Klim Torrent Over Pant

These pants measure out about 3” larger than the stated size. Most Klim pants are about 2” larger than the stated size, but these are overpants and intended to be worn over your jeans or other protective motorcycle pants. The extra inch or so is there to make sure they’ll fit over everything easily. The waist band on these pants has two adjuster to help you get the right fit which can reduce the size of the pant by about 3” (fully snugged down). Also, consider suspenders to hold them up if having two waist bands starts to cramp your style.

Inseam on the regular size pants is about 33” and inseam on the tall size pants is about 35”.

Here is a chart I put together to show you how each pant size measures out so you can select the size based upon what you come up with when you measure yourself (over your riding clothes).

The Klim 2021 Torrent Over Pant is a well made waterproof pant made to be worn over your jeans or protective pants when you encounter wet weather/cold weather. These pants offer Gore-Tex construction and long side zippers so you can put them on without having to find a dressing room.

The long side zippers are two-way on this pant so you can zip them down from the top quickly to reach into your pants pockets. The shell fabric is a very sturdy Cordura material with a bonded GoreTex liner. Being bonded means the waterproof liner is actually bonded to the fabric so there is no separate liner like with less expensive riding pants.

The Torrent is not meant to add crash protection, but rather it is assumed you’ll wear these only for protection from rain. Granted the fabric used is very abrasion resistant and will enhance your sliding protection, but there are no armor elements. Without armor, they fold very flat for easy storage. You could also use these pants in cooler weather as a windbreaker layer.

Yes, this is an expensive rain pant, but as Klim points out, its a once in a lifetime rain pant purchase. You’ll never need another pair. :: Paul, 02-03-21

Klim says: The Torrent Over Pant is a fully fledged waterproof overshell to keep the ride moving through foul weather. Redesigned for low bulk and easy entry for wearing over motorcycle pants, such as our armored K-series riding jeans, the Torrent is ideal for sketchy commuting weather or long-distance rides. These are durable and long lasting, unlike throwaway rain layers that don’t hold up to extended motorcycle use.
