The Klim Carlsbad is the ADV-touring oriented sibling to the Klim Latitude series. The Carlsbad is a great option for riders who do no shy away from taking their ADV bike away from tarmac and paved roads. It\'s not as beefy and complex as the Badlands Pro so if you are afraid the Badlands Pro might be a bit too much, the Carlsbad is the jacket you\'re really looking for. In comparison to the Latitude, the Carlsbad is way better suited for Adventure touring riders. The D3O protectors are strategically placed to make sure they stay exactly where you need them to be during off road riding. The outer shell is constructed of a 2-layer Gore-Tex Performance shell which is guaranteed to keep you dry. Reinforcements in 500D Karbonite Ripstop material on impact zones beef up the protection even further. This jacket can surely take a beating! Comfort wise, the Carlsbad offers an ergonomic fit intended for ADV riding. Klim paid a lot of attention to the location of zippers, ventilation intakes and adjustment belts to ensure they do not get in the way during off road riding. Plenty of ventilation zippers promote airflow into and out of the jacket to keep you cool while muscling your bike through rough terrain. If you\'re looking to use this jacket during colder seasons as well, Klim offers various base and mid layer products for you to mix and match so you end up with your ideal amount of thermal insulation.
