Review of the Klim Dakar Pro Jersey

It may seem crazy to pay the same for a jersey that you’d normally pay for a pair of pants but once again, you get what you pay for. Jesse and I had been eyeing those new Klim Dakar Pro Jerseys for a while now and we finally broke down and got one. They only offer a gray and a black version, so I got the gray, and of course Jesse got the black. The fit is spot on and it has lots of little nice touches just like all their gear . . . the attention to detail is apparent.

I wore the jersey last weekend, but under the Klim Traverse jacket. That was a great pairing for a day that didn’t get above freezing. I felt very bullet proof with that setup. On thing to note is that air flows through this jersey just like a vented one. It is not designed to keep you warm. About mid-morning I had Philip open up my back vent on the Traverse jacket and I unzipped the vents under the arms. Riding in comfort is always a great thing. Like someone told me once, “It’s all about the gear.”

This weekend the temps edged on up to around 50 in the sun. I started out with an Under Armor short sleeve summer shirt, a black Klim Revolt Jersey (Yamaha branded) and my new Dakar Pro on top of it all. We took off around 9:45am and it was still in the mid-30s but I was comfortable.

We headed out an old logging road that is littered with black berry briars. The place is eat up with this stuff as it was logged in the recent past and you will not escape unscathed. Or at least that is what I thought. Most jerseys get ripped to shreds in this setting. But let me tell you, the sleeves on this jersey are like iron. If you ride gnarly single track and push through the underbrush like you find east of the big river, well this is the jersey for you! It is more like a jacket in some ways and it delivers as advertised.

The day only got better. The weather was perfect, the ground conditions were great (where the sun had hit the ground), and we plowed through some major thickets to open up some stuff we hadn’t ridden since last winter. That Dakar Pro Jersey, my Chinook pants, Adventure Pro Gloves, and Klim backpack emerged from the thorny ride no worse for the wear. Tough stuff. Just like the gear I bought back in 2009, this new jersey will last for years.

Bring it on! I’m ready for the thorny ride now! It may be getting cold, but this is a great time of year to ride. Don’t sit at home! Get out and ride!

See you on the Trail!
