I finally got to ride the bike today with the KLIM BADLANDS PRO JACKET and PANTS on. At first the jacket felt a little heavy and stiff due to all of the body armor that resides in the back, chest and elbow area. Once under way those thoughts were replaced by a very snug and secure feeling you get from being that well protected. The arms have two velcro cinch straps each that keep the sleeves from flapping in the wind.

KLIM BADLANDS PRO GEAR

There are also several pockets (seven to be exact) to carry all of your personal items including a sleeve to put your cell phone in before you zip it up in the upper RH chest pocket. As you can see from the picture below the suit also features some high visibility panels for night riding. I don’t plan on riding at night but it’s sure nice to know that it’s there if you need it. The collar has a nice soft lining and a cinch on the back of the neck to snug it up tight.

I can’t wait to ride in the rain with this gear and something tells me I may get what I wished for…
