Klim has redesigned its women’s Artemis adventure jacket and pants with additional storage, improved abrasion protection and additional venting.
The armor-equipped jacket and pants now have Superfabric ceramic print overlays and stronger Cordura fabrics, while the inner panels that are subject to less wear are lighter in weight for reduced bulk. Using rider feedback, Klim included female-specific features in the jacket, such as cross-core vents and a springless collar adjuster on the jacket to avoid hair snagging.

Here are more details about the Artemis gear from Klim’s press release:
Klim is excited to release the redesigned Artemis jacket and pant, upgrading their line of premium women’s motorcycle apparel with newly updated adventure gear. The Idaho-based company is proud to improve abrasion protection, comfort, ventilation and storage for female riders.
Starting with abrasion protection, KLIM improves on-road safety with new Superfabric overlays in key impact areas. This is a massive improvement in abrasion protection, previously only seen on the Badlands Pro and Adventure Rally gear. New 630-denier Cordura twisted yarn overlays also deliver better abrasion resistance than the previous version. New fabric layouts greatly improve mobility and comfort together with increased abrasion protection through a specially “mapped” fabric layout.
Storage options throughout have been vastly improved, with a monstrous total of 12 pockets between the exterior and interior of both garments. They’re thoughtfully placed for easy organization of essentials. A new addition is an internal organizer pouch in the right-hand jacket pocket and left-hand pants pocket. This is an intuitive way to keep items organized within a pocket. Another addition is a MOLLE webbing panel on both the jacket and pants for attaching small items to the exterior.
Impact protection comes from D3O Level 1 vented armor throughout the shoulders, elbows, knees, hips and back. The Artemis jacket and pant are both CE AA-rated according to standard EN 17092-3.
Further upgrades include a more refined ventilation layout. Forearm vents bring air into the arms, while more efficient chest and back vents add more airflow to the torso. Klim’s popular cross-core chest vents are still in play. The pants have a refined and efficient ventilation layout as well.
The redesigned Artemis Jacket and Pant set the standard for durable, ventilated, protective and comfortable women’s adventure gear.
