KLIM Badlands Aero Pro Gloves

Unlike the Badlands GTX Long, the Aero Pro trades touring-grade waterproofing for superior ventilation. The little air scoops made of leather built into the fingers are a nice touch—this is an aggressively well ventilated glove.

Built to meet the demands of the intercontinental adventurer, the Badlands Aero Pro is one of two pairs to consider taking on a big trip—these for hot days, and a waterproof option for when the skies open up.

A slight redesign of the original Badlands Aero sees more discreet knuckle armor and extra rubberized padding around the wrist.

While its palm is fully perforated a triple DWR (durable waterproof resistance) coating on the “rodeo leather” glove lets the Badlands Aero Pro shake off light rain without issue. But at the end of the day this glove is meant to take IN the elements, not keep them out. And water will come in with the copious airflow.

If you subscribe to the "Horses for Courses" gear philosophy, it’s hard to find a better warm weather ADV glove than this one.
