In Klim’s revised lineup of motorcycle gear, the Kodiak Pants stand as the top-tier touring option that’s designed for riders that go hundreds miles a day, regardless of conditions. Klim created such a capable touring pant by taking their off-road-oriented Badlands gear and making some calculated changes to it.
Familiarities brought over into the Kodiak include the Gore-Tex Pro Shell that is designed for both abrasion resistance and complete waterproofing, a complete set of CE level 2 D3O armor that handles impact, fit adjustment at the hips and thighs, and familiar waterproof, zippered venting at both the front and rear.
But the differences are what really set the Kodiak apart. The fit is the biggest change as Klim has gone to a more Euro, slim fit that is drastically different than other Klim options. This means the Kodiak won’t have Klim’s classic American cut, instead giving you much cleaner visual lines and not nearly as much excess material to bunch up or get in your way. This also significantly changes the sizing options for this pant, which is crucial to pay attention to.
Other difference include more subdued styling to match the new, svelte cut and removal of the superfabrics at the knees in favor of a more flexible perforated leather. All the changes represent a big shift for Klim as they clearly delineate their collection between touring and adventure based gear. But in this new array of choices, the Kodiak stands as one of the best super-premium options for riders that prize slim, streamlined gear and high-level features that retain every bit of effectiveness.
