Less can be more and the Surveyor suits my current riding

Motorcycling can involve a lot of cumbersome clobber but my lightweight Woodland Surveyor feels like it’s not there. I like it so much I might get the new one in ‘High Desert’. I had a ’21 Basilisk, also a great jacket but outside of mid-winter, for southern Morocco it was just too hot, even with all vents on and despite the greater perceived abrasion protection. When I go back in mid-winter, if needed I’ll just wire up my underused Ectotherm under the Surveyor,.
Without armour the Surveyor might feel skimpy, but I’m riding ‘location-appropriately’ across desolate mountains and deserts, not tearing about. The pockets/vents stay open under 1500m, though I do notice when guiding groups I’m not compelled to take if off as soon as we stop for a break. One thing I’d like is a bigger inside pocket for the phone & ppt, and more girth at the arm cuffs for that scrunched up ‘Miami Vice’ look on hot days. (I noted the new Rak pullover had this).
Less can be more and the Surveyor suits my current riding needs just right. (Jacket supplied FoC).

Great jacket that allows mobility. Perfect for Fall/Winter/ Spring riding in Southern California. The jacket does great in light rainy weather as well. Definitely recommend it.

Surveyor Soft Shell Jacket - perfect jacket for Southern California and Baja

First thing - I’m approximately 5-8,177 lbs, muscular build, 42” chest, 32” waist. The medium fits me perfectly over my compression Revitt armor jacket. It’s made of a stretchy material that works great as a windbreaker and with ample pockets it lets plenty of air flow. I also wear it after the ride when walking around town. It’s the perfect jacket for me for the Spring, Summer, and Fall here in Southern California. Outstanding amd useful jacket!

Preorder colors will ship before end of December 2023. Place separate orders for in-stock items to get them first, or all items will be held until preorders ship.

 When temperatures drop and trail riding is at its best, sometimes a hardshell is too much, and a jersey doesn’t quite cut it. The Surveyor Jacket fills that gap. Wind resistant and highly breathable the Surveyor Jacket is built for high output riding in cooler temps.

Made from durable stretch Cordura® for increased abrasion and snag resistance for those close calls and unexpected get-offs. While the 4way stretch materials offer unmatched comfort and mobility. Cut for a close to body over armor fit, the Surveyor Jacket can be worn with or without armor making it a solid choice on the trail or at the trailhead.

 

The Surveyor Jacket is right at home in the woods on long rides as the days grow shorter or chasing a receding snow line as the season gets underway. DWR water protection and wind resistance keep you comfortable in mild weather.

Two oversized mesh-lined hand pockets double as vents with flow-through venting. With one external and one internal chest pocket to keep essentials close at hand. Inspired by road and mountain biking bibs, the lumbar game pocket features three internal pockets for on-body storage. These pockets sit low enough to be compatible with our Wildcat Backpacks. Load them up for added storage on big days or ditch the pack and pair with a Reckless 10L.
