The blouson-style jacket fits comfortably loose and reaches over the bum with its stretchy waistband. Together with the raised rear of the Moab trousers and their waterproof inserts, you are well protected from mud and spray even in nasty weather. Only when the airier trouser legs are completely soaked do the trousers feel a little uncomfortable on the skin. The thighs and upper body are kept warm by Primaloft insulation. We were able to heat up the trails to just below freezing with a long-sleeved vest. For warm knees, however, a three-quarter bib had to help out because the padding ends above the joints due to the zip-off legs. When you're dripping with sweat on the climbs, the underarm ventilation provides light cooling. The trouser legs can be unzipped to make it easier to get on, but remain on the legs during the ride without rubbing against the cranks. Slip pockets on the jacket and trousers hold a mobile phone and small accessories. The stretchy cuffs tend to slip off the gloves.
