Good review Mattias. I have the Atacama, the same jacket it just has more room for a neck brace. I actually don't use the armor it comes with rather an Alpinestars Bionic Tech V2 Protection Jacket inside. AS is coming out with their own armor soon as well. I used this jacket in Baja, Mexico, temperatures were mid to upper 30 degrees Celcius, and riding in sand/ off-road for long days, it was fantastic. AS is really going in the right direction.
Thats great! I will do the same, use my bodyarmor. I have preordered / kickstart supported the AS coming bodyarmor. Looked like it could be good, but i've liked more protection at the lower sides. My earlier camo jacket was also a rally jacket with the upperpart removeable to get room for a neck brace. This Mongolia jacket feels like a Jersey.
Great review of AS Mongolia jacket. I debated between the AS Mongolia and KLIM Baja S4 layering system. The AS jacket looks like a more robust design. If I am not mistaken, the Klim Baja S4 armor is only CE Level 1. This jacket would be worthy of another UA-cam review indoors with closeup view of material, construction, body armor, and other features. Thanks. Kam
I agree! I just got that in my mind when i released it I could have showed more of the fearures and materials close up even outdoors. Bummer. I just didn't remebered it while i made tve video material. I could take more close up photos and share on IG to complement this video. That will be next week then, i'm inte woods right now. Thanks for your comment buddy!
🤣 I had max. 100 kg last year as well before I decided that this is too much weight, Mattias. I'm now between 88 and 90 kg so before I ordered my AS gear I had to measure the right size. Instead of XL my Mongolia Jacket is now in L and I love it. In hot summer conditions I just wear a short arm shirt below made of Merino wool. In colder times of the year I'm adding the mid and the outer layer and it's all from AS: Mongolia Trail Jacket (L) Mongolia Trail Pants (36, regular) Baltic Hybrid Jacket (L) Singletrack Jacket (XL) Linesman Jacket (L) Baltic Insulated Jacket (L) It's cold and rainy so little rides in the moment. And yes, the colours are just great. Safe rides, Bernd 💙💛🏁🤛🏼
Worth a look! Alot of work and thoughts behind AS gear. Yheyvare vwry informative on their website which i have linked to below. I have a couple of more videos on the gear coming up soon. Happy trails!
Has there been any news on the Adventure Spec body armor you mention here? I can't seem to find any info about it. Great review btw, I'm very close to getting a Mongolia jacket myself and it's nice to see that it's useful up here in the nordic climate as well.
Thanks! Yes the AS SuperShirt is going to be announced in a week or so! I got an hint on that, very eager to place an order. Will see what it will cost me first. I used that Mongolia on an all day ride on a AJP PR7 lately, in the end I was getting warm in the woods, it was so nice to take off the SingleTrack Jacket as outer shell and only ride with the Mongolia. In a sand pit with some laps there I was very happy to have the high vent jacket.
@@Braapncamp Now that's some interesting news! Looking forward to see what they've come up with but pricing will definitely be important there unless they really do something special. I also got word from them that there is a new colour coming this summer for the Mongolian (blue of some sort), but I'm not sure if I'm patient enough to wait for that. But yeah, what you're describing there is exactly what I've been looking for in a jacket to be honest. I'm 100% sold on the concept of having a well ventilated jacket with options for layering and there aren't many jackets that can match the Mongolian it seems. Heat is in my opinion the hardest to deal with when riding, especially when things get rough, so it only makes sense to start with a jacket that handles heat well and work from there.
Yes it is a good idea. I also have the Mosko Basilisk jacket. That is something in between. It is better vented than the SingleTrack so You can keep it on for longer. But ifc it is not as vented as the Mongolian. Mosko and AS has similar philosophies but has some differences in details. I Like both of the set ups. With Mosko Basilisk You may need a Jersey over the body armor and take off the jacket if you get hot. The Mongomia works as a Jersey but has abrasion protection.
@@Braapncamp Yeah, Mosko definitely seem to be doing some interesting stuff as well. I'm also a bit curios about the Revit Territory Jacket as it sits in a similar spot to the Mongolia as an offorad-oriented mesh jacket (just without the back armor) but like with a lot of motorcycle gear there is a severe lack of reviews so I'm having a hard time finding any info about it, making the Mongolia a safer choice.
Regarding the protections in the Mongolia, if You are used to a bodyarmor that fits tight on yiur body you will feel that the pack protection on the Mongolia has a loose fit. I like separate bodyarmor and want to replace mine that i have had for years for the AS supershirt. Only positive with the protection in the Mogolia is if You use the jacket as a to go jacket commuting to work or similar. It is definitely made to be combined with separate protection. But with that said, it works. Since I use separate protection with the Mosko jacket i have kept the protection in the Mongolia jacket. Butvthat will hopefully change. Cool though to just be quick with the jacket 😁
Hej, ja AS säljer enbart från sin hemsida. Ingen tull då de har försändelse från EU-lager. Jag har inte returmerat något, men jag kan tro att det fungerar smidigt. Har man frågor om produkten så kommer man lätt i kontakt med AS utvecklare och frontfigurer direkt. Dave och Greg. Skall bli bli intressant att använda Mongolia jackan när värmen kommer, med Singletrack som skal när det behövs.
The Linesman jacket looks less mesh'y than the Mongolia and more comfortable in mid temps. Not only war/hot temps like the Mongolia. That should be concidered and direct to where you make the choise. It looks great as well.
Hi, no. I would not use this jacket as my outer layer in cold weather like now (5°). It vents right thru it so the warm layer under will get a hard time to do its job. I would say that this sunny day jacket or jacket for hard advriding, needs a outer shell jacket as a complement. See it more like a tough jersey with protectives. Since i normally use a protective layer, i either will take the protectives out of this jacket or more use this jacket as grab and go on shorter trips. I would really liked to had this jacket at my summer trip combined with the Single Track jacket.. It was too warm with the set up i had and this jacket had offered me better comfort.
I figured you'd need 3 jacket layers in colder weather. An outer shell to stop wind/rain and let the warm mid layer do its job should do the trick. Thanks for you reply :)
Yes, that is the perfect set up. The warming layer should be a fleece or loft jacket layer. I have used fleece until recenly. Now a much lighter, warmer and packable loft jacket layer that also doubble up as a pillow, since it packs down in it's own pocket. Closest to body a base layer in merino or bambu. You could ither skip a separate protective jacket and use the Mongolia as both, or rip out the protectives from Mongolia jacket and add a layer with protectives a'la MX style. I will do both ☝️👀👌
Another informative review Mattias I did consider this jacket but decided to go with the Knox Urbane Pro Utility MK2 jacket as I've used their armoured shirts for a while now. I went with the Knox because of the Class AA protection which was available to purchase at the time of buying before a TET trip. The design of the AS jacket looks like there may have been a little more thought towards adventure riding in mind than the Knox 👍🏻
Thanks! Just looked it up and seems very similar in function. Same price range as well. I know ny lokal dealer has it. The AS Mongolia is also AA. Lots of cool gewr out there for advriders nowadays 👍. Like that alot.
@@Braapncamp you're right some companies are making some really good gear with some very technical materials and the range of layering means a lot to choose from Klim and Mosko Moto make some fantastic gear to but sometimes hard to get in the case of Mosko and they make the Adventure Spec gear seem very reasonable price wise
@@gnarlybadger690 definately, i think they have a hard time all of them with supplys at the moment. I will compare the Singletrack Jacket to the Basilisk within short, i thought that could be interesting for those who are into a choise between these or the layering systems.
Det är en bra fråga, AS marknadsför det som lätta trail kläder och inte som optimala för övervägande asfaltkörning om jag har snappat upp det rätt. Men som vi vet kan det ju bli en del sådant och då är det ju en säkerhetsfråga som man måste förhålla sig till. Jag själv drog i princip aldrig ihop de tidigare kläderna fast det gick, sedan bytte jag byxor men inte jacka och tvärtom och då föll det ändå. Givetvis är riskerna stora vid en marksyning. Vare sig Mosko eller AS har denna funktion. Jag har dock löst kroppskydd under så jag hoppas på att det sitter tillräckligt tight för att åtminstone hjälpa något om nu jacka vill åka upp.
Såg att du hade XL ( 115-122 chest cm enligt guiden), sett den del som har XL o är ganska "tunna runt 111cm" så att säga, vad har du för chest cm ? , själv ligger jag på runt 120, och enligt deras mått så säger den XL..hmm
Jag ligger på 114-115 och har utrymme i jackan. Lurar ju på den nya Super Shirt (ett kroppsskydd) som de planerar att släppa närsomhelst, bra att du frågade för nu fick jag mätt 😂 och jag undrade just hur jag skall tänka med storleken på den. Den skall ju sitta åt på kroppen tycker jag. Samtidigt så brukar L kännas litet när jag provar på diverse kläder så jag tror inte jag vågar gå på L.
@@Braapncamp Hej och tack för snabb feedback. :) Ja, Svårt det där med storlekar, samt hur man ska tänka. Köpte en knox urbane pro mk2 igår (3XL) satt bra på kroppen med man blir ju ganska stel då den satt åt, men efter lite funderingar hemma, så kände jag nog att ryggplattan satt inte åt kroppen längst ner i ländryggen (i övrigt bra), utan löst o var lätt att flytta på med handen =/, så blir nog återköp. Funderade då istället igår på att köpa Mongolia med dess skydd, men som du beskriver i videon, bröstskyddet saknas och kan nog vara bra vid ADV-körning.
Ja jag har ju ett separat kroppsskydd och det sitter ju betydligt mer tight. Dock utan ryggskydd som jag har separat. Båda skydden ör det butesdags för. Kroppsskydden i Mongolia rekommenderar jag bara för lite körning till och från jobb. Axel och avskydde är ok. För mer aktiv körning så är ett separat skydd under denna jacka det rätta. Så tycker jag mig AS uttrycker det med i deras layering princip. Detta just för att få en bröstplatta och åtsittande ryggskydd. Kollar med spänning efter deras Super Shirt.
@@Braapncamp Ja, ska bli spännande och se hur Super Shirt. kommer att sitta, kanske något mer slimskydd och inte speciellt "bulkigt", men har inte hittat någon info när det skulle släppas, kanske blir sent i höst/vinter =/ Sitter med fingret på beställningsknappen just nu :P , XL verkar passa mig bäst, kanske XXL om man har text SuperShirt under, men risk då att armar o midja blir som ett tält, då jag mer är grov på överkroppen (tränar en del), vilket ger en del nackdelar ibland vid kläder.
Det är ju lätt att byta om man behöver, även om detr nätbutik. Grejenr ju bara den att det är jäkligt trökigt att skicka tillbaka grejer när man vill ut och använda dem 👀😂🙌
Håller med! De är sluga de rackarna. För de olika plaggen komplettar varandra allt för bra. Men man får välja en linje som passar det klimat man mest kör i.

Thanks! Longing for some hot weather so i can use it in it best element 😁👌 🍺🙌
Väldigt intressant jacka! Tack för bra demo, Mattias.
Ja, det har verkligen en unik uppställning av funktionella lager på AS. Det har arbetat fram egna tankar i hur man kombinerar sitt ställ.
Good review Mattias. I have the Atacama, the same jacket it just has more room for a neck brace.

I can't decide between the Mongolia or the linesman 🙈
Linesman looks great, never tried ut so i can't compare.

but I would think the linesman is better for me.

Någon idé bakom varför man inte kopplar ihop byxa och jacka genom t.ex. dragkedja? Ingen risk för att jackan åker upp vid marksyning på asfalt?

Nice looking jacket 👍
It is for temps above 20°C, warm condigions only on its own but with outer layer/s its a great combo even in colder temps.
@@Braapncamp I can imagine that it’s nice when riding technically riding in high temperature.
