SNOW TECHNOLOGY:

By implementing the latest in superior technology in moisture management, technical patterning, high performing fabrics and ergonomic ventilation we are able to offer a system of riding clothing that provides the ultimate in comfort, fit, mobility and protection.

GORE-TEX®

GORE-TEX® fabrics are created by laminating GORE-TEX® membrane to high-performance textiles, then sealing them with an innovative solution for guaranteed waterproof protection.

MEMBRANE
The GORE-TEX® membrane is the heart of all KLIM® GORE-TEX® products. It contains over 9 billion microscopic pores per square inch. These pores are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule, which makes the GORE-TEX® membrane completely waterproof from the outside, while allowing perspiration to escape from the inside. An oleophobic, or oil-hating, substance is integrated into the membrane, preventing the penetration of body oils and insect repellent that could otherwise affect the membrane.

LAMINATES
To construct a GORE-TEX® laminate, GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded between high-performance fabrics that are extremely breathable. All GORE-TEX® fabrics are waterproof, windproof, and breathable. However, there are many different outer fabrics and fabric constructions available so that you can choose what's most important to you: weight, texture, abrasion resistance, and so on.

SEAM SEALING
Seams and stitching are essential aspects of a garment's construction. Unfortunately, they compromise the water and liquid protective properties of the fabric: seams and needle holes may be small, but they will still leak. That's why they must be completely sealed. For absolute waterproofness and liquid resistance, KLIM® products rely on GORE-SEAM® TAPE. This unique tape, backed by reliable Gore equipment and know-how, ensures that every seam and tiny stitch hole is sealed. Subject other technical fabrics to hard use or frequent washing and they may quickly lose effectiveness. Not GORE-TEX® fabrics. Each one is designed to be durably waterproof, windproof, and breathable and maintain its performance for the life of the end product.

WATERPROOF
The micro-porous structure of the GORE-TEX® membrane is what makes GORE-TEX® fabrics completely waterproof. Each microscopic pore is about 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, which means no external moisture - from rain to snow to that puddle you just stepped in - can penetrate the membrane.

WINDPROOF
Shivering? It could be the wind chill effect. This occurs when cold air penetrates your clothing, robbing heat from your body's sensitive micro-climate. To keep you comfortable and protected in the windiest conditions, the GORE-TEX® membrane has been engineered to provide an impenetrable wind shield. Your product breathes, but wind stays out.

BREATHABLE
The pores in the GORE-TEX® membrane are 700 times bigger than a water vapor molecule, so perspiration can easily evaporate through and you can stay dry from the inside out. Breathability is an important component of comfort when you are active.

QUALITY TESTING
Gore’s quality management process is unique in this industry. From research through design and manufacturing, at every step they ensure that GORE-TEX® products are best in class – guaranteed. In their laboratories worldwide, they put products through a relentless battery of tests to ensure that every GORE-TEX® product meets their (and our) exacting standards for durability, waterproofness, breathability – and comfort. This rigorous quality management enables us to provide you with a lifetime guarantee for each of Klim’s GORE-TEX® products.

GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY®
If you are not completely satisfied with the waterproofness, windproofness, or breathability of a GORE-TEX® product then Klim will repair it, replace it, or refund your purchase price. All GORE-TEX® garments and footwear - and only GORE-TEX® garments and footwear - carry the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY® promise. What does this mean? It means that no liquid from the outside will get to you on the inside. This includes moisture from the wet snow you’re kneeling in to the sudden downpour you get caught in. And that's a promise.

CARE:

GORE-TEX® products are not only built to last, they're easy to take care of, too. Routine care and maintenance on your part will ensure the highest performance from them and extend their useful lifespan. WASH - Machine-wash warm (104° F/40° C). Powder or liquid detergent. No fabric softener. Follow manufacturer's instructions. DRY CLEAN - If professionally dry-cleaned, request clear distilled solvent rinse and spray repellent. Follow manufacturer's instructions. IRON - Steam-iron warm, placing a towel or cloth between the garment and the iron. No need to iron the garment until it is completely dry. BLEACH - No chlorine bleach. It may damage your garment. DRY - Tumble-dry warm. The heat from the dryer will help to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment on your garment's outer fabric. WATER REPELLENT TREATMENT - Gore recommends applying a topical water repellency restorative (DWR treatment) for outdoor fabrics, available at your local outdoor retailer. We do not recommend wash-in treatments as they can affect the garment's breathability. STAIN REMOVAL - Use a pre-wash treatment such as Shout® or Spray 'n Wash®, following its manufacturer's instructions. Rinse well.

NYLON
Used as the face fabric of our outerwear, nylons used in different thickness depending on where and why they will be used. The trick is to use a nylon that is thick enough to withstand abuse, but thin enough to give the desired mobility.
All nylons used can be categorized in 4 different groups:
Ballistic Nylon
Generally found in between 500 and 1000 denier ballistic nylon is the ultimate when it comes to with standing extreme abuse
High Tenacity Nylon
This nylon is a 330 denier nylon which has great abrasion resistance along with maximum flexibility and can be found in high wear areas
Standard Nylon
Built as a 200 denier nylon it gives ample protection against abuse and is extreme flexible
Lite Nylon
Rip stop is our choice when a lighter nylon is required. Rip stop nylon give maximum mobility yet is extremely durable and resists ripping.
