The Klim Rift Jacket is a protective outerwear style created to help avid snowmobilers maintain safety when spending extended periods riding during the season. The jacket is crafted with a full GORE-TEX Performance shell that is paired with a 3M THINSULATE insulation to provide just the right level of warmth during rides. The outerwear style is equipped with the Ascent Float System (AFS) on the interior that is comprised of flexible and breathable closed-cell foam that will help the wearer to float if they fall into icy water.
The Klim Rift Jacket comes in four color options and is paired with strategically placed reflective material on the exterior that will be visible from afar to further enhance safety.
