Klim Altitude Pants Too Short
“Nothing compares to Klim gear for quality, however the only reason I am not giving a 5 star is because of design and fit. I am a size 12 (5'10", 160 lbs). Why on earth isn't there a tall in a size 12? These pants are baggy in the bum and too short for me. I will have to use gators when it rains and that kind of defeats the whole purpose of Gortex, doesn't it? I opted to keep these pants because of the company reputation and they were on sale, but I did want to vent some disappointment with sizing.”

Verified buyer“I very much like these riding pants and would recommend highly! I had a chance to try them on at a rally so I knew the size was right when I ordered them. They actually fit! I had tried them on with jeans on and they still fit comfortably. They are good riding pants if you want to splurge. I also have the Altitude jacket. At 5'2" and 120lbs I ordered the size 6. Spot on!!”

“Wore these on an 1,800 mile ride on my Street glide. They did creep up to about mid shin but some boot straps should solve that problem. Ride weather varied from 30F to 90F degrees, sunny, hail and torrential downpour. I stayed warm and completely dry. The only downside would be the cleaning aspect. Spot clean only with water makes it tricky getting bugs off. Otherwise no complaints!”

Verified buyer“Great quality. I sized up 1 size and they fit perfectly! The only draw back is that despite the multiple vents, these pants are hot in summer temperatures.”
