Klim Carlsbad Jacket 2026
The Carlsbad Jacket, now in its fourth generation, is engineered with an “everything you need, nothing you don’t” philosophy of creating an adventure jacket that perfects the essentials: waterproof materials, durable fabrics, functional pockets, sufficient ventilation – all in a balanced package that’s comfortable for hours, days and weeks on the bike. KLIM’s new Rogue™ Level 2 armor creates a monumental improvement in weight, breathability and flexibility across the entire jacket while still exceeding KLIM’s stringent impact safety requirements. This is the light and fast, waterproof solution for hard-charging adventure riders.
