Klim carlsbad suit review please.

[@roadglide]

There is a KZbin of a Klim factory tour. When you see and hear Klim’s philosophy on creating quality gear you understand why it’s a purchase worth the price. All made in the US too. Well done. Love the high viz and sage color-way.

[@BigRockMoto]

Well said!

[@joemartin7332]

So I just bought the Carlsbad. I like it a lot. Rode today, 87 degrees and it vented well. Nice and light, but good protection. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@kee7678]

How is sizing? what are you and what size you get? I'm. 6-0 barely...and 190 lbs. most 195lbs... 34 sleeve. L in Tshirts....I'm either M or mabye L but after what Ian showed..maybe M ??

[@Jaxon1776]

Congrats on the new jacket. Klim makes great stuff. I have the last generation badlands jacket and I find it to be a three season jacket. It's great for cool weather and even cold weather, but it's too hot over 80 degrees. So I supplemented it with the Baja 4 jacket and pants. Love them. +1 for Revzilla. Great customer service and fast shipping.

[@BigRockMoto]

Yeah I want the Baja too! Wish it had chest armor.

[@cbr6864]

Any updates on baja S4 debating on that or klim adventure rally air?

[@johnnyturbo8460]

I love RevZilla.. great customer service and product line. Great looking jacket in a stunning color combo

[@davidwilliams7220]

just picked one of these up as the old colour full suit, £780 total using ex forces dicount of £400, well pleased and prefer this to new colours

[@Gaz1za21]

Really informations, cheers. I’ve had Rukka proshell gear for the last five years which is top lit although it does get way too hot in the spring/summer so interesting to see the venting and protection from Klim👍

[@robert-levesque]

Vos vidéos sont toujours (très) intéressantes... félicitations!

[@peterv1806]

Moi, j'aime beaucoup ses videos aussi.

[@thehungrynomad8384]

I just picked up my Sage Jacket and pants yesterday.

[@matticusmac6452]

My dream jacket, very nice!

[@thehexter1]

Good review, I went with the Klim Latitude jacket a year ago to go with the Badlands Pro Pants. The Badlands Jacket was just too heavy and bulky even with the kidney belt. Plus I fit between a M and and L so one was too big and the other too small. Great stuff though and other than the new colors, they can be had for about $300 off these days. BTW, you gotta stay out of the sun or wear a hat outside! :-)

[@kee7678]

I'm same...between M and L and not sure which way to go

[@thisismartintube]

Fantastic video! Cheers, buddy!

[@RobBrown]

Nice one.... now where's the Add to Cart button...

[@PapaDougsAdventures01]

That Rabbit Pouch is for your Pillion to put her hands in and give you long lower back massages 😎

[@Nightboat]

Thanks for your thoughtful reviews. I have watched a couple of your other videos as well. I can confirm that the outside pockets are NOT waterproof (why, KLIM?) The "pass-through" slot on the inside right is not for earbuds as you mention but for the (sold separately) hydration bladder tube. You missed talking about the pouch for the bladder behind the back protector. Nice jacket. I have one in Grey.

[@BigRockMoto]

I tried using that bladder pouch... didn't work for me.

[@dougievic8403]

Awesome looking jacket!.. like the color, think it will work well in Queensland, Australia.

[@jered2177]

Wow nice jacket

[@luckycharms8383]

Good job mate 👍

[@BigRockMoto]

Thanks for the visit

[@1dancier]

Good product for sure and I'd buy one if it had more high viz, but it's lacking. Work provides 100% high viz protective riding gear and I've got at least 50% on the front and back of my personal jacket. It's all good when new, but with time in the dust and dirt and with regular washing the high viz gets duller, so the jackets need to get replaced more often for the high viz effect.

[@BigRockMoto]

Fair enough!

[@markjacobs6294]

$1000 bucks? I got a custom fitted Aerostich Darien for way less. But I never got to sit at the cool kids lunch table either...sigh.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Right there with ya. I've got the Roadcrafter so they keep asking me to sweep and mop when I'm done changing the cool kid's oil.

[@cbr6864]

Just can't get over the price

[@BigRockMoto]

yeah I know. wish it was $700.

[@davekarl2256]

How does the new Carlsbad vs Badlands armor differences compare, both are CE level 2 but how much larger coverage is the Badlands? I am considering Carlsbad to save some weight and know the Carlsbad doesn’t have the chest armor spacer and the kidney belt. Venting looks similar enough on the two.

[@BigRockMoto]

Honestly... now that I've looked at the new Carlsbad, I like it more. Armor is now CE2, the fit is nicer than the badlands which is boxy and bukly, the carlsbad is lighter and looks nice IMHO. The only thing I'd miss is the chest armor.

[@jpaul4595]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the badlands jacket, I am thinking of getting the badlands or the latitude. I read a lot of negative comments about the heavy weight of the badlands pro, what are your thoughts on the weight and bulkiness?

[@denischartrand3912]

Looking at ordering the carlsbad jacket but the pants are not in stock, is the weight difference for the pants as big as the jacket? I tried the jacket and didn't like the badlands, just too heavy for my taste. Looking at this 2 years later but great content as always. At equal price or minor difference if one could get a discount, would you go for the carlsbad vs badland?

[@4ce59]

Hi what are gloves you are using with the jacket? I just bought Pro A3 jacket and it is a nightmare where a wear it together with my long gloves... -(

[@a2bwithlee]

Great review!

[@booger65man]

In what country is Klim equipment made? USA?

[@davidfalgout7304]

Klim makes awesome wonderful gear for snowmobile type riding. For motorcycles & street riding... while it lightyears better off the shelf stuff from motorcycle stores, it pales in comparison to the motorcycle tested/ proven gear from Motoport. Motoport gear is the ONLY gear designed and tested over many years and attendant ( and unfortunate ) accidents. Years of proof actually. Then when you take into account you can actually get gear made to fit you...it is a no brainer! Costs about the same as badlands. So, when I got the badlands and the pants did not fit all that well and I discovered the above facts the Klim was sent back and Motoport was ordered. Jus' sayin' FWIW AND YMMV.

[@BigRockMoto]

you are right about motoport. best gear available.

[@domster200]

Are the rear vents still cleverly inaccessible for a sudden downpour? The Traverse was the only one I found without this nonsense.

[@pacmo]

Nice color mate, make my Call for this color thaks to you! the orange and grey was my First choice but on vídeos look like purple and orange haha

[@kidluk]

Can this be warn in the heat of summer Thanks

[@BigRockMoto]

yes. too hot.

[@BDunn]

I have a Black Badlands Pro Jacket as well and really love it!! I am currently slimming down and may want to swap sizes....What Forum/Site did you use to Sell your original Black Badlands Jacket to help fund this new Sage one?? Thanks!

[@BigRockMoto]

advrider

[@raki2870]

I want it sooooo mutch. Do you have badland pants as well?

[@amittrivedi9101]

How's the jacket holding on for you? It's been almost been a year since you've posted ur KZbin video and I'm certain you've been able to put some lengthy miles with this piece on. And ur 2 cents of using this piece in tropical climate (if ridden) will only help!

[@BigRockMoto]

I believe it's too hot for a tropical climate

[@lavi38]

I loved the comprehensive video and explanation about the Jacket, I have a question, did you think to check / buy the BMW Jacket? Safe ride

[@BigRockMoto]

Yes actually and I did not find the quality to be matching the price. I used to have an old rally pro 2 suit, loved it, but don't like the new ones.

[@kawabungah20]

Nice jacket. With 12 vents open it should be tolerable riding on a 90 degree F day. Not so sure above that....

[@cbr6864]

Looking to upgrade my gear live in South Texas so hot and humid. Debating on klim adventure rally air or klim baja S4. Do you have any experience or input on those two?

[@BigRockMoto]

i use the baja, love it

[@joemartin7332]

Which do you prefer, in retrospect: Badlands, Carlsbad, or Lattitude.

[@BigRockMoto]

carlsbad, hands down. just bought the new one...

[@joemartin7332]

Thanks. I was leaning that way.

[@user-zo6xg8bx4l]

This color combination doesn't seem to be offered any longer. Not on RevZilla anyway.

[@andywork8736]

I see in one of the comments you wear a heated jacket. Is that a full jacket? Is the Badlands sized to accommodate that bulky of a layer underneath it?

[@BigRockMoto]

It is a vest, plenty of room in jacket

[@elci997]

thanks for the great review, did you take Medium as a size, and what are your measurements? Hello and thanks.

[@BigRockMoto]

Yes, medium. 5 foot 11, 180 lbs.

[@amittrivedi9101]

Which websites do u recommend for shopping closeout deals at the best price? Honestly the lowest I came across on the Badlands pro pants in tan was on motorcyclegear.com at $589!! Please do suggest

[@BigRockMoto]

That is a good site. I like revzilla and rocky mountain atv mc.

[@mikecollett3600]

I'm looking at this jacket and wondering how warm it is with no inner thermal layer? Any info is appreciated! Thanks Mike.

[@BigRockMoto]

Because it blocks wind very well, it's fairly warm. I use a heated vest for winter.

[@CuriousRoach]

How did it work on summer?

[@joemartin7332]

Do you think the Carlsbad or Lattitude have sufficient abrasion resistance for road riding?

[@BigRockMoto]

Both do yes

[@joemartin7332]

Thanks

[@weldform]

Hi I purchased a badlands pro jacket leaks from the vents zippers first time in rain Brand new jacket klim put me on to gore-tex for the problem Gore-tex wanted to send off Jacket army cost to ne tested they can't test zippers after a discussion they said if zippers are leaking not gore-tex then its klims problem Went back to klim there answer is it says zippers are water resistant not waterproof in description do not responsible if it leaks Funny how in advertising its say it will take anything and keep you dry well it doesn't and actually it was a good job I found out that it was leaking before I was miles away in the wilderness Hyperthermia is a killer they actually say it in the advertising importance of staying dry Ok I said my bit it's up to you to make up your mind I was sucked in to the advertising and parted with a lot of money a bin liner would have worked better So just because its expensive doesn't mean it works

[@Mr450pro]

I really like the Klim gear, but damn it’s expensive in my country 🤮

[@thor8640]

What? 1000 bucks and it does not have a removable thermo layer? How is this keeping you warm at 30-50 degrees fahrenheit? How about the pants? Thermo layer?

[@BigRockMoto]

Klim gear is gore shell only. Need your own base layers. For me, I use a heated vest. Cozy!

[@sanelcalakovic470]

How tall are you @bigRickMoto? edit: 5 11

[@richardvalitalo3670]

How can they say waterproof guaranteed but only water resistant zippers?? Stupid!

[@ParagliceCayenne]

I bought myself a different Klim Jacket, the Badlands pro. I am very disappointed about this product, it is so much of not practical. It states to have a lot of pockets, but acutally you cant use them, they are to small, of are made of mesh material, or are being blocked when u open the upper part with the straps to hold it open. It very uncomfortable, it feels like a middleage armor made of metal. I rode with it about 500km and bought myself a Rukka R.O.R. jacket with a additional protector suit inside it. That is so much more quality and comfort. Sorry but for me : No Klim again. Overrated and not good for real world usage

[@TheTuxMaster]

Concerning Badland Pro The 5 outer pockets do NOT hold tight, a soaked wallet and a damaged phone. 350k in the rain, a jacket for $ 1000 should hold tight. Will be RUKKA next time! Very dissapointed!

[@mangomears1]

Why put a phone in outside pocket? It’s a risk on any jacket
