Went this morning to look mainly at the AKITO DESERT trousers, but also sneaked a look at the jacket at the same time. I’m looking at something to compliment my Rallye 2 jacket (haha! I know, from riches to rags), without forking out a lot of cash. They come in quite a bright desert white colour and a grey colour (which is not so black as to absorb all the heat in the world, without being dazzling white!).
Sizing wise the trousers certainly come up pretty small (it is a jap company). Normally I fit a medium/medium long trouser and I needed a large even round the waist with these. I sit at 5 11'/6 foot on a good day, and around a 32 inch waist in jeans.

The Akito Desert is a Rallye styled product, with three strippable layers and CE approved Knox armour. The fleecy/duvet layer inside looks like its high quality, the waterproof layer is a little plastic baggy, but what do you want from these things at £69.99. The finish is a very high quality with nubuck knee pads, assorted vents and mesh. The product is aesthetically very nicely finished, the trousers are very comfortable and the product looks good on….they don’t look cheap at all.
I have a couple of reservations…the material is the only thing which didn’t make me snap up a pair immediately. Its billed as 600d poly, but looks like the sort of thing which melts when you crash in it, obviously its not Cordura for the price, the nubuck also looks like it might me susceptible to burn out with a crash. The poppers on the waist band also don’t look that great, something which could really piss you off if they broke in the middle of a trip.

The jacket is priced at £119.99
The trousers are priced £69.99
