Fits great, kept me dry in a torrential downpour
23 Jun 2026 by Mark
Expensive but worth it, had an issue with previous version but goretex warranty refunded me and I bought this one, fit is great, lots of pockets, I like the cord in the collar to tighten in bad weather, new armour is comfortable and a little lighter, good venting, definitely waterproof after riding through torrential downpour I was completely dry,

Fantastic quality

Everything you need from an Adventure jacket and pants. The quality is amazing as you’d imagine from the price but you won’t be disappointed. Be aware that the sizing from KLIM is larger than fit so best to size down. Where I’m normally XL, the L was a better fit for me.
