Klim Latitude Pants (Sold Out)

I measured a selection of these pants and found the waist size of the pants to measure out consistently at 2” larger than the stated size. Most men’s jeans will be sized this way these days…. it’s called vanity sizing. We recommend you measure your waist or the waistband of your favorite jeans to see what size pants you need. The waist sizes for each pant size can be adjusted down by 2 to 3 inches with the side waist adjusters.

Inseam on the regular size pants is about 34” and inseam on the tall size pants is about 36”.

Here is a chart I put together to show you how each pant size measures out so you can select the size based upon what you come up with when you measure yourself.

Oh my… I’ve been sufficiently impressed with the Latitude pants to understand the pricing. These are some heavy duty pants brother! Just holding and feeling the materials reminds me of the various heavy duty products by Aerostich. We have never been a dealer for Aerostich, but I’ve seen plenty of their suits and jackets come through our Customer’s Closet so I know what they feel like and I’ve seen how they hold up over time. Anyway, we are selling Klim here, so I’ll shut up about Aerostich. Just take my word for it… these are heavy duty products!

These pants have a pretty darn versatile design. They are primarily adventure riding pants, but they could easily be used on the street, commuting, touring… really any sort of riding. And they’ll work for about 3 seasons as well… really all weather except really hot temps. The pants are a solid textile shell that is waterproofed with the best… Gore-Tex, and are guaranteed to keep you dry. They do have some large zip vents on the side of each thigh and exhaust vents in the rear. These close with waterproof zippers, and when open, will admit air directly through the thigh area, which should give some comfort in warm weather. Klim doesn’t include underlayers with their basic gear, but rather they encourage you to use your own layering depending upon the weather.

The pant leg design of these pants is inspired by dual sport riding… the leg opening is large at the bottom to accommodate just about any boot but the cuff has snaps so you can make the pant leg smaller at the end if you like. The insides of the legs are lined with a second layer of heavy Cordura material so buckles won’t wear on the insides of the pant leg. And the area of the lower leg that rests toward the bike is leather. The leather works to help prevent melting from hot pipes and also give some “grip” for those wrangling a bike off the road.

The waist of the pants is pretty standard construction… double snap flap over a heavy zipper and with two side adjustment sliders on the waist. The back of the waistband is slightly stretchy to keep tension.

The pants come with a full set of D3O armor in the hips and knees. The knee armor installation is great…. the armor is inside a pocket that is quite a bit larger than the armor, and inside the pockets there are patches of Velcro that engage the armor so that you can position it up or down, or side to side, so that it fits in the right spot when you are mounted. And the Velcro arrangement works very well… better than most other schemes I’ve seen.

These pants have plenty of storage too. Two upper hand pockets and one lower thigh pocket… all with waterproof zips to keep your contents safe and dry. Reflective materials are provided as well. Take a look at those in our photo gallery “night shots”.

I can’t stress enough how heavy duty and well constructed these pants feel. MUCH better than any other textile pant we sell, hence the price. It’s definitely not just hype. :: Paul, 04-17-17
