The Dakar Jacket is engineered for multi-season dual-sport and off-road riding, offering a balance of durability, ventilation, mobility, and storage for both trail and light adventure travel. It’s designed to hold up on aggressive rides while remaining comfortable and adaptable to changing conditions.
Key Construction & Materials
-
Durable shell: Lightweight 600D textile chassis with 630D Cordura® twisted yarn overlays in high-wear areas like shoulders and elbows for abrasion resistance.
-
Stretch zones: 500D breathable Karbonite™ micromesh and four-way stretch panels improve comfort and mobility.
-
Reflectivity: 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective material with bio-motion recognition helps increase visibility.
Ventilation & Climate Control
-
Multiple adjustable vents including wrist vents, bicep vents, sleeve hole vents, and back vents.
-
Collar tab that pulls back to direct airflow into the chest.
-
Zip-off sleeves that store in a rear pocket — great for hot weather.
Storage & Practical Features
-
Ample pockets — oversized chest (which doubles as a vent), two cargo hand pockets, internal chest pocket, and sleeve storage pocket.
-
Comfort enhancements like moisture-wicking liner, comfort collar with shock-cord adjuster, adjustable cuffs, and a low-profile hem adjustment.
Armor Compatibility
-
Comes with pockets for optional protective armor in the back, shoulders, and elbows (armor sold separately, e.g., D3O®).
Fit & Style
-
Athletic, slightly relaxed fit tailored for dynamic riding and layering.
-
Does not include waterproofing, so it’s best matched with appropriate layers, especially in wet conditions.
In short, the Klim Dakar Jacket is a rugged yet versatile textile riding jacket ideal for off-road and dual-sport riders who want breathability, modular function (like removable sleeves), and durable construction with storage for gear and essentials
