These days it’s quite a task to make a big splash with new riding gear.
With the continued growth of the ADV/dual-sport segments, companies are rushing to market their versions of the ideal ADV jacket. The key word here is “rushing,” and many fall short of hitting their targets with what today’s riders actually want.
The Moose Monarch Pass was an excellent riding suit that got buried in all the textile madness back in 2014. ADVMoto tested it in just about every extreme condition possible, with high rankings in most categories. Keeping in the game, Moose took feedback from customers and media alike to enhance its newest version, now called the ADV1.
The ADV1 jacket took the best of the Monarch Pass and added a few welcome changes to take it to the next level, while keeping the price reasonable for the serious adventurist.

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.”
