Klim Outrider Pant
The perfect fusion of rugged workwear styling and motorcycle protection. The Klim Outrider Pant combines the casual appearance and all-day comfort of heavy-duty work pants with CE-certified protection, creating a versatile riding pant that transitions seamlessly from saddle to sidewalk.
Construction & Materials: Built from durable, breathable stretch canvas (cotton/polyester blend with spandex), the Outrider offers superior abrasion resistance compared to standard cotton while maintaining excellent breathability. The fabric has the heft of quality work pants like Carhartt but with added stretch for comfort and mobility. Double-layered construction at cuffs and knees provides enhanced durability in high-wear areas. Single-layer construction throughout keeps the pants lightweight and breathable—no liner for maximum airflow.
Protection & Certification:
- CE EN 17092-4:2020 Class A certified (urban riding)
- D3O® IP Ghost CE Level 1 vented knee armor - Ultra-thin, breathable, flexible with unique external access pocket design
- D3O® IP Ghost CE Level 1 vented hip armor - Low-profile for discreet protection
- Adjustable knee armor - Three position settings, easily removable from outside while wearing pants
- Double-layer knee protection - Armor pocket design creates two fabric layers over knees for improved abrasion resistance
Additional Features:
- Reflective hidden cuffs - Fold up cuffs to reveal reflective striping for enhanced visibility
- YKK zipper fly with button closure
- Belt loops for traditional belt use
- Triple-stitched seams for durability
- Slim fit—not baggy cargo style, but roomier than fitted jeans
- Compatible with both street boots and adventure boots
Fit & Sizing: The Outrider uses vanity sizing—waist measurements run approximately 2" larger than stated size (e.g., size 36 measures 38"). This is standard for most modern jeans, so order your usual jean size. Inseam lengths are true to size. The cut is slimmer than traditional cargo pants but more relaxed than 501 jeans, striking a perfect balance between casual comfort and functional fit. Regular length runs generous—consider sizing up inseam if you prefer to roll cuffs.
When to Wear: Perfect for casual riders, commuters, and adventure travelers who want protection without the "full moto gear" look. Excels in warm to hot weather due to breathable canvas construction. Ideal for riders who spend significant time off the bike and want pants that blend into everyday environments—campfires, restaurants, or weekend rides. Works exceptionally well for multi-day tours where you need versatile gear that doesn't scream "motorcycle."
Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Remove armor before washing for best results.
