Top off-road riding equipment – Klim Mojave race pants
Most of the equipment available to the long distance off-road Rally-Raider is designed for short hop motocross. What might work well in a 45 minute mad dash on a full bore ‘crosser doesn’t always turn out to be too comfortable when flogged for anything upto 2000 clicks off-road in the hot and humid Cambodian Countryside. And don’t get me started on the fashions. Why do most MX guys seem to want to paint themselves up like a colour blind MC Hammer, and lettered up like an advertising billboard? I prefer something a bit more subtle. So I was absolutely delighted when I came across the desert range of gear by Klim, fully vented riding gear, built to last and available in colours that don’t glow in the dark. My Klim Mojave race pants have survived a month on Enfields in India and a further month on an XR400 in a very wet and muddy Cambodia. And not so much as lost a stitch. The venting works great, with most of the top half of the pants made out of meshing, letting hot air escape and air flow through when your on the move. Ideal for riding in Asia.
