Klim is Introducing New Motorcycle Armor, and It'll Work With Your Old Gear, Too

As motorcyclists, we live and die by the gear we wear. Literally. Without armored jackets, pants, gloves, and boots, we're basically the squids we make fun of on Reddit who wear tank tops, shorts, and sandals while doing Mach Jesus on a Gixxer. Armor is everything in terms of keeping your ass out of the ER, looking for a skin graft or titanium plates in your femur. 

It isn't the end-all, be-all by any stretch of the imagination, but it goes a long way toward you sticking around to see your kids, future kids, or dogs grow up. Armor is everything. 

Which is why, when developing its new Rogue armor, Klim not only went back to the drawing board in the construction and insertion department, but the company created two whole new departments within the company, including a Rapid Prototyping Lab, and a Hard Parts Department, showing that it was aiming for something revolutionary. And best yet, Klim did just that, and made the whole thing backwards compatible with your older gear.
