Adventure Riding Gear on Budget? YUP... Jacket & Pants ≈ $80!!



We managed to beat the original deal we had found. I'll explain... reiterating from our last blog post...

 


...In a recent article it (linked at the end of this article) we covered our best priced per quality finds for almost an entire ADV riding / touring kit. That's jacket, pants, gloves, panniers, tail and tank bags, tent, sleep pad, sleep bag, stove, pans, knife, fire starter, life straw, first aid kit and cargo net ALL for $568 US bucks. Developing the gear list required a great deal of research in order to find products that were not only affordable but also had quality materials and consistently good reviews. By our reckoning and the reports of those who picked the gear up... I do believe we nailed it.


And remaining in that vein of 'stupidly affordable' info...today is not only a beautiful Saturday shaping up its also the day we add another fairly stellar product to the list.


 

This above was referencing a pair of adventure pants we found for $29. It had epic reviews. These articles are linked at the end of this article. BUT CHECK THIS OUT... I think we have it beat now...

Fully armored, waterproof, vented, 600D H-Tex with removeable liner, as is the CE armor as well. & FREE PRIME SHIPPING!


Here's the US Market link...
 

CANADIANS... I FINALLY HAVE A LINK FOR YOUR MARKET TOO AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE!!



and now for the pants...


Fully CE armored (also removeable), waterproof, vented, 600D CORDURA and 1000D at stress points. Removable liner. & FREE PRIME SHIPPING.


Here's the US Market link...
 


Many of these 'suspect' brands have so many fake reviews...

...that they receive an F. Both of these companies have great review grades ( B+), which is one of the many reasons we suggest them as an alternative to the wildly overpriced mega-brand gear. Here are personal reviews of some of those products...

What is 600D or 1000D Cordura anyway?

About those numbers and letters, you may have seen our last post on tent fabrics where we broke down the meaning of their fabric references. e.g. 68D 190T 4000mm Tent Wall. Check it out if you haven't and that sort of thing interests you. When it comes buyin' time you can save a lot of money by understanding materials.

 

If you re interested that post is entitled

 

In the case of Cordura it's the same as with other fabrics such as nylon and polyester. The D stands for Denier which is a unit of measurement that tells the thickness & weight of a single thread used in making it's respective fabric.


 


For reference, here is an example image from the tent fabric post:

≈ Hi. i am a single thread ≈


No matter what the fabric is made out of-which in this case is POLYESTER-- it starts with a thread. For further reference see below that a 40D thread is 2/3 the weight and thickness of a 60D thread...

≈ Hi. I am a single 40D thread with my friend a 60D thread ≈

 

From there the post goes on to explain the rest of the story-- the T reference, Ripstop technology, waterproofing etc.
