We've been using the Klim Valdez jackest for many years, and finally, Klim have brought out their motorcycle version of this amazingly versatile jacket - the Raptor GTX Overshell Jacket. We couldn't be happier.
Early KLIM adventure jackets were actually Valdez snowmobile shells, worn over off-road padding by aggressive riders exploring the backcountry. The Raptor GTX Overshell Jacket is a shell-over-padding system born from a pedigree of KLIM shells that have been proven around the globe – including Dakar Rally stages. With chart-topping abrasion properties, comprehensive weather protection and off-road engineered construction, the Raptor GTX is built for aggressive dual-sport and adventure travel. Wear it over a jersey and off-road padding for excellent versatility and mobility through any terrain.
