Lucky, the new ones only go to the waist. I’m bummed I didn’t get a set before they changed the zipper configuration.It does.

I'll be honest, I don't think that would bother me... I'd honestly probably would prefer it that way. I don't unzip my current one down past the legs. I still hop in them like a pair of pants. The only time it's nice is putting on boots.Lucky, the new ones only go to the waist. I’m bummed I didn’t get a set before they changed the zipper configuration.
Can anyone recommend a place that will repair a zipper on my Badlands pants? Klim won't and have been pretty unresponsive.
Regular suspenders or anything special? I'm having delightful issues with my riding pants since starting my diet/exercise last year.I might actually be able to wear these without the need for the suspenders.
Here is a partial answer at least:Hi everyone. I was hoping there would be some folks who use Klim gear. I am waffling between buying the Carlsbad or the new Latitude.
Most of my riding is long distance on pavement (to get to the twisty parts)
Thoughts?

KLIM suspsenders. One attach point center rear and one each side of front zipper. There are loops already in the pants for them.Regular suspenders or anything special? I'm having delightful issues with my riding pants since starting my diet/exercise last year.
I have some Klim suspenders you can have as my velcro waistband field mod now negates my need for them. Now where did I pit them? I'm traveling now and will know in a week or so.Ahh well, guess that's out for me then.
Thanks for the offer, I said not for me because I don't have Klim pants and my RevIt pants wouldn't be compatible with them. Appreciate it though.I have some Klim suspenders you can have as my velcro waistband field mod now negates my need for them. Now where did I pit them? I'm traveling now and will know in a week or so.
Been there, done that, and you're correct, that gear probably saved you from a lot of extra pain. It's only then you realize it's worth the money.Tested my Latitude gear Friday in NWA. Get-off at unknown speed in 30mph left hander. It's dirty, smudged, but 100% intact. No tears, rips, pulled seams, etc, that I saw. I apparently hit a sign and went 30ish feet down a ravine. Burst fracture T7, small crack T5, four broken ribs, so the impact was significant. I don't know if it saved my life, but the recovery is going to be much more comfortable because of it.
I'm a believer.

Land. I heard them ordering the helo and told them I preferred ground transportation. Apparently I had done well enough with my protocols that they eventually agreed. They didn't want to, but I insisted, not sure how I managed that.
I went from Harrison to Mercy Hospital in Springfield. I have absolutely NO complaints, except for the food. It was worse than I expected. And I expected horrible. I assume that's standard and not a legit reason to complain.
