Sizing Information
I measured a selection of these pants and found the waist size of the pants to measure out consistently at 2” larger than the stated size. Most men’s jeans will be sized this way these days…. it’s called vanity sizing. We recommend you measure your waist or the waistband of your favorite jeans to see what size pants you need. The waist sizes for each pant size can be adjusted down by 2 to 3 inches with the side waist adjusters.
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.
| Pant Size | Max Waist Size | Inseam Regular | Inseam Tall |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 32 | 33 | - |
| 32 | 34 | 33 | 35 |
| 34 | 36 | 33 | 35 |
| 36 | 38 | 33 | 35 |
| 38 | 40 | 33 | 35 |
| 40 | 42 | 33 | - |
| 42 | 44 | 33 | - |
Our Two Cents
And here are the Gore-Tex Over-Shell pants… the “end all” rain pants by Klim. These rain pants are made to work with the Klim Adventure Rally Air pants, but they’ll work over anything really as they are constructed as “over pants” and can be easily slipped on even on the side of the road.
Like the matching jacket (see the link below to view), the shell of these pants is fairly amazing and unlike anything else we’ve ever sold. The material is sturdy feeling, and has a slightly soft “touch” to it. And it is stretchy… not a lot but some. The fabric is bonded to layers of Gore-Tex material to make it impervious to water coming in, but it remains breathable so your body moisture can escape. People who are familiar with Gore-Tex swear by it. And this bonded technology is the best of all the Gore-Tex products in this regard. The shell is unlined and there is a a final boded layer on the back side that is sort of like a micro fleece feeling material.
The pants feature long side zippers that go from the very bottom of the cuff to the waist which will make it easy to put these on over your regular riding pants. The side zipper is “two way” meaning there is a pull at the top too. With that upper pull, you can open the pants a bit and reach into your pants pockets underneath which is really handy.
