We love Klim. We’re not doolally fan boys; we don't love everything they produce, but the American company does make some great gear. They tend to use the best components. They put it together really well. And it does what it's meant to.
But they do a lot of suits, and understanding the difference between the various models is not straightforward. But we have been working with Klim for a few years now. We have spent quite a bit of time with various members of their marketing, design and product development teams, and so we reckon that we now have a pretty good understanding of how the various pieces of their particular jigsaw fit together.
And we think that it's more important with Klim than with almost any other brand that you know what you're buying in to, because their gear is often different to what we see from the European producers. Plus there are lots of differences between their suits. Sometimes the differences are subtle. Sometimes they are not.
The reason we felt compelled to put this video together, however, is because it has become apparent to us that a lot of people simply don't understand the Klim range; and as a result they often end up buying gear that is totally inappropriate for their needs. In truth, we see this in all areas, irrespective of the brand, but it's particularly prevalent with Klim.
I think one of the problems is that Klim is perceived to be the brand to buy when you own and ride an adventure bike. And it's true that, perceptually, Klim stands on a bit of a pedestal in the adventure market. But at times that causes people to make rash, ill-considered and ill-informed decisions.
The breadth of the Klim range is huge. It's not always easy to come by, and as a result people do end up buying the wrong stuff. All too often it becomes clear to us that somebody has spent a considerable amount of money on an Klim outfit, largely on the basis that the suit matches the colourways on their adventure bike. And for these people the assumption has often been that because Klim is associated with adventure riding, the suit they have bought must be okay for adventure riding. And obviously that’s not always the case.
The other problem here, of course, is that there are so many definitions of adventure riding. For some, adventure riding is about extreme, off-road riding in inhospitable parts of the world. For some, it's about long-distance touring. For others, of course, it's little more than a styling exercise; about looking the part when you fill up your aluminium panniers with the weekly shop from Waitrose!
Anyway, what we're going to do today is talk through what we see as seven of the key suits in the Klim range. We're not trying to sell any of them to you. In fact, that's never our way. What we are going to do is give a brief outline of every outfit. We'll touch on strengths and weaknesses. We'll talk about what kind of riding each outfit is intended for, and for what kind of rider it is suited to. The rest is up to you.
