WIN A KLIM BADLANDS PRO JACKET

Long regarded as a benchmark in adventure riding jackets , the Klim Badlands Pro , has seen a few upgrades to make it even more suited to the rigours of adventure and overland motorcycling .
The redesign sees improvements right across the board , more optimised fabric layouts , greater ventilation , improved functional storage , and a better fit and mobility . External fabrics have seen an improvement to the Superfabric ® ceramic print overlays and Cordura ® to increase abrasion durability , while the inner fabrics that experience less wear have been lightened to reduce bulk . Klim also say that their custom D30 ® pads offer the best-inclass impact protection .
The Klim Badlands Pro is guaranteed to keep you dry through a Gore-Tex 3 layer shell that is enhanced across the shoulders , elbows , and forearms with variabledensity Superfabric ® and highly abrasion resistant 630D Karbonite™ in the impact areas .
The main body of the Klim Badlands Pro is constructed from 630D Cordura ® twisted yarn , including the cargo pockets , zips are all YKK ® Vislon ® and are water resistant . All included armour is vented Klim Aero Pro D30 ® and rated CE Level 2 .
Ventilation comes from a multitude of openings including ; dual zipper wrists , core vents of which two can operate as pockets , bicep intake vents , tricep exhaust vents , back exhaust vents , and a collar tab .
Storage comes by means of no less that 16 different pockets , all with their own specific purpose allowing for ease of use and comfort whilst wearing .
The Klim Badlands Pro is now available in new colours including the Electric Blue Lemonade as seen here .
