KLIM Induction Jacket - Size L - £140 Posted UK mainland
On a recent trip down to the Black Forest with Johny Boxer, the forecast was looking warm (!) and I took a punt on wearing this for the first time on a long tour. I took a lightweight windshirt in case it was cool and a KLIM GTX Paclite lightweight shell in case in rained. AM I glad I went for it as the weather was pretty damn warm and the combo performed absolutely flawlessly. The jacket is beautifully made, is virtually totally permeable to the wind and yet, it has typical KLIM protection.
Key features
SHELL/CONSTRUCTION
It’s on a gentle wash as I write, with NIKWAX wash (not the proofing as there’s no point on this one) so will be lovely and clean for its new owner. £140 for the hot weather versatility of this one? Not a lot for a jacket that is in A1 condition. Sizing by the way I would say is true to size.
