Scorpion Yukon Jacket And Pants

I’ve always been one to groan about bulky, cumbersome gear. When I first saw the Scorpion Exo Yukon suit I thought it looked like futuristic riot gear and I would be walking around like a mech warrior.

Initially, that turned out to be true, and several people expressed the same sentiments. It was stiff at first, and while also breaking in a new pair of boots, I walked around like Robo Cop. This didn’t last too long, and the suit began to loosen up after a few rides. Some of my testing took place at March Moto Madness, in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, an area with water crossings, hill climbs, fire roads, lots of mud, and various temperatures through elevation changes. This type of riding made me a believer in what some would call excessive gear.
