Product Description:
KLIM® invented the formula for creating superior technical apparel, which is designed to dominate the full spectrum of environments and situations. KLIM® carries a history and prestige of developing the most technical snow and motorcycle apparel on the market with gear that protects against the most extreme elements while enhancing the user’s experience.
The KTS™ VIGILANT™ Jacket and Pant are weatherproof, flame-resistant (Optional) (no-melt, no-drip, no-fuse), extremely durable and offer operator-specific functionality that will perform as it needs to when the unpredictable occurs.
FLAME-RESISTANT (Optional)
There are a number of reasons to wear flame-resistant garments – from the catastrophic to the negligible and from the frequent to the unlikely; explosion, burning fuel, flame, hot gun barrels, hot vehicle exhaust, hot parts, hot shells, drying near a fire and many other day-to-day risks.
Designed with a flame retardant Nomex® outer layer and a durably waterproof, windproof, and breathable GORE-TEX® fabric, the KTS™ VIGILANT™ Jacket and Pant keep the user comfortable by allowing moisture to escape from the garment. GORE-TEX® fabric maintains protection over time, even after exposure to JP-8, DEET, petroleum, oils, and lubricants.
KIT ACCESS
Preparing for your day brings up several questions: Will the gear fit over my body armor? If I zip up my gear how quickly will I be able to access my kit? Will my gear hold up to unpredictable circumstances? Should I sacrifice comfort or protection?
Now you don’t have to choose. The KTS™ VIGILANT™ Jacket and Pant are designed from the ground up to be compatible with your body armor (specifically, a stand-alone plate carrier) and accessories while simultaneously being weatherproof and breathable.
The front entry panel with magnetic closure allows quick access to center-mounted magazines while the jacket is fully zipped.
The body armor gusset on the back of the jacket prevents any constriction of movement and allows room for your kit on the back of the plate carrier.
Zippered entries allow access to kit on your sides and back without removing or unzipping the jacket.
WEATHERPROOF
KLIM® gear is extensively field-tested in rain, dirt, snow and wind to ensure it exceeds the highest standards and passes GORE-TEX® quality requirements. The KTS™ VIGILANT™ Jacket and Pant are GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY® with all of your kit in place underneath.
DURABILITY
Your TTPs and physical training exist to allow you to react and respond in any situation. Your gear must support the TTPs and keep up with your activity level and the conditions in which you find yourself. The KTS™ VIGILANT™ Jacket and Pant are heavy-duty combat-ready shells.
TACTICAL ATHLETE
The KTS™ VIGILANT’s fit is designed for the Tactical Athlete’s body, articulated to compliment your range of motion and is constructed with Nomex® thread, bartac-reinforced stress points and Superfabric® strategically placed in high-wear areas. The entire system is machine washable and will continue to deliver through many assignments.

Looks like great clothing. Not outrageous expensive but way over built for mere civie use. So question being, are service folks spending this kind of coin on their clothing for duty?
The government is buying stuff like this.
I see, so a unit would make a request for said gear, bought by government and then issues out? If so that’s good and in turn my tax dollars help pay for this?
Myself personally would really like the Klim Jacket. I don’t always buy stuff for the usability of it but rather the collectibility it may hold in future.
The Gore-Tex pants are not overly functional that they would be unusable day to day, if the wearer is willing to wear camo in public. The top is very, very mission oriented. At the price, this is great for mobility use (that’s Klim’s forte) for hunting, shooting, and of course mil and LE operations in vehicles, especially exposed vehicles.
I’m curious to the sizing of this garment as this is for very specific use. It says sized to the tactical athlete…
Does anyone know if these are oversized (I would imagine) to fit over your kit as stated? Are they true-to-size for the “tactical athlete” but have extra where it counts?
Look at the photo.
Sized to be worn over combat uniform with JPC or like sized PC. I wear a size medium combat uniform, the medium jacket and pants fit over it, with no notable friction points or snagging. If you buy this to your size and throw it over shorts and a tee, you will feel it’s too big. I’m 5’8, 170, stocky build.
I did test both large and medium jackets, large was too big (in uniform and armor). The item has bottom, and waist adjusting points. The pics do not do this justice, we will be doing a video to display the crazy amount of product capability brought by the garments. ie, full leg zips, removable sleeves, multiple modes of donning, pack access without removal, field piss friendly fly, zips for putting hands in pockets, and much more.
Thanks Jon! That’s exactly the info I was looking for.
Only reason I never quite took the plunge on an FS Anorak is being softshell vs a gore-tex. L5 under armour I’ve found fine and manageable, getting stuck in L6 under armour and maybe not having the opportunity to take it off (situation dependant)… killer. It wasn’t really an issue back in the days of web belts but these sorts of garments are what people have been needing for a long time now. Known a fair few guys buy insulating/water resilient jackets 2 to 3 sizes too large so they can just throw them on, but obviously that’s far from ideal in various aspects.
I would have sacrificed close relatives for this gear 20 years ago, when I did recce in open Merc GD’s.
If I still had a need for it, I would get it in a heartbeat.
