Dana D
Verified buyerFantastic, comfortable, and practical.
“This jacket does not disappoint! Perfect fit (I have a long torso), the sleeves and shoulders are very comfortable. Many thoughtfully placed pockets. My only wish is that there was more ventilation. I also have the KLIM ADV jacket and it has many more ventilation areas. Aside from that, I absolutely love it.”
Jody P
Verified buyer“Took me a long time to pull the trigger on this purchase due to the price. I realized I should've done it a long time ago. This jacket is amazing. It's cool on the hot days and warm on the cold days. The venting was engineered brilliantly. The protection feels very safe. The durability of the Gore-Tex is evident. It will be hard to buy any other brand now.”

“My wife preferred this over the Artemis for overall fit, lightness, and comfort. Her only concern is the venting in the summer. Same size was slightly roomer. Quality is excellent. Just wish it had more vents and came with a liner”

Verified buyerBest Bang for the Buck
“Love this jacket. Everything I expected from a Klim product. Plenty of "adjustment" options for a perfect fit so I can wear whatever I want/need under it. Has a longer "tail" for my lower back when seated - smart design for someone who rides.”

Linda B
Verified buyerOne of the best women's jacket
“This is an all around great jacket multi season jacket - best for cooler weather. I wore this one on a 3 week ride in the Himalayans in Northern India with temps ranging from 96F to 34F. The zippers for ventilation do not really expose enough if you are usually riding above 75F. The fit is really nice. Not too boxy but you also feel contained and protected. Good enough pockets but I wish the side front pocket was larger to hold a passport or larger phone/slim wallet.”

Cathy G
Verified buyerA great jacket!
“I have worn my new Altitude jacket once. It fits well, with lots of adjustment points. It kept me very comfortable on a windy day with temps from mid 60's to 70, with just a long sleeved t shirt. I love that the back has full coverage. A very good quality jacket that I expect to enjoy many scenic rides with.”
