As the company i review for has limited stock due to the holidays I decided to take it upon myself to review some of my own purchases. Namely the Akito Desert jacket and Pants (or trousers if you’re English). The Desert suit is an all weather, all condition touring suit designed to handle anything that nature or the avid motorcyclist can throw at it. I managed to pick the full suit up for around £200 ($350) at a dealer near my house who shipped them in for me. The Akito brand is Japanese and as such, the sizing is a little different. I found that ordering a size up was best for me (as with most of my gear actually… now I feel insecure).

I bought both parts sometime around early October as the weather in England was starting to get a little chilly. Both items do zip together however I found that I hardly ever use this as I normally wear the suit on my commute. In the 2 months that I have had these I have done around 1500 miles in ALL WEATHER! Snow, frost, severe flood causing rain, heat and whatever else nature would like to toss my way.

Both pieces of the suit have the same setup in which they have a resistant, windproof outer layer (textile), a fully waterproof liner and inside that a thermal layer. For the most part I have had all layers zipped in.

Wow! I found this song today (don’t ask me how) and as i was listening to it i realised that it had so many double entendres it was unbelievable. I am not sure whether this was the intention of the song,  i somewhat doubt it but nevertheless i felt that i had to share it with people on here.  So, without further delay – here it is:

By the way, the band is called Vertical Horizon and this is their song “Everything You Want”. This is a serious band guys, check out their others songs.
