Details
Built as a companion piece to the Klim Carlsbad Jacket, the Carlsbad Pants follow the same formula of creating a fully-capable, off-road adventure pant that is stripped down and streamlined just the right amount.
For the Carlsbad Pants, that means you’re getting a performance Gore-Tex laminate shell that is both abrasion resistant, armored with CE level 1 protection, and guaranteed waterproof for life. And since the waterproof membrane is built directly into the pant’s construction, you won’t have to mess with removable liners or material that bunches up. However, you will get excellent breathability through the material and zippered, direct venting to your legs.
The Carlsbad won’t be as technical as Klim’s more expensive options like the Badlands or Kodiak, but it still has several features that promote usability like multiple points of fit adjustment, zipper pulls that are easy for gloved hands, and diagonal side pockets that’re very convenient for small essentials.
All this makes the Carlsbad a solid addition into Klim’s lineup, especially when it comes to adventure riders that want a durable, aggressive pant without spending a fortune or feeling weighed down by excess technicality.
