Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the days are short and the nights are long. If you’re fortunate enough to enjoy any sun rays during winter, they’re typically long gone before happy hour. These conditions frequently lead motorcyclists to opt for four-wheeled transport. Once warmer temps bring riders out of hibernation, French gear manufacturer Ixon is ready to outfit them for the 2023 riding season.
The brand’s Akro textile pants won’t shield the rider from frigid conditions, but the proprietary XDRY3L material still seals out spring showers with a waterproof yet breathable XDRY laminated membrane. Taped seams reinforce the fabric’s weather-resistance qualities but the lightweight construction doesn’t promote ventilation or insulation.
