The Basilisk IR Pant is incredibly waterproof and incredibly breathable. The body fabric is a highly abrasion-resistant eVent Expedition 3-layer, using eVent's proprietary Direct Venting™ technology. Heat and water vapor move directly through the air-permeable membrane, allowing your body to breathe freely and stay comfortable. With a 30,000mm on the water column (100 feet of water pressure), an MVTR of 10,000 g/m/d, .06cfm air permeability, and DWR to keep you dry in wet conditions. It's the only air-permeable riding pant we have come across and has the highest waterproof ratings we've ever seen. Double external storm flaps and internal guttered construction provides high weather resistance in the heaviest rains, while maintaining maximum ventilation.
The Basilisk IR Pant features integrated RHEON™ LABS body armor, helping the pant remain breathable yet protected in a wide range of conditions on extended trips. At its core, RHEON™ is an energy-absorbing superpolymer. Soft and flexible in its natural state, it intelligently stiffens when subjected to force. Made to feel invisible, its designed to flex to the curvature of the body for an adaptive fit. This gives RHEON™ Armor impact protection exactly where it’s needed, while maintaining total comfort. What makes RHEON™ different is its patented algorithmic design and 3D printing process. The combination makes it both lighter, and more protective. The unique cell packing allows for better impact absorption while allowing air to flow naturally around the rider, making RHEON™ Armor the most breathable protection on the market. You can stay cool and stay focused, even on the toughest of days. RHEON™ Armor is protection that doesn’t feel like protection at all. It is lightweight, comfortable, and cool – with no compromise on protective performance.
The knees feature added Super Fabric® ceramic platelets on a 600D waterproof/breathable overlay for added strength and durability. With double-layer fabric, you can crash repeatedly and still stay dry. Our zippers are top-of-the-line water-resistant YKK VISLON® AquaGuard®: they won’t clog with dust and grime and are easy to operate one-handed with gloves. Two cargo pockets on the upper thigh keep your essentials close at hand or provide quick stash options when off the bike.
To keep you cool, there are six vents: two knee scoop vents, two fold-back thigh vents, and two large exhaust vents behind the leg. Open all the vents in hot weather and let the cooler outside air envelop your upper thigh.
On the inside, we eliminated hanging liners entirely, reducing weight, bulk, and heat. Laminated patches protect the tricot lining in high abrasion areas like the knees and lower leg. The leg openings are cut extra wide to allow for plenty of room to fiddle with and adjust your boots. And they’re adjustable, too, with waterproof internal gussets and overlapping Velcro flaps.
Weight of garment: 4.0lbs /1.82kg (size 34, with armor pads), 3.2lbs / 1.45kg (size 34 with armor removed)

Crash Care Program
I bought my Basilisk jacket and pants around September 2020 and have worn them as my regular riding gear which I have grown to really like (even though the jacket waist is tight on my lady hips). Fortunately/Unfortunately, I haven't had a real rain incident in all these months, a few sprinkles here and there. Last weekend we rode for 5 hours in Northern California from Klamath River to Crescent City, in a pretty steady rain. Sadly, I was drenched, especially my butt & legs through my "freeze out" & light long johns. My top was also wet through my "freeze out", but my heated gear kept the water off my body. My husband, in his Klim Bandlands was bone dry. Needless to say I am very disappointed in the lack of water proofness. This was as good as my cheap HD rainsuit or my cheap Bilt jacket/pants had performed years ago. On a high note, our Mosko bags kept our stuff completely dry.
Hey Pam,
If you could please reach out to our Customer Service Team at moskomoto@moskomoto.com. We'd like to chat further with you to see if we can make this right.
As it has almost been a full year since I got the jacket and pants kit.
They both work fantastic on their own or wearing as a kit.
The venting works great on hot days and the kit keeps me dry in downpours.
everything is well thought out. with nothing flapping around on high speed road miles.
Others have noted scratches on gas tank. I noticed this too.
But,
After washing bike scratches were gone.
Well Done Mosko.
I purchased a size 34, I’m 5’9”, 180 lbs., 30” inseam, 33” waist. These pants fit me perfect. The material is is so tough, it’s probably going to take several rides to break it in. Just finished a 3 day, 600 miles trip on my T7, 75% off-road and these pants were flawless. Even through several 20” water crossings, I stayed completely dry. Had to wear some insulated compression pants underneath to keep warm because these things are meant to breathe...but survived 30 degree mornings just fine. These are not the pants I would pick for long cold rides on the highway though without adding more layers. Only one improvement suggestion...to keep the knee from being so stiff, maybe stop the black knee fabric short of the inside knee at the vent zipper opening. I found that the tough black fabric protrudes toward the bike while standing up and down, it snags the Nomax tank bag straps...can also see how it will rub the tank hard. Awesome product though!!!
I have had the Basilisk pants for one year now and have rode in them in every season here in Colorado, including the COBDR and during the summer in Moab.
These are the best pant I have ever owned! They have kept me warm and dry in the winter and have kept me nice and cool in the summer. My riding partners have a number of different other brands that cost significantly more, and while they are super hot or adding layers they look at me jealously... all I do is open or close some zippers. I have crashed multiple times in the backcountry and the pants have Performed and survived flawlessly! These are the pants you want! Way to go Mosko Moto!
I am form Ecuador and I have had some other pants, but I've been looking for a comfortable pair of pants that are not bulky and difficult to try on and the best part do to the geography of our county, you can go from 35º to 5º Celsius, form dry to rainy or humid, all of this in less than 2 hours, so the vents are so handy and easy to open and close. I highly recommend the pants, I love them. It could be some minor improvements, but the guys at Mosko sure will find them.
