Proper motorcycle rain gear needs to comply with a number of criteria. Getting in and out easily is one of them, just like a practical storage capacity when it stays dry and the waterproof properties when it doesn’t.
This Ax Dry over-pants by Modeka comply with the entire list. And more. It even finds a very interesting combination partner in just about every Modeka motorcycle raincoat.
The exterior is made of PU. Waterproof and comfortable. Not a feeling of plastic fabric but rain pants like they should be and even good enough to be seen in. We’re not talking about visibility in this case, which is excellent by the way, thanks to 3M-Scotchlite™. We’re talking about the desire to be seen in a garment that was once right below tarp, next to the garbage bag and maybe at the same height as a party poncho. None of that with the Ax Dry. You can go places in these.
On your way over there, you don’t have to get injured trying to get into the rain pants, either. Modeka has supplied the Ax Dry with long zippers and wide flaring pant legs. Practical, when you unzip everything, as well as when you try to close the whole thing up again after you’ve gotten in them.
There’s a cargo bag on your upper leg. The only things left to mention are the pack size, the delivered storage bag and its light weight and then you’ll be sure that these belong to the better rain pants from the range. Certainly, at this price.
The Ax Dry is unisex and thanks to the elastic strap around the waist – obviously in the right size - it fits quite roomy.
