Stretch Gore-Tex! That’s what sets this jacket-and-bib combo apart from the rest. Gore-Tex continues to evolve, and Klim is one of very few apparel manufacturers that contracts with the fabric brand to get the best and newest technology. Sure, similar Gore-Tex membranes are used everywhere, but the newest patented tech is saved for Gore partners so competitors can’t use it for years.
The new 3-layer laminate material is even more breathable, and makes for the most flexible and maneuverable suit on the market. It’s like wearing spandex-infused, super durable, long-lasting armor. The Stealth jacket and bib also come with removable D3O intelligent padding on the shoulders, knees and bum, and Klim coordinates 3M Scotchlite reflective material into the welded technology for better visibility at night.
This system incorporates vents, fleece backing for comfort, even a goggle cloth on a stretch cord and an interior MP3 headphone port! But the best thing about this suit is that it’s comfortable AND durable. We’ve beat it up on trees, rocks and ice, and it’s proven to be extremely reliable for how lightweight it is. It is not insulated, so it’s best for extremely active riders or for mountain riding. Cost is $492.99 jacket, $484.49 bib.
