The Flagship jacket in the Firstgear line, often imitated and never duplicated, it's the jacket that others aspire to be. If you could only have one jacket - this is it. With its exceptional fit and attention to detail the Kilimanjaro is comfortable in any weather, any season, anywhere, anytime. Battle-tested to the ends of the earth - and now in its third decade - it keeps you warm when it's cold, cool when it's hot and dry when it's wet. It's the multi-tool of motorcycle outerwear. Kilimanjaro, gear you can depend on.

  • To resist abrasion, shoulders and elbows reinforced with 640 denier nylon
  • Fully adjustable D3O T5 CE Armor in the shoulders and elbows delivers the same protection as standard CE foam armor, but is thinner and more flexible, resulting in a more comfortable, flexible fit - EVA dense foam back pad

  • Main closure held in place by a two way #8 YKK Vislon zipper, shielded from the elements by a double storm flap with rain gutter and secured using  spring snaps – inside the placket for easy access is a security pocket with a red slider for increased visibility
  • Collar closure utilizes a slider snap that allows up to 1-1/2” adjustment for a personal fit
  • Integrated  on the front chest are two cargo storage pockets to secure your stuff, protected from moisture by #5 YKK rubberized zippers
  • More storage in the two lower front cargo pockets – seam sealed pocket bags and an envelope opening, closure uses hook and loop – plus – there are two front side pockets protected by #5 YKK rubberized zippers
  • Compression straps on the bicep and forearm adjusts to fit you
  • Integrated into the collar is an under-the-helmet rain hood to keep water from running down your neck
  • One time adjustable waist belt with hook and loop closure - sleeve cuffs can be adjusted to fit you

Firstgear Kilimanjaro Jacket 4.5 5 66 66
Fulling all my requirements. Excellent product. Perfect in (almost) all aspects. Three seasons jacket. Many useful features (not too many) Attention to details in design and fabrication. Extremely comfortable. D3O protection of shoulders & elbows is great. Only negative: the jacket has no back protection but can accomodate one. I would have like to have D3O protection on the back as part of the jacket as it is currently sold. June 17, 2013
Happy with this jacket, and with FirstGear service I've had this jacket for about 5 months now, so it's time for a review. I'm liking it a lot. I haven't worn it in a heavy rain yet (only light rain) but have worn it in temperatures ranging from around freezing to about 75 degrees F, and it has performed well. In the cold it really protects you well, and in warm temps with the liner out and vents open the air moves through well, so I was only really hot at extended stops. The design is a little boxy, so you gotta be OK with the "adventure" style if you get this. I also have a Rush Mesh jacket for the real hot summer temps, and it has a slimmer, better looking design, but also has much bulkier armor, so I'm going to keep using the Kilimanjaro as long as I can into the summer. One negative is that the top (collar) snap never really held from when I first got the jacket, and after only a month or so, the second snap from the top broke from the fabric. I got in touch with FirstGear, and they were great about replacing the jacket quickly, and I haven't had any problems with the new one they sent me. I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend. June 4, 2013
Great deal, high visibility I have owned other motorcycle gear with protection and armor but this is the most comfortable jacket I have ever owned. The waterproof zippers are a nice touch. Plenty of pocket space and easy access. May 27, 2013
Almost a Great Jacket Great look, fit and features BUT, why the liner is not a weable jacket must be a cost factor (too bad) also, the velcro on the inner liner sleeve is a problem to balance out with different types of gloves, and the outer sleeeve velcro creates a lot of rubbing surface on your wrist. Not well thought out, and is an every day balancing out for getting the inner sleeve to accept different gloves and also match the outer sleeve to try to mitigate the seam edges from rubbing the wrist. First Gear, I will buy a liner that is also a jacket, I like the outer jacket that much ! May 24, 2013
Almost Waterproof Overall, I love this Jacket. I have ridden down to 30 degrees F and was plenty warm with the liner in. I have ridden on a 75 degree humid day and found the ventilation soothing and adequate. The only thing that I dont like about this jacket is that it is not waterproof. I went for an hour long ride in a moderate rain and found that the sleeves are not waterproof. It was almost immediately noticable. My stomach was also wet. I had the torso straps snug but still water got in. Being waterproof was a big seller for me, so I cannot reccommend this jacket. May 23, 2013
Great Jacket... Great jacket with an excellent design, features and solid construction. May 20, 2013
My Go-To Jacket I'm pretty much a Klim guy. Most of my gear for various types of riding is Klim and has been for quite some time. That said, I thought it'd be good to give my wallet a break and see what could be had in a more reasonable price range. Glad I did. This jacket's materials, quality, and features would all be very difficult to beat at the price. It dons easily and wears comfortably and safely. It's reflective panels are discreet yet show very well. Armor (D30) quality and placement are excellent and ventilation in easily and effectively tunable. The liner is effective when used with an appropriate base layer, though I've opted to go with Firstgear's Softshell Jacket as my mid layer for a bit more warmth on cold (>40°) rides. The fit is definitely American and a just a tad boxy... which for me is ideal for both comfort and layering. They also got the collar, cuffs, and cinching very right. Can't really see a downside to this jacket other than it makes me scratch my head wondering why it took so long for me to find it. May 13, 2013
"Good" Jacket, but not like other Kilamanjaro This is a good jacket, but I am very disaponted with the liner. My other Kilamanjaro has a nice removable liner that can be use as a light jacket. This one does not :( The Snap immediately broke on the first one I was sent. Revzilla sent new one no issue. Love Revzilla! May 3, 2013

I live and ride in Maine. I ride in the winter, too. There's little detail on how good the thermal insert is. A little more info here would help, Thank you! if if you would not recommend this jacket for winter riding in Maine (will be using at least 3 season, and 4 season if it vents well, as well), please recommend one that does better in the same price range. I'm looking for a high visibility one, too, so it should come in yellow, if possible. I'm replacing a black leather jacket.

Answer: 
It will probably be tested to its max in Maine, but if you layer it will probably serve you well. I commute 50 miles one way. I had not gotten cold til 3/4 of the way through my trip but I also didn't have good pants or windproof gloves. So I think this jacket will be fine, but this is my first heavy riding jacket.

Answer: 
Warmth depends so much on the individual rider and on the bike's wind protection. I get cold easily. When it gets into the 40's I wear a Tourmaster electric jacket liner under the Kilimanjaro. When it gets even colder, I plug in the Tourmaster.

Answer: 
I left the house one Friday at 34 degrees and rode all day into the evening. I wore my Firstgear Kilimanjaro Jacket all day and it was great, warm enough in the morning and was fine at noon when it got up to 64 degrees. It does run a little large, almost wish I had gotten a size smaller.

Answer: 
In the Pacific Northwest I have found my jacket to be comfortable to about 35 degrees upto 45 miles an hour. That is wearing just a T shirt under the jacket. Wearing a insulated shirt under would help with wind chill and differences in peoples body warm. Jacket has lots of adjustment and runs large. I have the Hi-Viz and is very good daytime, ok nighttime. The reflective strips don't show up very well in low light or at an angle. Piping or other would be better. I am planning on adding some reflective strips.
Have already gone to fabric store. This has worked well for other gear. Venting seems well designed. But have not used yet. Hope this helps. Bought my Hi-Viz and other gear at RevZiila.

Answer: 
Just picked this up (and reviewed) and did a good amount of riding this past weekend in NYC and Long Island, including high speed highway time. Temperatures dipped into the high 30s and were mostly in the 40s. I only wore a long sleeve t-shirt under the Kilimanjaro and was fine. Because the fit is pretty big on me, I could easily layer to up the heat - no need as of yet. It blocks the wind excellently. Haven't tested rain protection or opened the vents yet.

How would the 2012 Firstgear Kathmandu Overpants look and match up with this jacket, or is there an all black pant that would match up and look good with them? I would prefer that the all black pant have the same basic atributes as the 2012 Kathmandu pants.

The Kathmandu Pants would be a great option to match up with this jacket. For an all black option we suggest taking a look at the Firstgear TPG Escape Pants.

Details say that they cannot make a Hi-Viz jacket in Nylon. Does that mean that the shell for this years jacket in Hi Viz is the same as last years and you get no benefit of the upgraded material used in other colors.

Answer: 
Typically the High-Viz dye/paint/coloring is more expensive than other more standard colors. While the material may be less expensive the dye is most likely more. Unfortunately, at this point, the High-Viz was recalled due to color stay problems, so we won't see this option back for another month or two.

Answer: 
So if the Hi-Viz is the same polyester material from the old jacket and not the upgraded Nylon, why isn't the Hi-Viz cheaper than the other colors? Where is the price justification for last years remodel.

Answer: 
The sizing is the same across the board with the exception of the TPG series fitting a bit more "European cut". The Kilimanjaro is longer than the Rush Mesh, but should fit the same.

Answer: 
I have both of these jackets and have the same size in each. I am 6-4 and chose the XLT. The Rush mesh is a little more tailored cut and not quite as bulky as the Kilimanjaro. Both of these jackets fit me well and are very comfortable. I chose the Kilimanjaro first and loved it. When the temperature got up to 85 to 90 degrees, I came back to RevZilla for the Rush mesh. I still feel protected but much cooler at those higher temperatures.
