KLIM Technical Riding Gear and Dirtwise with Shane Watts Team Up

January, 2012 — Rigby, Idaho

KLIM Technical Riding Gear and legendary off-road racer Shane Watts are proud to announce a partnership effective immediately. As an official sponsor of the DirtWise Academy of Offroad Riding, KLIM will be the exclusive apparel worn by Watts and his staff during their packed year of popular riding clinics.

The combination of KLIM’s off-road-specific design, construction and ultra-functionality along with a heritage of unmatched durability make it a perfect match for Shane Watts—one of the most well-known names in off-road racing and instruction—and his excellent instructional schools.

"Throughout the last few years of conducting our DirtWise Riding schools I have had plenty of students participate who were decked out in a full set of KLIM riding apparel,” Watts stated. “The gear seemed to be a very durable and practical design, which is exactly the type of person/rider that I am.

“During casual conversation with these students they all totally raved about their investment. I want riding gear that will last a long time and that is very functional in its design. After having used the KLIM riding gear for a few weeks I'm now so impressed by how I can be warm and cozy, yet not restricted, while riding in the morning at 30 degrees but then thanks to a quick pull on a few strategically placed zippers I'll also be cool and comfortable later that day when the weather hits the high 70's! I can't wait for summer to get here so as I can make the most of their large range of vented gear."

All of us at KLIM look forward to working with Shane Watts and the DirtWise Academy crew in 2012. Through his valuable feedback and testing, we’re sure to learn more ways to improve our gear. Watts held 51 two-day schools in 2011 (that’s almost every weekend of the year!) so there will be plenty of feedback, we’re sure! To us, this is the perfect way to introduce more people to riding gear that exceeds their expectations and to get the jump on the next generation of truly technical riding gear.
