2 points to remember..

1. You're on the inside looking out...
2. It's Klim, it's good.....

Enjoy

I don't know... could definitely look uglier:

I have a Klim Marrakesh jacket which I really like, though I wish I got it in black rather than light grey because I already have a grey bike

I've never seen a textile suit where the trousers are shorts.....

You haven't seen my enduro pants then.. after a couple of tears i turned them into shorts as I have my leg braces and boots so anything below the knee wa just showing off.....rather comfy in the hotter weather...

I tried on a new Badlands in a far less offensive black/dark grey colour scheme, but with the new range they seem to have shortened the arms and added an acre of material around the torso.

I’d almost given up hope before trying these on, but the fit is pretty good with the kidney belt fastened and drawstring snugged up a little.

Just need to add a suitable mid-layer & I’ll be ready for winter.

That’s what I keep telling myself!

Next time I go to a bike meet I'm going to look to see if anything can beat those for ugly textiles...and report back.

It’s the general squareness and cut that makes Klim ugly.

True, there is something of the ‘bin bag’ about them!

Short arms and legs and big, big, bellies.

A GS is just inevitable now mate.

I’ve got the Carlsbad jacket and I have to say it’s shaped for our more portly transatlantic cousins.
Length is fine but it’s been relegated to enduro use where I wear an Alpinestars Bionic Tech protection jacket underneath.
Still not tight but the fact it moves around isn’t an issue as I’m not using the built in elbow and back protection.

Got a confession to make….got dressed up for my first ride in these, sat down for a moment and just thought ‘fk me, there’s far too much material here’.

So they got returned and I’ve gone back to boring black Rev’It.

Sorry all!

So, is this your way of claiming you don't have an "American physique"?

Not very Teutonic either. And to think the Badlands is even wider…!
