I have no idea about this latest effort from Moose. It's new here, I've only seen a few ads in the mags.
But Moose are not new. They've produced riding gear (for dirt bikes) for 20 years or so. Perhaps they are new to the UK? US AMA Enduro champ Dick Burrelson started the company ... not sure if he still owns it. He is a legend in US off road/Enduro here.
They make everything and now have branched way out. This product is them trying to go UP MARKET with the likes of KLIM and get BIG money for average Chinese stuff. They DO have a few good designers there ... so lets see if the latest jackets are any good ... and worth the money.
Like most everything now I'm sure the Moose jacket is Made In China ... (or India, Pakistan, Vietnam or Korea).
I had a Moose Enduro jacket years OK. Before the term "Adventure" was ever in the MC lexicon. It was just a sort of fancy windbreaker, big enough to fit over your chest protector. Good for Desert riding but NOT waterproof.
Here I am with this HUGE Moose jacket (really just a windbreaker with pockets, vents and some other features) Bought it on sale for about $50 or so. This in mid 2000's, Black Rock Desert on my former XR250.
