New Products: Klim Introduces 626 Gear Collection

Klim is a company based on building products for specific purposes, so when the Idaho locals got together over a two-day, self-created motorcycle challenge, they didn't know they had started a full-on development project for a new generation of motorcycle riding gear. But that's just what happened.

Klim's 626 Series was a race before it was an apparel collection. Take $600 and buy/build a motorcycle, take 2 days and race your buddies over 600 miles. That's how their moniker '626' was born. Klim make it a point to state that 626 isn't about style or fashion, but instead represents riding without limitations or restrictions held to motorcycling's categories. As such it is inherently multi-sport, at home on any ride over any terrain. Klim wanted this collection to be anti-niche and anti-urban, invoking dreams of rat bikes that will break down and riding buddies who help you fix them. Less about what you're on, and more about what you're doing.

The Klim 626 Series consists of two jackets, a pair of pants and a pair of gloves. All are intended to represent the ethos of what riding simplicity is meant to be—timeless style, subdue branding, understated technology, versatility and real value—the multi-tool of apparel ready for work and play.

626 Drifter Jacket
The Drifter Jacket takes the heritage of waxed cotton canvas material to the Klim level with a high-end waxed Cordura® canvas body. The Drifter is perfect for quick rides and long weekend explorations. Incorporating a timeless work wear style, you likely won't wear it in a crowd, but if you did, you'd be blending in superbly with its classic button-faced magnetic closures, exposed zippers, plaid print lining and subtle branding. Tech is under the radar but real—ventilation ports under the arms, D3O armor systems, magnetic closures, action back construction for a full-range of motion and more. Available in Green, Black and Blue in Small to 3X sizes from $299.99.

626 Revener Jacket
The 626 Revener Jacket brings full weatherproof performance to the 626 series. A military-inspired four-pocket, all-weather styled jacket, Revener provides the peace of mind Klim's GORE-TEX® Performance Shell construction delivers. It's GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY® performance ensures Revener will always bring you back from your latest escape. Additionally, Revener provides increased ventilation options, more cargo capacity and magnetic closures throughout. Styling is inspired to work on any ride with muted colors, large cargo pockets, plaid interior prints and button closure accents throughout. The soft-yet-burly textured exterior remains tough-yet-comfortable. Available in Blue and Brown colors in sizes Small to 3X from $529.99.

626 Outrider Pant
Inspired by the hardest working apparel in the world, Klim's cotton canvas double front riding pants are built to be comfortable on and after the ride. The Outrider pant is designed to be under-the-radar functional, and the armor pocket systems allow you to remove D3O knee and hip armor at your destination without taking the pants off. The traditional jeans pocket layout and means your pocketknife and wallet are where they should be. The Outrider pant provides maximum comfort while you ride, work, and fish, camp or just relax. Available in Light Brown, Dark Brown and Black in sizes 28–42 Regular and 30-38 tall (Black only) from $169.99

Rambler Glove
The 626 Rambler Glove goes from ride to work easily thanks to its ultra-supple deerskin leather construction—a tactile material with premium durability. Real riding tech comes from concealed knuckle and palm protection, a simple hook/loop closure system and minimalist perforations to keep digits cool in the heat. Use them often and they'll simply get better with age—a traditional glove for new experiences. Available in XS – 3X in natural deerskin for $69.99
