Is the Klim Latitude Jacket fully waterproof?

Yes. It uses a single-layer GORE-TEX performance shell, so the waterproof membrane is bonded into the outer fabric and no separate rain liner is needed.

What armor does it come with?

It ships with D3O LP1 Level 1 vented armor at the shoulders and adjustable elbow armor. There is no back protector included by default.

How does it compare with the Klim Badlands?

The Badlands is a heavier, more feature-loaded adventure jacket with more venting and storage. The Latitude is lighter and simpler, aimed at touring riders who want a clean single-layer shell.

Is it good for hot weather?

It is a three-season jacket. The vents move air at speed, but riders in hot climates often find it warm in slow traffic compared with mesh gear.

Does it fit over a mid-layer?

Yes. The cut leaves room for a fleece or heated liner underneath, which is how most riders extend it into cold weather.

What sizes does it come in?

Klim offers the Latitude in a range of men's sizes, and some retailers stock tall sizes. Check the size chart, since the shell fits close over armor.

About the Klim Latitude Jacket

The Klim Latitude Jacket is a touring jacket with a single layer shell made from GORE-TEX performance fabric. Stretch GORE-TEX panels at the underarm gussets and back shoulders allow freer movement. The shoulders have 600D Cordura overlays, and the elbows have perforated goat leather overlays. Goat leather also appears as trim detail.

Protection comes from D3O LP1 Level 1 armor, which is vented at the shoulders and adjustable at the elbows. 3M Scotchlite Carbon Black reflective material is included. The jacket has articulated cuffs and an adjustable cinch collar.
