KLIM jackets or pants ?
Love em, or hate em? Im thinking about getting a shell or a Valdez parka and a set of riding pants are these ok for very cold weather riding (20F to -20F) Any opinions?

Klim had an awesome display at the Novi show. They showed how Gore-Tex will actually wick the moisture away from your skin & leave it dry.
I'm sure you won't be disappointed!!

im not sure on how thick it is for -20 though. i think they rate how cold they are good for, and if you put on layers it shouldnt be a problem.

$389 for a jacket I better not be disappointed, I saw the Klim booth I just didn't stop I was so overwelmed by every thing else. |

I saw them down at the snow show but they seem kinda thin I just woundered how warm they were before I spend $700 bucks on a new jacket and pants. I have a Reima jacket now and its Ok but I hate all the pads that are sewn into the coat there very restrictive when your riding off trail or when your digging out of 5ft of pow.
