Klim Latitude pants in blue

This is the new-for-2023 Latitude pant that, as you might expect, has been created to match the 2023 Latitude jacket. The Latitude is a road suit; it sits one rung below Klim’s Kodiak suit, although we prefer the Latitude as it is much lighter, easier and more comfortable to ride in.

The chassis is a two-layer, Gore-Tex laminate construction, meaning that it will never ‘wet out’. The main difference between the new Latitude and the old one is its additional comfort. Klim has gone to great lengths to make sure that this is the most comfortable laminate pant on the market. To which end, you get Gore-Tex Stretch above the knees, in the thighs and in the crotch. For abrasion resistance, you get 600D Cordura overlays on the knees, in the seat and at the bottom of the leg. Panels of goat leather run up the insides of the knees for better purchase on the tank. 

The armour in the knees and hips is Level 1 D3O. The pants are rated A under EN17092.

There are two incoming vents in the fronts of the thighs. There are two exhaust vents at the back. There’s a large cargo pocket on the front of the thigh. On the waist, there’s a belt adjuster. You get another adjuster below the knees, and another at the hem of the leg. The pant also features areas of Scotchlite for better visibility at night. The pants comes in three leg lengths.

The Latitude is a super-comfy, well-vented pant designed very much for road riding. Manufactured by Klim, you can be assured that it is superbly well put together, and of course it is also protected by Klim’s lifetime warranty; although don’t take that too much at face value!
