It was Belstaff that first came up with the idea of a down jacket as a mid layer, but it was Rukka that made the idea work with its Down-X. Like the Down-X, the Maverick is made from 90% goose down and 10% goose feather.
The outer is made from a windproof material; it also has a waterproof coating. The jacket is going to be incredibly insulating, but the beauty is that, worn beneath a motorcycle jacket, it takes up almost no room. It is also easy to carry when it’s not being worn; in fact, the Maverick actually folds up into its own pocket.
The other benefit of a down jacket, of course, is that off the bike it can just be worn as a kind of casual winter top. It seems appropriate that Klim should have a jacket like this in its range because, in most cases, Klim jackets do not come with a thermal layer. The Maverick is therefore going to be the perfect mid-layer for just about any Klim outer jacket, although it will work just as well under any motorcycle jacket.
