The girls love wild and exciting outdoor undertakings just as much as the boys do. It’s time somebody gave them the proper clothes for it. Outdoor outfitter KLIM has females jumping for joy to do some hard-core riding, now that their premium Artemis “adventure suit for women” hit the racks.
All the adventure
Women can experience all the adventure of their male counterparts in custom designed safety. This year’s gear boasts a full redesign by female engineers.
The end feature-packed results are jacket and pants which offer “several improvements in protection, comfort, ventilation and storage.”
KLIM started by focusing on abrasion protection, with new Superfabric® overlays in key impact areas to boost on-road safety. The pros claim that’s “a massive improvement in abrasion protection, previously only seen on the Badlands Pro and Adventure Rally gear.”
Another thing that has them gossiping are the 630-denier Cordura twisted yarn overlays. Those are designed to “deliver better abrasion resistance than the previous version.”
Test riders are thrilled with the way the new fabric layouts “greatly improve mobility and comfort.”
The thing they appreciate the most is the specially “mapped” fabric layout which provides “increased abrasion protection” in all the right places. That means a lot when your adventure takes you places far away from paved roads.
Improved storage options
When you wear something for hours on the road, it’s really convenient to have everything at your fingertips. That’s why KLIM built in “storage options throughout.” Not just ordinary pockets, they’ve been “significantly improved.”
With jacket and pants, adventure seekers get “a total of 12 pockets between the exterior and interior of both garments.” Each was carefully positioned “for easy organization of essentials.”
The designers are proud to announce a new addition in the form of “an internal organizer pouch in the right-hand jacket pocket.” There is a similar one in the left-hand pants pocket. They’re meant to create “an intuitive way to keep items organized within a pocket.”
Another add on you’ll appreciate on your adventure trip is the “MOLLE webbing panel on both the jacket and pants for attaching small items to the exterior.”
Off-road trail riders will appreciate that impact protection “comes from D3O Level 1 vented armor throughout the shoulders, elbows, knees, hips and back.” Both of the adventure suit garments in the Artemis line are “CE AA-rated according to standard EN 17092-3.”
The MSRP on the jacket is $749.99 and around $579.99 for the pants. That includes further upgrades like “a more refined ventilation layout.” The suit is designed with forearm vents to bring air into the arms, along with chest and back vents to improve torso airflow.
