KLIM‘s Badlands Jacket and Pant have been a hit since their introduction in 2011. Known for their storage capacity, armor system, GORE-TEX Pro Shell weatherproof technology, visibility, reflectivity, and abrasion and cut resistance, KLIM has taken it a step further for 2015.

Built on an updated chassis, KLIM says its new Badlands set focuses on increased comfort , while improving durability and lowering overall weight. Other updates include improved ventilation airflow, zipper pulls and storm flaps that are easier to reach, and increased visibility.

ATV and UTV riders who are keeping their hands warm with Can-Am branded heated gloves may need to return them as some models are being recalled. According to the recall notice, the glove’s lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack can overheat, posing a fire hazard.

The gloves are only available in black and are sold with two lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and a charger. The gloves have either”ski-doo” or “can-am” on the pointer finger and on the wrist band of each glove. Both gloves come in size XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL. The battery pack is located on the zipped pouch on the wrist of each glove.

We’ve seen some awesome off-road riding gear at the 2013 American International Motorcycle Expo in Orlando, Fla., but two jackets from REV’IT! stand out.

The Poseidon GTX ($899.99) is what you want to wear when Mother Nature is having a bad day. It feels surprisingly lightweight, but REV’IT! says its 3L GORE-TEX outer shell is 100 percent waterproof for riding in the most extreme conditions. To add some ventilation when the sun comes out, open up chest vents with the FidLock magnetic fastener system. Other features of the Poseidon GTX include CE-certified protection, reflective panels, collar hook and connection zippers.
