Klim Apex vs Traverse jacket sizing
I've got a 5 years old Klim Traverse jacket and am thinking of getting a Klim Apex jacket to replace it. The Traverse is a size large and fits as well as Klim stuff does, is the Apex a similar fit? No dealers near to me to try unfortunately.
Re: Klim Apex vs Traverse jacket sizing
I sell Klim so have a bit of knowledge in this:
I`m a large in every jacket that Klim do however.......We are all different sizes. We all have different shoulders, arms, chests and Abs ( or should that be Ab?) .
I would say that you would be fine in a Large but clearly trying the stuff on is best.

Re: Klim Apex vs Traverse jacket sizing
Thanks for that information
I guess some of the variation comes from different markets being targeted. An on road rider is very unlikely to have body armour that they use on it's own, they'll be happy to use the jackets stuff, but off road users are more likely to have their own body armour, and so their jackets might be a little bit larger than the on-road equivalent.
The Traverse is still going strong, but the Apex's arm vents and side vents look like they'll be easier to use when on the bike.
