Klim Artemis Women's Pants

Great pants - more protection please

“The newly restyled pants are an improvement in fit and finish. My biggest complaint, however, is that the armor is CE level 1, not level 2 like the men's equivalent. So to get the same protection, I now have to spend $80 on hip and knee pads. Sure wish Klim would change this.”

“sizing is terrible. Should not have to order something 3 times to get it close to the right size. Bad that they don't offer shorter inseams for short people. Quality is Klim.”

True to size, true to Klim quality

“They're everything you'd expect from Klim re: quality, and I am so grateful to report that they run true to size. Until this year, I'd never owned riding gear that felt like it actually fit my body without excess material getting caught on foot pegs and bunching up on armor. Size 0 is a true 0 (5'4/108lbs). Thanks Klim!”

Good not great

“Size 10, 5'4", 165# 36-30-44. Like most serious women's riding gear, options are limited and true fit sizing is a buy it and return it process. This includes great expense, time and eventually settling, within safety, fitment and pricing. These are what I settled for that fit good, not great. Better suited for a passenger. With limited ROM. Pockets for touring on these are worthless. These should handle a ground slide.”

“It's still snowing here in Vermont, so I have not worn them yet. I love the fit and the look. Love the zippers and vents. I look forward to wearing them on the bike all season.”

Short front zipper makes entry a bit difficult

“Ordered size 4, and it has all the qualities which you'd expect from a Klim product. However, the front zipper is a little short, and made it difficult to get around my posterior (I'm not exactly stacked in the back). I also ordered the Sedona (in boot) style and it was much easier to get on and off. If you want to stay with the Artemis, I'd size up one. (However, once on, I'd say true to size)”

“Great pants, looking forward to wearing them this summer. Fly zipper could use another inch.”
