS gear and seen me go elsewhere. I don't want big bight blue logos on black or other colour items. I don't want 3-5 logos per item, and worse on something like the Atacama race pants, I don't want a big rubber/plastic backed in flexible logo on my thigh. I want to support AS and the range is coming together nicely but some things are still a little rough around the edges. The single track jacket really doesn't need 4 logos. Just one discreet logo on the front (not baby blue), the reflective areas on the arms and back would look better as just a series of lines.

Do they have a storefront in the US ?? Ordering some soon, the buckle on the pants is a big deal. Enjoy your videos and journey!!
@@lw8447 they do not have any storefronts. You can return them if they don't fit.
I' ve been wearing them for 2 years now. In mud, rain, sand and hot conditions. And I really believe in it. It is worth for the money!
Thanks for that Ralf!

Thanks! 😊
This is exactly what i need.I'll add it to my next year shopping list!
Good stuff 🙌
I'll be using my Mongolia jacket and pants on a trip to the Pyrenees this week.
Excellent! Have fun
are you happy with the performance?
@@Niki_Parvanov In very warm or hot weather they're excellent, anything cooler and I use a light weight jacket as well.
Love mine! Make a comparable jacket! I'm going to keep bugging you guys until you do it
They look / sound great. How about some air vents down lower (just above boots) for improved airflow while sitting?
Hi Scott suggestions are welcome here! www.adventurespec.com/product-development Thanks
