Autumn Visibility with KLIM: Hi-Vis and Bio-Recognition for Safer Rides

Share your love

Sprache wechseln: German

Autumn brings unpredictable weather. Temperatures drop, rain showers come and go, and visibility on the road often gets worse. Good, rapid recognition in traffic becomes an even more critical safety factor than it already is. KLIM, the American premium motorcycle apparel brand, shows that this need for visibility can be addressed without sacrificing style. By using “day-glow” high-visibility colours—known at KLIM simply as Hi-Vis—the company proves that safety elements can be both effective and visually appealing.

Whether you ride long-distance tours or tackle rugged adventure routes, KLIM offers a wide range of jackets with Hi-Vis panels across both categories. These bright sections are carefully combined with strategically positioned reflective elements. The goal is to ensure that riders are immediately and unmistakably recognised as human beings, not just moving objects. KLIM calls this standard Bio-Recognition, and it is built into every one of their products.

Badlands, Latitude and Altitude

The result is a collection of striking designs for anyone who values safety as much as performance. All jackets come with the GORE-TEX promise—Guaranteed to Keep You Dry!—and feature highly efficient ventilation systems. This makes them excellent companions for year-round use, offering reliable protection from the elements while keeping the rider visible and stylish in every season.
