Basilisk Pant 2023

The Basilisk Pant gets further refinements as it takes on a true 2.0 redesign as our waterproof/breathable enduro-touring kit for long-distance, multi-day trips through primarily off-road terrain. It combines high-performance materials with clean lines and minimalist design. With an articulated fit for freedom of motion and easy layering, the Basilisk Pant is designed to work with separate armor systems for superior protection and better versatility. It packs smaller than a traditional ADV pant for stashing on your bike when things get hot.

The Basilisk Pant is incredibly waterproof and incredibly breathable. The body fabric is a highly abrasion-resistant eVent Expedition 3-layer, using eVent's proprietary Direct Venting™ 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), with an MVTR of 10,000 g/m/d, .06cfm air permeability, and DWR to keep you dry in wet conditions. It's the only air permeable riding pant we have come across and it has the highest waterproof ratings we've ever seen.

On the knees, we added Super Fabric® ceramic platelets on a 600D waterproof/breathable overlay for added strength and durability. With double-layer fabric, you can crash repeatedly and still stay dry. Our zippers are top-of-the-line water resistant YKK VISLON® AquaGuard®: they won’t clog with dust and grime, and they’re easy to operate one-handed with gloves. Two cargo pockets on the upper thigh keep your essentials close at hand or provide quick stash options when off the bike.

To keep you cool there are 6 vents, two knee scoop vents, two fold-back thigh vents, and two large exhaust vents behind the leg. In hot weather: open all the vents and let the cooler outside air envelop your upper thigh.

On the inside we eliminated hanging liners entirely, reducing weight, bulk, and heat. Laminated patches protect the tricot lining in high abrasion areas like the knees and lower leg. The leg openings are cut extra wide to allow for plenty of room to fiddle with and adjust your boots. And they’re adjustable too, with waterproof internal gussets and overlapping Velcro flaps.

Complete this kit with the Basilisk Jacket.

Basilisk pants

Great service from Mosko Moto.
The pants are top quality, tough materials, room enough for knee braces, good ventilation. Haven’t tested the waterproofing yet

Good pants but in the wrong price bracket

I have used these Basilisk IR pants for a few rides now and have mixed feelings on them. The fit and feel is good, the ventilation is nice, and the material is not stiff (almost soft). The only pockets on the pants are a bit tight and uncomfortable if you put anything bigger than your phone in the pocket. The zippers are all sticky and take two hands to operate properly.

Overall in comparison for other offerings in the price range these pants would not compare well to other companies products side-by-side. While I am hoping to buy some Mosko Moto bags I will not be buying more riding gear. If the price was $100 or $150 less I would be much less annoyed; but the price-to-product do not match in my opinion.

Mosko breaking their rules...

For ADV riding, having armor built into the pants is just much more convenient. Have used their unarmored jacket and pants for years, and still prefer the jacket in many cases since I take take it on and off and still have my armor. However adding pads under the pants was always a pain in the ass. Personally happy Mosko put aside their egos and came out with a full protection set of gear!

Basilisk IR Pant

These pants are a step above the previous pants I had. The fit and feel are excellent and they are much more comfortable, lighter in weight and less bulky than other brands with mesh lining to hang the internal armor. They fit true to size and have plenty of room without being bulky.
