Klim ' s Updated Range

KLIM is continuing their legacy of rugged , technical offroad apparel with redesigned Mojave gear and new XC Lite and Dakar series colours . Engineered through testing in the Rocky Mountains , USA , the deserts and race courses , KLIM says this gear offers durability and functionality that they believe riders have grown to trust .
KLIM says they are proud to help out competitive riders with their Racer Support Program , which re-opened July 1 , 2022 . Off-road racers with at least a year of experience are encouraged to apply for gear support in their race efforts . The program is meant to help ease the financial burden of racing for privateers who meet the qualifications of the program .
KLIM off-road gear is equipment designed specifically to give riders the tools they need to have the best experience possible , no matter the conditions . To achieve that goal , these sets of off-road gear all feature unique material layouts for different levels of mobility , ventilation and durability .
The Dakar series gear is a blend of durability and airflow , featuring massive adjustable vents on the pant legs in addition to multiple stretch panels , leather overlays , and heavy duty 840D Cordura ® in key areas . The Dakar Jersey features tough sleeves , vented sides , a zippered sleeve pocket and a lightweight body , and is equally focused on durability while still maintaining good airflow for off-road riding .
The redesigned Mojave series pushes the balance towards airflow while maintaining durability , with pants featuring new highly durable Karbonite Mesh also found in KLIM ’ s Induction series of street motorcycle gear . Light colours reduce heat absorption in sunlight . Other key materials and a pair of pockets are shared with the Dakar Pant . The redesigned Mojave Jersey features a more open mesh body material for more airflow , while upgrading to the same durable sleeve material found in the Dakar Jersey .
Topping the charts for mobility is the XC Lite series for men and women . Engineered with the aggressive trail rider and racer in mind , the XC Lite series puts extra focus on comfort in extremely demanding conditions , where airflow , moisture-wicking materials and highly flexible fabrics can make or break the experience . Still , durability isn ’ t pushed aside with leather overlays and durable fabrics in high wear areas .
Wherever you ride , and whatever you ride , KLIM suggest they have your entire season of trail riding , racing and dual-sport riding covered .
