Firstgear Announces the New, Improved Kathmandu Jacket and Pant
OutdoorHub 03.02.12
New for 2012, the Kathmandu Jacket and Overpant were re-designed with the Dual Sport rider in mind. Using 3 years of rider feedback as a blueprint for our design, the 2012 model is still lightweight and tough. Made of a 300 denier high density nylon shell, it features the advanced D30 armor in the elbows and shoulders. The 420 denier rip-stop nylon provides protection where it counts, while keeping the jacket flexible. Other improvements include the new slide lock adjustment in the collar that allows up to 1-1/2” adjustment for a personalized fit around the neck. This year’s model still includes the 1.5 liter hydration bladder with removable backpack, as well as the under-the-helmet rain hood to keep water from running down your neck in a rain storm.
The Overpant received requested pockets and an over-the-boot fit for off-road riders and also includes the new D30 armor in the hips and knees.
