The Basilisk IR Jacket is our waterproof enduro-touring kit. It features removable armor and performance-focused materials, creating a highly breathable, super comfortable ADV jacket built for the challenges of round-the-world motorcycle travel.
The Basilisk IR Jacket is our waterproof enduro-touring kit. This jacket specializes in a balance of breathability, mobility, and protection, with a CE A-rating for abrasion / slide protection, and CE level-2 rating for impact protection with removable RHEON™ armor pads.
The Basilisk IR Jacket combines high-performance premium materials with minimalist design, and packs smaller than a traditional ADV jacket for stashing on your bike when things get hot.
This latest version for 2026 features refined construction to improve water resistance, updated YKK® Aquaguard PU-coated zippers on vents and pockets, refined forearm adjuster position, and comes in new Red Rust, Olive Night, and Dark Onyx color options.
Pair with the Basilisk IR Pant to complete the kit.
The Basilisk IR Jacket is designed to perform during athletic, technical riding through primarily off-road terrain in a wide range of weather conditions. It handles long transfer sections with ease and is now CE AA-rated for abrasion/slide protection.
We took the Basilisk Jacket's proven shell performance and fit developed over the last seven years and added integrated and removable 3D RHEON™ LABS body armor. This makes the Basilisk IR a waterproof, super-breathable, and now more versatile and protected ADV jacket.
At its core, RHEON™ is an energy-absorbing superpolymer. Soft and flexible in its natural state, it intelligently stiffens when subjected to force. Made to feel invisible, its designed to flex to the curvature of the body for an adaptive fit. One of the unique elements of RHEON™ is its patented algorithmic design and 3D printing process. The combination makes it both lighter, and more protective. The unique cell packing allows for better impact absorption while allowing air to flow naturally around the rider, making RHEON™ armor the most breathable protection on the market to date.
The included CE Level-2 armor pads are easily removable, allowing the jacket to convert into a lighter-weight and more packable shell for use with separate body armor. The updated 3D design improves the anatomical fit and helps keep the armor in place during a crash.
The jackets rip-stop body fabric is a highly abrasion-resistant 3L PFAS-free eVent® fabric with Direct Venting™ Alpine ST technology. Heat and water vapor move directly through the air-permeable membrane, allowing your body to breathe freely and stay comfortable. With a 30,000mm on the water column (100 feet of water pressure), an MVTR of 10,000 g/m/d, .06cfm air permeability, and a DWR coating to keep you dry in wet conditions.
We have storm flaps on all external zippers to increase the Basilisk's ability to shed water. In high abrasion areas like the shoulders and elbows, we feature SuperFabric® ceramic platelets on a 600D waterproof/breathable overlay for added strength. With double-layer fabric, you can crash repeatedly and still stay dry. The main closure front zipper is top-of-the-line water-repellent YKK Vislon Aquaguard: they won't clog with dust and grime and are easy to operate one-handed with gloves.
There are two external hand pockets and two chest pockets, (one external, one internal), with six substantial vents placed strategically for maximum airflow. On the inside, we eliminated hanging liners entirely, reducing weight, bulk, and heat. In high abrasion areas like the shoulders and elbows, laminated patches protect the tricot lining. Vents and pockets feature water repellent reverse-coiled YKK® Aquaguard PU-coated zippers, with bonded and seam-taped storm flapping, to maximize water resistance.
This super comfortable jacket provides a balance of waterproofness, breathability, mobility, and protection, with a CE-AA rating for abrasion, and CE-Level 2 rating for impact protection.

The Basilisk IR Jacket fits true to size.

At its core, RHEON™ is an energy-absorbing superpolymer; soft and flexible in its natural state, it intelligently stiffens when subjected to force. Made to feel invisible when worn, its designed to flex to the curvature of the body for an adaptive and comfortable fit.

DV Expedition, eVent's burliest waterproof membrane, provides the ultimate in durability and all-weather protection. Delivering dry comfort in the widest range of conditions and providing the greatest waterproof protection without sacrificing air permeability. At its best when the conditions are at their worst.

The Basilisk jacket features flow-through vents to maximize cooling while taking on the most strenuous offroad riding in all weather conditions year round. Chest and side vents allow airflow through the torso and under arm. Arm vents add additional venting to keep you cool on every ride.

SuperFabric® is created by taking a 600d polyester base fabric and infusing tiny hard guard plates into the fabric. These guard plates have small gaps between each plate, keeping the SuperFabric® flexible for maximum comfort and protection.

The Basilisk IR is a well engineered high quality technical product that exceeds the needs of adventure riding. It's my one and only adventure jacket. It has several vents which makes it a great summer jacket but with a base layer it is also suitable for the early spring/ late fall Canadian riding season. It is well thought out with soft materials around the inner collar and neck area. The collar buttons to the inner shoulder to prevent them from flapping in the wind. The seams are tapped so it's 100% waterproof and it comes with an inner waist belt to keep the water out if you ride through torrential downpours. My only critique is that the cinches for the sleeves dig into my forearms when I bend my elbow to do up helmet strap or interact with comms on helmet. If I loosen the cinches so they don't interfere with elbow flexion the sleeves end up being a bit baggy. This jacket reminds me of Arc'teryx products back in the day before they became a fashion brand and when they used to design high quality technical gear for a specific purpose.
I’m a 64 year old man who just got riding 1,200 miles through North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming with three other friends in 6 days. I spent a lot of time researching the proper jacket to wear for this trip and while I own a half a dozen other jackets I decided to buy the Basilisk for this one. NO REGRETS!!!
I saw temperatures from 57 to 92 degrees. Rain, dust and sun, the jacket is worth every penny that I spent on it.
I never have responded to a request to write a review before but the products from Mosko Moto didn’t meet my expectations , they exceeded them. While they may seem expensive, I felt that I got great value for the cost and when asked to write a review for the product , I thought it was the least that I could do seeing how well the product performed for me this past week .

Recently returned from a weeklong trip in the Rockies. Loves the design and features of the Basilisk. Was waterproof, warm when sealed up and well ventilated when open. Tested the armor a few times and found it protected well, while still be lighter and more mobile than some of my previous gear. The downside was the lighter weight material was prone to wear and developed a significant wear area under my backpack. Hopefully this won’t affect its function. Might need to extend the Cordura yoke a bit? Would be five stars if not for the wear, but can probably be mitigated by other gear choices.
I've yet to run this jacket in the rain, but I've run it from the mid 40s to right around a hundred degrees putting in around 1500 miles over the course of a couple days.
Aside from the elbow armor straps mentioned elsewhere the only other thing I'd like to see is a second internal pocket.
It vents well. The jacket breathes very naturally anywhere there isn't superfabric.
Mosko got the concept of an outer layer right in my opinion. Not overly complicated or engineered. You can use the zippers and wrist adjusters on the bike. And it doesn't flap anywhere at 85 mph.
A solid choice of a jacket for sure. If it wasn't for the elbow straps, I'd have given it a 5.
