Surveyor Pant

They’re ok

Surveyor pants, built well, good materials, but the fit is weird, and sizing is odd. Waist measurement of 36 fits more like a small 32, and legs are like wearing balloons. I know they allow for leg movement, but this is ridiculous.

Top Product from a Top Company

Mosko Moto are my supply point of choice for gear. Top quality firbantop price but that is how I roll. I’m a sucker for the best quality I can get. I’m 176 cm tall. My inside seam is 810 mm. My frame is ‘light athletic’ and I try to keep in good shape so that I can keep good health, throw my bikes around and pick up my heavier GS when I mess up. I don’t like being too ‘precious’ with my gear. I own a bunch of Mosko kit including their absolutely fantastic Backcountry Panniers. Nobody does gear better IMHO. The Surveyor Pants (34 regular) were ‘running small’ so I ordered them (again) previously finding the 32s just too snug. The 34s were superb. The Surveyor flexes (especially in the crotch) better than my more restrictive Klim Dakars. The Surveyor breathes where I need it here in the heat of beautiful Australia. The leather knee protection is also superior to Dakar equivalent. Stitching and finishing on the Surveyor is also better than my Klim favourites. I like the ratchet closure on the Surveyor (Klim’s Dakars only have stud closures). Including some elasticity in the waist band area would be a welcome addition to both Dakar and Surveyor Pants. Klim Dakars win the ventilation battle. The Dakars win the pocket access design. That is so easy to access. I’m not sure the elasticity on the Surveyor pocket lining needs to be so stretchy. Any heavy item (knife?) sags slightly. I do pull on the Surveyors more than the Dakars these days. Both are good but Mosko’s Surveyor wins with some ease. In short, Mosko Moto is probably the best you will ever buy but you need to get the fit just right to get that ‘am I even wearing pants’ feeling. Mosko is that good. Yea, they are great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Surprising toughness

I am 5'10", 180lbs and ordered the Surveyor Pant (34) and Workhorse Jersey (M). They fit great, feel great, and protect great. I had an unlucky spill around 15mph on a local trail that broke my ankle and scratched up the motorcycle. Throughout the short slide, the Surveyor Pant and Workhorse Jersey performed above advertised and protected me from any abrasions. Not only that, but there isn't a single rip, seam separation, or hole anywhere in the Mosko Moto gear.
