Motonation Pursang Jacket and Phantom Pants

Budget riding gear continues to improve, the best of which reach above their price points to offer comfort, performance, protection, and value. A name you should know in this market is Motonation. As the North American importer of Sidi and Forcefield, Motonation certainly knows high-quality motorcycle gear and they’ve chosen to put their own name behind a collection of gear which can stand proudly with their other offerings. The Pursang jacket and Phantom pants are Motonation’s four-season adventure touring options which I’ve had the pleasure of testing over the last few months.

Both the Pursang jacket and Phantom pants start their construction with a 600-Denier polyester-reinforced at the shoulders, elbows, forearms, knees, and inside of the lower legs with robust ballistic nylon for additional abrasion resistance. All the zippers are quality YKK bits with robust pulls for easy use when wearing gloves. Stitching is clean and precise throughout, with double stitches in some areas, bar tacks, and reinforcement gussets in high-stress areas. Motonation aims for subtle branding; only one logo is present on the exterior of the jacket and is color-matched to the material on the sand version. Hi-viz and black colors have contrast stitching but you won’t feel like a walking billboard when wearing them.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS

It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES

Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
