Klim Badlands Pro Pants Review

When it comes to adventure riding, the gear you choose can make or break your experience. For those who face the harshest elements and demand the highest performance from their gear, Klim has introduced the next generation of their renowned Klim Badlands Pro Pants. This review delves into why these pants are a game-changer for hardened world travellers and why they are considered the most trusted name in ADV (Adventure Riding).

Exterior Features

Gore-Tex® 3-Layer Pro Laminate Technology

The Klim Badlands Pro Pants feature Gore-Tex® 3-layer Pro laminate technology, which is known for being the most breathable and durable motorsports shell construction available. This technology ensures that you stay dry no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. The SPL 200 3-layer Pro Gore-Tex® and FPL 400 3-layer Pro Gore-Tex® materials used in these pants offer unmatched durability and weather resistance.

SuperFabric® on Knees

Klim has custom-engineered variable-density SuperFabric® on the knees to provide extra protection where it's needed most. This material is highly abrasion-resistant, ensuring that your knees are well-protected during any adventure.

Karbonite™ Ripstop Panels

The pants also feature 500D Karbonite™ ripstop on pockets and seat areas, as well as in key impact and wear zones. These panels offer high abrasion resistance, making sure that your pants can withstand continuous abuse from rugged terrains.

High-Mobility Active Fit Patterning

Comfort is crucial when spending long hours on a bike. These pants' high-mobility active fit patterning ensures unmatched comfort by allowing a full range of motion.

Construction

Reflective Material

Safety is paramount, especially when riding in low-light conditions. The Klim Badlands Pro Pants incorporate 3M Scotchlite™ reflective material on panels and trim to increase visibility.

YKK® Vislon® Water-Resistant Zippers

All zippers in these pants are YKK® Vislon®, which is known for being water-resistant and highly durable. This ensures that your belongings stay dry even in heavy rain.

Velcro® Waist Fasteners

The Velcro® waist fasteners allow for easy adjustment, ensuring a snug fit regardless of your body type or layering needs.

Integrated Armour System

Custom D3O®/Klim Armor System - Aero Pro

One of the standout features of these pants is the new custom D3O®/Klim armour system called Aero Pro. This system offers increased coverage, ventilation, breathability, and better ergonomics compared to previous versions.

Limb-Specific Pads

The armour includes limb-specific pads, such as Klim Aero Pro D3O hips and knees pads and an XRD® tailbone pad. These pads exceed Level 2 CE certification for pren1621-1|2011 testing, providing top-notch protection.

Adjustable Armour Pockets

The adjustable armour pockets allow for the refined placement of armour pieces to ensure maximum protection without compromising comfort.

Quick Adjust Straps Behind Knee

Quick-adjust straps behind the knee help keep the armour in place while improving the overall fit.

Cargo, Comfort, and Support Systems

Klimatek™ Cooling Stretch Mesh

Klimatek™ cooling stretch mesh is used in hip and knee pad pockets to improve ventilation and moisture-wicking capabilities.

Polygiene® Odor Fighting Technology

For long trips where laundry facilities might be scarce, Polygiene® odour-fighting technology helps keep odours at bay.

Improved Back Waistband Construction

An improved back waistband construction adds to overall comfort by providing better support during long rides.

Storage Solutions

Zippered Cargo Pockets

Two zippered cargo pockets have been designed with improved usability in mind. These pockets provide ample storage space for essential items you need quick access to while riding.

Ventilation System

Max Flow Ventilation | 4 Ports

Ventilation is crucial for staying comfortable during hot weather rides. The max flow ventilation system includes four ports—two intake vents on the front thigh area and two exhaust vents on the back thigh area—ensuring vastly improved airflow and venting capabilities.
