FEATURE I KLIM PRODUCT ROAD TOUR
P112
designed to keep you dry in the
wet, warm in the cold, and cool
in the heat—to keep you going
when Mother Nature wants you
to come inside. And Klim didn't
forget about protection or handy
touring convinces, either. If you
want to know a lot more about
the Kodiak gear, I'll let Klim's
own Lukas Eddy tell you. He's
the expert. Just check out the
accompanying video. (And, yes,
that's the same Lukas Eddy who
co-stars in our Superhard hard
enduro video series. You can
check out Superhard - Episode
One here.
However, I can tell you about
some of the things that stood out
for me regarding the Kodiak gear.
For one, the included "puffy"
inner jacket that comes with the
Kodiak's main outer jacket is awe-
some. It's Klim's answer to the
annoying zip-in liner. Nine times
out of 10, when I un-zip a jacket
liner, that's it; it never gets zipped
back in. Too much work. I'll just
replace it with a fleece sweatshirt
or a motorcycling-specific under-
garment (which Klim also provid-
ed us on this trip). I have a closet
full of zipper liners that won't
be reunited with their mother
jacket anytime soon, if ever. The
super-soft puffy jacket, however,
is fantastic. It is filled with gray
goose down feathers and, when
not in use, can be rolled up into a
Ah, the puffy
jacket, aka
Maverick. It
comes with the
Kodiak jacket as
a non-zipper liner
and is one of the
keys to Kodiak's
success.
