Klim Badlands Pro Jacket (5th Generation)

Klim Badlands Pro Jacket (Gen 5) is the most complete long-distance adventure travel jacket available, and the perfect partner for any NZ or RTW adventure rider. Now redesigned in its fifth generation with a massive upgrade in impact protection — the new KLIM Rogue™ EXP Level 2 expanded protection armour is thinner, lighter, more breathable, and more protective than any armour ever fitted to a Badlands Pro series jacket.

Durable Superfabric® ceramic print overlays and Cordura® fabrics handle abrasion, while inner panels that experience less wear are lightened for reduced bulk. Badlands Pro – the most trusted name in ADV.
