The Klim Badlands Pro Jacket is a waterproof Gore-tex motorcycle jacket for adventure riders. It provides maximum rider comfort and is constructed with very hard-wearing, premium materials and fabrics, and integrated D30 armour. It is arguably the best adventure riding jacket on the market and is well-suited for New Zealand riding conditions.

The Badlands Pro Jacket is the most complete long-distance adventure travel jacket available. The series 3 is now redesigned with improvements across the board, with more optimized fabric layouts, more ventilation, more functional storage, better fit, and more mobility. Durable Superfabric® ceramic print overlays and Cordura® fabrics handle abrasion, while inner panels that experience less wear are lightened for reduced bulk. Custom KLIM D3O® Aero Pro pads offer best-in-class impact coverage.

Badlands Pro – the most trusted name in ADV.
