Klim Marrakesh jacket in petrol blue Product Information

New for 2023, this is an updated version of the Klim Marrakesh jacket which has become our favourite summer jacket here at Motolegends. For us this might just be the ultimate, lightweight, summer jacket. In concept, it is similar to the Rukka Forsair, but it betters it in a number of areas.

The outer fabric of the Marrakesh is a 1000 denier woven Cordura. The fact that it does not have a waterproof membrane means that it will flow large volumes of air although, in the margin, we would have to suggest that the knitted Cordura of the Forsair will flow more. But made of stronger material, we would expect the Klim jacket to be more abrasion resistant and, with its four-way stretch, probably more comfortable to wear too. Unlike the Forsair, the Marrakesh does have a waterproof coating, but with it's loosely woven shell, in five minutes of proper rain you are still going to get wet!

This new version of the Marrakesh now has D30 Ghost armour in the elbows, shoulders and a level 1 D30 protector fitted as standard in the back. All the rest is really detail. We're talking about pockets, reflective panels, comfort linings, and so on. Obviously, if it rains, you'll need a waterproof, but on a hot day this jacket is going to take some beating. We have always felt that there were perhaps slightly too few sizes on the Marrakesh and on occasion people would fall in between those sizes. This year, Klim has added a waist adjuster cord which should help solve this issue.

CS: Fantastic

I have used this jacket for a few months and it is a fantastic piece of kit. It lives up to the hype and I would really recommend it to someone who is looking for a great touring jacket. I just layer up as advised for colder or wet weather.

Chris G: Very comfortable and well constructed

I absolutely love this jacket. Very well made and just breezy enough to help keep you cool without compromising on the protection. This sizing is more of a comfort fit and is roomy.

John G: Superb jacket

My leather jacket in warm weather was just too hot, even with all the vents open, it was time to move to a summer mesh jacket. Safety and airflow for me was paramount, having read lots of reviews,the jacket that stood out was the Klim Marrakesh. I opted for the armour upgrade and bought a medium. Be aware the sizing is very generous, my kodiak jacket is an xl. Its definitely the best motorcycle jacket Ive ever owned, its extremely well made, comfortable, stylish and the armour feels very light and stays in the correct position. The jacket really keeps you cool. At temperatures circa 25C, at times I was a little too cold. The Klim zephyr compliments the Marrakesh when you require a little more warmth. Great service from Motolegends.

Steve: Superbly comfortable but get your sizing right

This is possibly the best jacket Ive owned. Its lightweight but reassuringly robust, incredibly comfortable and nicely styled. As other reviewers have mentioned, sizing is important. I am a 41 chest with a flat stomach and the sizing guide suggested a Medium. A Medium actually felt too big and sloppy and looked that way too when I tried it on. The arms were also too long. I guess Americans prefer a looser fit than us Europeans, but a small fitted me perfectly, even with a Zephyr wind shirt and a Rukka down jacket underneath. Im not saying that you have to size down, but you really do have to try on a couple of different sizes to see what feels best, if you can, as otherwise you may end up settling for one thats not right, just because your measurements suggest thats the one for you. Close fitting works for me as there is masses of stretch in the material. The jacket has hem cinch cords in the pockets and the chest pocket has a key retainer on a loop. I upgraded the L1 armour to L2 as thats a no brainer and I couldnt notice any difference. Theres a credit card pocket on the left sleeve and the sleeve zips allow you wear gloves under or over the cuffs. So read the other reviews then go to ML, have a coffee and try this jacket out!

John: Most comfortable jacket

The most comfortable bike jacket I have ever worn, good protection without weight and excellent breathing. Using with Icebreaker merino top, Klim Zephyr, Belstaff long way up down jacket and Tucano waterproof, so usable in most conditions. Next working day delivery by Motolegends, great service as usual

Findlay: Worth the investment

Took the plunge and ordered this from Motolegends and this is a game changer as far as Im concerned with bike jackets. You would hardly know you are wearing it as it is so light and flexible and ideal when the temperature gets into the high teens, under that then layering is required and i went the full Klim route with the Maverick and Zepher layers. waterproof jacket is taken care of by Scott. So far Ive only used the kit in the summer months and its stayed dry and all Ive required is the Zepher wind stopper under the Marrakesh jacket So far very impressive kit however you do lose on storage compared to a conventional textile jacket but otherwise there is nothing to complain about

John: Second to none ...

Klim is what Klim is what Klim is. We all know how good their gear is. The jacket is great, lives up to the hype and praise and the video on this site. Now my go to Summer jacket and an integral part of my layering system. This review is more for the service which, was and is second to none. Notwithstanding the fact that the shop had several customers, I was made to feel like I was the only one in there. The staff didnt just listen, they heard and advised. No hard sell. My go to place from now on. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Jim Williams: Klim Marrakesh Jacket

Very nice and comfortable jacket in petrol blue. Looks the part on an adventure-style bike. Good quality and appears robust. It does not flow as much air as the Rukka Forsair Pro, which I also have, but it is warmer when the weather is a bit cooler. The sizes are overly large I am normally an XL but had to replace it for a L and this allows for layering. I can comfortably wear a base layer, Rukka down jacket underneath without any restrictions and if it gets wet, then my Scotts on top. Overall, Im very impressed.

Paul: Most comfortable jacket in 45yrs of motorcycling

I took the plunge and bought this jacket as part of Motolegends recommended layering system with the Klim Zephyr wind proof shirt and the Scott waterproof jacket. Having returned from a trip around Belgium and France as the first true test of my new gear I also bought the Stadler 4All Pro pants I can say the system works. 5hr ride in continual rain, no problem. Chilly day, no problem with my heated jacket underneath. Warm day, I can honestly say that this is the most comfortable jacket, whilst still giving good protection, that I have owned in 45yrs of motorcycling! I always thought my BMW GS jacket was well vented but the Marrakesh is another level of airflow. Worth every penny, thanks Motolegends!
