You hop on your motorcycle to meet some friends for breakfast but you have no idea what the day will bring. There’s talk about riding to the next down for lunch, or maybe some hiking, or maybe fishing. KLIM says they designed their new Switchback Pant for exactly these situations, where you want casual style combined with the versatility that your lifestyle demands.
KLIM is excited to announce this latest addition to their 626 Series gear lineup, where they blend casual style with technical motorcycle outerwear. The whole 626 Series is for anyone who treats motorcycling as a lifestyle, and the Switchback Pant is no different.
Building around a durable, lightweight chassis and Karbonite Micromesh panels, KLIM has developed a pant with comfortable airflow and controllable vents for hotter days. To maintain important levels of safety, the pants come with D3O vented armour in the hips and knees. However, with versatility a key focus, KLIM designed the pads to be removed without undressing. This means you can ditch the pads when you get to camp, your fishing spot or simply home from your errands.
As expected, the multiple cargo pockets are designed for access from a seated or standing position. Discreet 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material on the cuffs adds visibility for night rides around town. Intuitive features like these give you functionality in motorcycle environments without putting you out of place in casual settings.
For riders with multifaceted lifestyles, the Switchback Pant will get them from breakfast with friends to the hardware store, to a day hike for lunch, to their favourite campsite for dinner. It’s the pant they can trust on or off the bike.

You can buy them at KLIM’s official website.
