KLIM Layering System
Through the use of their high-tech fabrics, KLIM has the ability to provide you the most effective layering option to sledders to not only maximize warmth but cooling as required. The second key to proper layering is utilizing layers that work WITH each other. Some clothing manufacturers have good ideas on individual layers, but don’t take into consideration the fact that each layer has to work with the next to provide comfort and proper functionality.
Thermal Factor
KLIM gear has been developed using a layering system based on a base layer, mid or insulating layer and an outer layer. There is also the ability to adapt to various riding conditions and products. For instance, the Inferno/Sundance line could be used as either a base layer or an insulating layer. A Klimate Parka incorporates both the outer layer and the mid/insulating layer. In some cases, a mid/insulating layer is not required at all. Extreme flexibility for all riding conditions is easily handled by the KLIM Layering System.
Proper Patterning is Essential
Correct patterning is essential in making sure your clothing allows you to move the way you need to move. With correct patterning you will find that your clothing will work with you, not against you, reducing muscle fatigue and increasing overall comfort.
Fast Forward Technology is a revolutionary technology that uses the latest in patterning and construction to create a sledder specific fit with increased mobility which allows the rider to ride harder, longer with less fatigue. KLIM gear receives aggressive sleeve & elbow articulation. Armholes have action back patterning moving them slightly forward for an easier sled handling position. Shoulder pleats, exaggerated knee articulation, gusseted crotch and side stretch panels are also key examples of why KLIM’s FF Technology makes such a difference to all snowmobilers.
Ventilation
Proper ventilation aids in controlling the comfort level while riding or at rest. Ventilation is strategically placed in the clothing to optimize the use of airflow to transport heat and moisture away, increasing comfort and decreasing muscle fatigue.
KLIM uses two general types of ventilation systems. The first is called Controlled Ventilation. Zippers are strategically placed to control when and how much air flow is used. The other form is called Full Ventilation, which utilizes open mesh to allow air to flow in constantly keeping the rider cool.
