Klim Badlands Pro A3 Jacket & Pants Details 

The CE AAA grade, certified to standard EN 17092-2, was previously exclusively given to motorcycle clothing composed of leather and heavier, bulkier materials and is present on Klim’s Badlands Pro A3 jacket and pants.

The textile used to make the Klim Badlands Pro A3 Jacket & Pants combines Cordura and Vectran fibers, providing high abrasion and cut resistance. While D3O armor offers impact protection and shock absorption for the back, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and tailbone, the Gore-Tex laminate structure adds waterproofness and ventilation.

The Idaho-based company is pleased to have developed clothing that outperforms the comfort trade-offs and limitations often found in highly protective AAA-rated gear, setting a new benchmark for adventure motorcycle protection.

Only leather outerwear, such as racing suits and a few chosen textile clothing, have historically received the coveted CE AAA grade, certified to standard EN 17092-2. These garments all come with severe heat, bulk, and flexibility trade-offs by nature.

It was acknowledged that the construction and materials required to attain this grade would be excessively hot and bulky in leather and textile forms. For instance, there are riding jeans that are AAA-rated but too hot and heavy to be useful for long journeys.
