Klim Raptor GTX Overshell Jacket
Early KLIM adventure jackets were actually Valdez snowmobile shells, worn over off-road padding by aggressive riders exploring the backcountry. The Raptor GTX Overshell Jacket is a shell-over-padding system born from a pedigree of KLIM shells that have been proven around the globe – including Dakar Rally stages. With chart-topping abrasion properties, comprehensive weather protection and off-road engineered construction, the Raptor GTX is built for aggressive dual-sport and adventure travel. Wear it over a jersey and off-road padding for excellent versatility and mobility through any terrain.

Sizing Information
This jacket is over-sized to fit over certain Klim summer mesh jackets that are not waterproof (such as the Adventure Rally Air jacket) or over off-road apparel/protection. We suggest you choose the same size you wear in the jacket you plan to wear under this rain jacket. This jacket could be worn over any brand of protective jacket (there is nothing in the construction that would prevent that).
If you plan on wearing this rain jacket without a protective jacket under it, then choose one size smaller than you normally wear in men’s clothing.
Our Two Cents
The Klim Raptor GTX Overshell jacket and pants are made to be worn over dual sport or off road gear. The Overshells are over-sized to fit over armored jackets or external protectors.
The Raptor GTX Overshell jacket has direct venting on the biceps, sides of the abdomen and back, with an adjustment strap to hold the abdomen and back vents open if you wanted them to flow more air. You can also unzip the jacket partway and pin the collar back using the collar stays near the shoulders for even more air intake. The cuff of the sleeve has a hook and loop closure so you can find a good fit over or under whatever glove you are rocking. Inside the hand pockets at the belly there is a pull cord for tightening the hem of the jacket, pull to tighten or pinch to release. The shoulder on either colorway and the Klim logos on the chest, back of the neck, arms, and rear near the hem on the Monument Gray are all made from reflective material for nighttime visibility.
On the Raptor GTX Overshell pants the direct venting is on the front of the upper thigh and back of the lower thigh. There are two large hip pockets for storage as well. The pants also come with a built in cinch belt so you can tighten them down to your waist size if needed. The belt has the ability to take in about 5”. The pants cuffs have zippered expansions to easily expand over your riding boots, and there is reflective over the expansion flap for increased visibility at night. The Monument Gray colorway also have reflective Klim logos at the knee and calf.
With fully taped seams and direct body venting, the Klim Raptor GTX Overshell jacket and pants will keep you dry and give you the option for airflow without stopping the ride. The quality on this gear is top notch as you would expect from Klim and the additional abrasion resistance in this shell is a nice upgrade to typical rain gear. :: Mike, 07/29/2022
