KLIM, the company known for technical dirt and snow riding apparel, has “upped the ante” again. Knowing that there is a huge need for women-specific riding gear, Klim has made a concentrated effort to develop a full line of women-specific riding gear.

KLIM president Justin Summers stated, “We want to make sure that our women’s line works and fits the needs of women riders. To insure this, we have added a female designer and product developer with years of experience in pattern and product design to our product team to oversee all of our women-specific riding gear.”

Women are more aggressive and riding harder than ever. They deserve a clothing system that works specifically for them. KLIM has developed the Solstice Base Layer System that is comprised of the Solstice Shirt, Pant, and Brief all patterned just for women. The mid-layer pieces consist of the all new Sundance Pant and the completely re-designed Sundance Shirt.

These garments are not just male versions with feminine colors. They are built just for women and make up the most capable layering system when combined with the Allure Parka and Bib.

For that chilly day around town or for something to wear to the trailhead, KLIM has developed the Whistler Jacket that is a 100% GORE WINDSTOPPER Soft Shell.

Summers stated,” With the addition of these product lines and women-specific design, women will be able to ride harder, stay more comfortable, and look great all day long.”

The new women’s line from KLIM is built with the same quality and workmanship that has made KLIM the leader in outerwear products.

Just had my first ride wearing my brand new HMK Voyager Jacket. Talk about the perfect day for testing riding gear – minus 20 Celsius (4 degrees Fahrenheit)!

This jacket stood up to the test though. The Cordura shell blocked the wind from getting through and combined with the zip-out liner, I was toasty warm even at speed.

The liner is easily removed and you can wear it or shell separately or combine the two for maximum weather protection.

I also like the tall, fleece-lined collar that provided further protection from wind and cold on my neck and is just loose enough not to restrain head movement.

The fit of this jacket is so great too. Pre-curved arms look slick and don’t bunch at the elbow and the cuffs can be worn loose or closed shut and stay shut tightly better than some of the other jackets I’ve had.

The ghosted spider-web pattern over the black exterior is so cool I’m positive you’ll be seeing more of it next season. Combined with the orange highlights, you’ve got yourself a head-turner.
