Hey, this is Anthony with Revzilla TV, where you can watch, decide and, ride.
Welcome to our detailed breakdown of the new Klim Overland Pant, available at Revzilla.com.
So, at first glance, the new Klim Overland is really the road version, a complete version,
of something like we saw, the Traverse in the Path.
Many guys took a Traverse, which was an Enduro outfit, it didn't come from armor, and they
kind of shoehorned it into on road riding conditions.
Peter is actually one of those guys commuting in the Traverse a lot, everyday.
The Overland pants are going to be a little bit more basic than something like the Latitude
or the Badlands.
We shot the jacket; watch that full detailed breakdown video as well.
There is still gore performance shell.
They just have some more road-oriented upgrades and they now come with armor at a $400 price
point.
So, we look at them at a glance.
You can see Peter here to my left, wearing them; basic textile construction, 840D Cordura
overlays on the knees, and on the sides, and kind of low side impact areas, as well as
the shins.
They are going to include that D3O Evil XT Armor which is temperature stable even when
you get into really cold.
That's going to be a molecular style armor, I have a piece here in my pocket.
Let's see how that's going to work.
It's very flexible.
This is actually a shoulder from one of the jackets.
You can see how that works.
Now, keep in mind, let me hear your quick gut feedback and reactions to the Overland
Pants.

Note on fitment; Peter's to my left, he is wearing a size 34, and Peter has pretty big
legs.
Peter is actually about a 35 waist in jeans.
You see, he sits right in between.
He can go either way, he's kind of maxed out the waist adjustment on this 34 size pant,
but you can see he gets plenty of coverage.
The knee armor is completely adjustable.
This pant could actually work for him until he started really beefing up the layers underneath.
So, keep that in mind.
Remember, it's a technical shell from Klim.
Basic mesh on the inside; you add your own base layer, you add your own mid layer for
winter time riding, and it should vent decently enough with nothing underneath it to keep
you riding through summertime riding.
And remember, on sizing, we ship for free, exchange for free, no restocks if you send
back to us.
We try to keep it simple enough if you are not sure about your sizing.
So, looking at the front, two snaps, a zipper with a gator behind it.
It's the Gor-tex waterproof breathable shell that's laminated to this outer shell, it's
actually performance shell.
They've upgraded the leather on the inside of the cuffs going down on both sides so you
get good contact with your bike if your standing on the pegs depending on how your ride.
Really, the Overland does kind of transcend both street and light Enduro riding.
It's nice.
Now, turn to the side for a minute.
You're going to see one of the key differences.
Stop right there.
Nice articulation of the legs that we didn't have in the Traverse and this big pocket here
on the side using that 840D Cordura.
Now, looking from the front on, you're going to see there's a big vent here right on the
front, and that's going to exhaust all the way through the back.
And now, these vents are going to be mesh lined so you can keep debris out of there
a little bit better.
You see there on the top, too, when I talked about the built-in waist cinching, Peter actually
has it kind of maxed out a little bit there because he's right on the cusp in between
sizes.
C3O hip armor, which is molecular as well, is included as well.
Going down towards the back, you can see a lot of the reflective that goes all the way
down to the cuff to make sure that you light up, and people would know that you are a human
on a bike and be able to react more quickly.
Now, Peter, turn and face the Ducati right back there, behind you.
There you go.
Stop right there.
Looking at the back cuffs, lot of adjustable Velcro; it goes all the way up.
You're going to see rain gutter down along the back.
But one of the things you're going to see is this Cordura goes all the way up on the
inside.
Big problem with boots or with pants that are worn over taller boots, depending on how
aggressive the buckles might be, is that many times your boots or your pants will wear out
from the inside out.
By having that heavier duty material coming up, wrapping underneath this cuff and going
all the way up, you now have the ability to keep that pant, the high quality pant, from
wearing away.
Now, turn and face the front for me one more time there, Peter.
Keep in mind, too.
These pants come in black, and there's also tall sizes available which give you the extra
inseam but are similar around the waist, so no surprises there.
Watch our detailed breakdown of the jacket video.
You can see both of them together in both black, as well as this color for the new Overland,
a nice addition to the food chain from Klim; more geared towards multi-season toward riding
on the road side of things, a slightly less technical than the Latitude.
