KLIM

KLIM was founded in 1987 by Jim Klimstra and his brother Mike in the Pacific Northwest, initially focusing on high-performance motorcycle rain gear rather than helmets. The brand quickly gained a reputation for innovative waterproofing technologies and durable materials that allowed riders to tackle adverse weather conditions without compromising comfort or safety. While KLIM is most renowned for its jackets and pants, their commitment to rider protection extended to helmet development through strategic collaborations and the integration of advanced ventilation systems designed specifically for wet environments, ensuring that head protection remained a critical component of their comprehensive gear ecosystem.
