Initial Contact

KLIM was one of the first to use D3O®’s flexible armor technology in motorsports apparel. Since the initial use of off-the-shelf D3O® armor pieces, KLIM has worked in partnership with D3O® to refine its product offerings to meet the specific needs of motorcycle riders. From a wider temperature range of use to higher levels of CE impact certification, KLIM is constantly searching for the next armor system solutions. And over the last two years, they put their money where their armor was.

Conducting their own study on all currently available raw armor materials, KLIM’s product engineering team concluded via independent laboratory testing that nothing has more performance potential than D3O® across the widest range of conditions. These are conditions KLIM riders experience outside the lab. From cold to hot and wet to dry, the properties of the D3O® raw material are scientifically superb. But that wasn’t good enough.

Once D3O® proved itself as the material of choice, KLIM went to work perfecting it. From molecular to structural, what KLIM® and D3O® have now created is nothing short of revolutionary.

Introducing KLIM D3O® AERO PRO - The most advanced armor pieces in the world.

KLIM D3O® AERO PRO offers the most coverage and highest performance of any armor technology available in the world—passing CE Level 2 testing criteria across the gamut of temperature and moisture conditions. And it does this while ventilating 5X as much as the next best performing D3O® with 44% more coverage.  

KLIM D3O® AERO PRO is the most ergonomically correct, highest performing, most well ventilated and widest covering Adventure Riding-specific impact armor on the planet. It was designed by KLIM for one purpose—to serve the needs of world-class adventures.

Driving Force

KLIM Badlands Pro is GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY®

This promise is backed by the proven performance of KLIM’s use of motorsports-exclusive GORE-TEX® 3-Layer Pro Shell technology. Only KLIM bonds the world’s most breathable and durable waterproof apparel technology directly to the outside of the most durable shell materials ever created.

You will not find this level of GORE-TEX® weather proofing technology combined with a higher degree of external material engineering in the world.

KLIM’s GORE-TEX® integration ensures a dry, breathable and comfortable ride regardless of exterior conditions or how hard you work. All this comes without fumbling with inferior and uninspired inner and outer liner nonsense.

Badlands Pro inspires you to keep riding through it, whatever it is, and allows you to wake up ready to do it all again for the rest of your life.

Ventus Maximus

External weather conditions are only half of the comfort story on a ride. After all, when Adventure Riders encounter technical terrain, they heat up regardless of what the thermometer says. That’s why KLIM developed the most intelligent ventilation and comfort system for the all-new Badlands Pro.

Starting with the dynamic D3O® AERO PRO armor’s open structure, airflow can now move completely through the best armor in the industry, cooling protected limbs in high exertion riding by expelling heat at newfound speeds—we’re talking about a five time increase in ventilation potential in the highest-rated armor available.

Further, KLIM ingeniously engineered KLIMATEK COOL base layer fabric into the armor pockets of the Badlands Pro. This innovative cooling fabric utilizes chemical-free moisture transfer and cool evaporation technology that does not wear out over time. The result is a fabric with hyper-wicking properties and cooling your skin will feel next to jacket and pant armor.

To combat foul odors and sweaty residue buildup, KLIM now incorporates Polygiene technology to the entire interior finish fabrics of the new Badlands Pro. This permanently bound fabric tech applies naturally occurring bacteria eliminating properties to fabrics, to eliminate the month-long riding stench before it starts.
