KLIM is excited to release the newly redesigned Adventure Rally Jacket and Pant, a performance-oriented shell-over-armor system of waterproof gear for the most demanding adventure riders. KLIM’s original Adventure Rally suit set the benchmark for ADV gear in 2010, and this latest sixth generation redesign brings the most radical reinterpretation of the concept in 2025. KLIM is an Idaho-based company that has been designing waterproof vented shells for over 20 years, and the reintroduction of the Adventure Rally is closely tied to their roots.
KLIM started as a mountain snowmobile apparel company in the late 1990s, where mountain snowmobiling became an aerobic, physical activity that preexisting outerwear couldn’t handle. The ultimate solution became durable, waterproof, breathable outer shells designed for layering – KLIM did this first and the best.
By the early 2000s, an emerging group of off-road long-distance motorcycle riders and racers sought out KLIM’s waterproof, vented shells to wear over body armor. They wore a mix of dirt bike gear and padding, but needed wind, water and abrasion protection for consecutive days in the elements.
KLIM received mounting demand from adventure riders for off-road capable, weatherproof, durable ADV-specific motorcycle gear. The KLIM development team immediately began testing thoroughly at the highest level possible; among others, racers like Jonah Street and Casey McCoy competed in multiple Dakar Rallies and other world-class races while testing modified KLIM snowmobile jackets and eventually official KLIM Adventure Rally suits. These prototypes would pave the way in leaps and bounds for future adventure motorcycle gear.
Exactly 15 years after the release of the original groundbreaking Adventure Rally, KLIM goes full circle with the reintroduction of this iconic kit – now designed as a highly durable, waterproof, vented overshell meant for aggressive off-road adventure riding.
The Adventure Rally is packed with waterproof Gore-Tex 3-layer Performance Shell technology, Superfabric® for abrasion protection, excellent ventilation, functional pockets and stretch panels for mobility. Some of the most notable features include a neck brace compatible collar designed for use with or without a neck brace, and unique in-the-boot/over-the-boot convertible pants to allow for either in-the-boot use for off-road oriented riders or over-the-boot use for more complete weather protection. Further, the Adventure Rally is also CE B-rated according to standard EN 17092-5 for street abrasion protection in shells – a significant achievement for riders looking for an equivalent to the CE A rating found in apparel with integrated armor.
Internal reinforcements prepare the overshells for use over body armor – such as KLIM’s new Tactical Pro series of armor – and knee braces, and the unlined laminate materials reduce bulk and improve mobility.
The Adventure Rally Jacket and Pant are exciting additions to KLIM’s highly reputable line of adventure and off-road gear, giving riders even more options to choose from, all in the name of creating the best possible gear solutions for each ride.
