Klim has a new line of insulated mid-layers, puffer jackets and windbreakers for the 2021-22 season.
The new soft shells and down jackets can pack down compactly, for convenient storage while riding. The “puffer” jackets come with their own stuff sack. The breathable mid-layers are made from the latest technical fabrics and the windbreakers are fleece lined. A wide range of color choices are available in both men’s and women’s sizes.
Here are more details from Klim’s press release:
Klim is excited to release new insulated mid-layers, puffer jackets and windbreakers for the 2021-22 season, bringing comfort, performance and style for the upcoming winter months. New soft shells and down jackets are designed to excel in active and casual environments alike. Their technical mid-layers add warmth and breathability for use under a Gore-Tex shell, while remaining versatile for non-riding environments.
The men’s Boulder Jacket and women’s Luna Jacket are refined, premium down puffer jackets designed for active lifestyles, where wind protection, packability and mobility are all essential for a good day outside. The entire jacket is made of downproof four-way stretch fabric that’s even more comfortable than traditional down jackets.
Unique engineered seamless baffle construction greatly reduces down loss while an included stuff sack makes packing easy. Klim’s introduction of down to their apparel lineup is an exciting addition to other 3M™ Thinsulate™ and Featherless™ insulated gear. From the winter backcountry, to a night in town, to the campfire, the Boulder and Luna deliver warmth you can count on.
Exciting new women’s mid-layers are the redesigned Waverly Jacket and Arise Vest, with exceptional breathability and warmth for casual or athletic conditions. Great breathability avoids any stuffy, sweaty feeling without introducing so much airflow that body heat escapes. The result is a very comfortable mid-layer suited for physical activity or adding warmth to any outer shell. Similar to the men’s Override Alloy series of jackets, these will become very popular multipurpose mid-layers, ready for a night in town, full days of riding or lounging around the cabin.
Joining Klim’s Override and Override Alloy performance mid layers is the new Alloy Jacket, a grid-back fleece mid-layer with excellent mobility and breathability properties. With light fleece around the whole body it wicks moisture while trapping heat, and low bulk makes it easy to add warmth to any shell. Next in the series is Klim’s Override Alloy Jacket released in 2020, with half-fleece and half-insulated construction. The warmest in this series of mid-layers is the fully insulated Override Jacket.
The men’s Delta Jacket and women’s Whistler Jacket are stretchy, fleece-lined windbreakers that take the edge off chilly weather. The fleece backing adds warmth while flexible, breathable, water-resistant fabrics keep you comfortable even during physical activity. Like many other Klim mid-layers, jackets and shells, these are designed for comfort and performance from town to trailhead.
