KLIM has a new category of riding gear.
KLIM’s new 626 Series was a race before it was an apparel collection. Take $600 and buy/build a motorcycle. Take 2 days. Race your buddies over 600 miles. That’s how 626 was born.
Here’s what KLIM says about the 626 lineup:
626 isn’t about style or fashion, 626 is riding without limitations or restrictions held to motorcycling’s categories. As such, it is inherently multi-sport. It is at home on any ride over any terrain. It is motorcycle gear that is anti-niche and anti-urban. We’re talking rat bikes that will break down, and riding buddies who help you fix them. It’s less about what you’re on, and more about what you’re doing. 626 is about riding. And riding gear that can do anything. It’s time to play outside.
The KLIM 626 Series consists of two jackets, a pair of pants and a pair of gloves. All represent the ethos of what riding simplicity is meant to be—timeless style, subdue branding, understated technology, versatility and real value. This is riding gear you can count on—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, providing ultimate comfort and simple style. The Drifter is perfect for quick rides and long-weekend explorations. Incorporating a timeless work-wear style, the Drifter brings credibility to any environment. 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 Outrider Pant
Inspired by the hardest-working apparel in the world, KLIM’s cotton-canvas double-front riding pants are built to be the most comfortable motorcycle pants in the world—on and after the ride. A true multi-sport master, the Outrider pant is designed to be under-the-radar functional, but high on your must-have list. Ingenious armor-pocket systems allow you to remove D3O knee and hip armor at your destination without taking the pants off. And 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. The Outrider pant is all comfort, all the time. Available in light brown, dark brown and black, in sizes 28–42 regular and 30-38 tall (black only), from $169.99.
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.
Rambler Gloves
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.
