e already know that Klim knows snowmobiling. And we already know Klim
knows off-road and adventure motorcycle riding. But do you know that
Klim also knows touring, as in hard-core Gold Wing-type road touring?
Perhaps you do, but I didn't, to be honest. I've always associated this Idaho-based
company with anything that flings mud, snow, sand and gravel from a rear knobby tire
or snowmobile track. At least that's always been my connection to Klim—got a serious
dual-sport or ADV ride coming up, call Klim. Competing in Baja, call Klim. Riding in
the Mojave Desert, call Klim. However, they've never been near the top of my list
when it comes to layering up for a lengthy pavement tour. But it is now.
