Anyone wearing KTM riding gear?

[wheeler23]

Was wondering if anyone was wearing the race light pro jacket, the race comp jacket, or the hydroteq offroad pants? Good gear? How water proof is it? Anyone know who makes these for KTM?

i have the pro light jacket. good jacket at an unbeatable price. i have yet to wear it through water but it keeps me warm when its cold and keeps me cool when it's 100 here

A friend of mine asked 'Do you get free KTM gear when you buy a KTM? Cause everybody riding KTM seems to wear it'

And that is exactly the reasons why I didn't buy it. I have heard the rally suit is pretty good though.

I own the race light jacket and its a good jacket for spring on my 300 and the odd short trip on the adventure but it lacks protection needed for me to want to take it too far. I like crash protection and that's not really its purpose.

I own the adventure HQ pants and jacket as well and it's what I wear the rest of the time. It's a really well built jacket and pants that are nice and waterproof but it has the cheapest zipper pulls you'd be ashamed to have on a $10 windbreaker. Broke 3 of them off in the first week and probably should have returned the suit. It's a shame because the rest of the suit is so well built.

I have the hydroteq pants, so far they seem good. Never really exposed them to heavy rain so cant speak for the waterproofness. Good venting and can be opened very far to fit over mxboots.

One problem i had is the rubber that the buttons at the waist are attached to fell off, so i only have the velcro and the zipper. But it works.

I have Street EVO jacket (2012) and rally pant (2012). Jacket has permanent rain liner between mesh interior and outside. Also came with removable zippered thermal liner. Has CE armor in the usual places. Pants are good. Comes with removable rain liner and separate thermal one to. Jacket and pant zipper together although separate products. CE armor (knees only) in pants are crap (do not cover knee area very good). I removed them and just use skateboard-type pads. Botth appear to be fully waterproof, although I have only ridden in t-storms and not all day in the rain. Zippers are easy to use w/ gloves. Pant pockets are positioned well and when used are not noticable when riding. Jacket collar could be taller/softer.
Jacket might be a little warm on the hottest of days...90'ish.
I give them both a thumbs up for style, function, and craftsmanship.

I just got the Race Comp jacket. Claims to be waterproof but I doubt it. My needs are a jacket for cool mornings then when I end up off-road afternoons in the desert I want protection and venting.

I took the elbow and shoulder armor out of it and wear a Vanson 1000D full vented armor under it and when it gets hot I zip off the sleeves. I wouldn't go around the world with it but it works for me locally. It looks like it will shed light rain or low clouds when riding in the mtns but not in a downpour.

In the cooler months I will put the armor back in and skip the Vanson.

It's a little brighter than I want but figure the vis is good on the street.

Quality seems decent, not great like my Klim gear but not crap like my old Fly gear which is well designed but poorly made with very crappy zippers.

I have the KTM rallye jacket and pants. Both fit me well and are great for the riding that I do but they are definately not water proof. Plenty of room and pockets, good ventilation but they do get warm in the summer months. Also I prefer my pants over my boots - not tucked in.
I wear a neck brace offroad so the zip off neck is a bonus. Jacket keeps the brace in place. After 3 years the zips are still functioning well but the orange on the shoulders has faded significantly which would be my only complaint. Fabric is still perfect tho.
Sure there are better outfits/sets out there on the market but for the $$$ I dont think you can beat them... oh and i have the over jacket rain shell from KTM as well which is 100% waterproof but that was an ebay steal at $2...
