Klim Launches New Motorcycle Armor Compatible With Old Gear

-

Klim has taken a bold step in the world of motorcycle safety by not only developing a new armor system but also establishing an entirely new laboratory to ensure the protection of riders for years to come. For motorcyclists, gear is more than just clothing—it's a lifeline. Without proper armor, riders are vulnerable, risking serious injury or worse. Armor isn't the ultimate solution, but it plays a crucial role in keeping riders safe and allowing them to enjoy their passion for years.

This is why Klim's new Rogue armor system represents a significant advancement. The company didn’t just improve on existing designs; they reimagined the entire process. To achieve this, Klim created two new departments within the company: a Rapid Prototyping Lab and a Hard Parts Department. These developments show that Klim was aiming for something truly revolutionary. And as it turns out, they succeeded—creating a system that’s not only innovative but also compatible with older gear.

According to Klim, the primary goal of the project was to develop armor that is thinner, lighter, and more breathable while maintaining or exceeding previous impact safety levels. After extensive research and testing, the company found that existing options didn’t meet their standards. As a result, they built their own Rapid Prototyping Lab and expanded their Hard Parts Department. They conducted hundreds of impact tests across various compounds and pad structures, all in pursuit of a better armor system.

The Rogue armor system features 14 new armor pads, divided into three categories: Rogue Level 1, Level 2, and Level 2 EXP. The foundation of this system is its ability to meet or exceed both CE Level 1 and Level 2 standards. While CE certification requires impact absorption tests in ambient and wet conditions, Klim aimed to go further by including optional hot and cold tests as well.

Rogue Level 1 and Level 2 armor not only meet these standards but do so while being lighter and thinner than previous designs. This means increased mobility and better breathability, making the gear more comfortable for long rides. Additionally, the new armor will be included in all new and redesigned Klim outerwear starting next year, and it will be available separately for compatibility with older gear.

Rogue Level 2 stands out with its expanded surface area, covering previously underarmored regions. The armor is asymmetrically designed and molded to optimize impact force absorption, coverage, flexibility, and breathability. This makes it ideal for riders who push their limits, whether on the open road or in the wilderness.

Klim announced that a total of 14 new pads will be released in 2026, integrated into every new and redesigned piece of outerwear. The armor will also be available separately and backwards compatible with prior generations of Klim gear. This marks a major milestone in motorcycle safety and sets a new standard for the industry.

For riders looking for enhanced protection without compromising comfort, the new Rogue armor system is a game-changer. It’s clear that Klim is committed to pushing the boundaries of what motorcycle gear can achieve. Whether you're riding through the forest or navigating city streets, the new Rogue armor is ready to keep you safe and comfortable.

The Rise of AI-Powered Real Estate Discovery in Japan In Tokyo, a growing number of Japanese companies are leveraging satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to identify abandoned houses that could be repurposed or sold. This innovative approach is becoming increasingly vital as the country faces a rising number of deserted properties due to its aging population. Where Inc., a startup, offers a service that uses AI trained on tens of thousands of images to detect signs of aging roofs, such as rust and discoloration. These findings are then overlaid on satellite maps, helping users spot properties that may have been left unattended. One of Where Inc.'s users, Kotaro Yasue, recently discovered a two-story wooden house through this service. He was able to contact the owner via a real estate registry. It turned out that the house had been neglected for over a decade, and the owner was unsure how to proceed with its disposal. Yasue, who runs a house rental service company in G...

I Was Healthy Until a Dirty Habit Stopped My Heart

A Rare Case of Cannabis-Induced Cardiac Arrest in a Young, Healthy Woman A 26-year-old woman from Georgia experienced a life-threatening cardiac arrest after smoking marijuana. The incident occurred when her fiancé discovered her unconscious on the bathroom floor, prompting immediate emergency medical intervention. Upon arrival at the hospital, doctors confirmed that she had suffered a cardiac arrest, where the heart suddenly stopped beating. The woman had no known pre-existing health conditions and tested negative for heart-related issues such as arrhythmia. However, she was found to have high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in cannabis responsible for the "high" sensation. Doctors diagnosed her with ventricular fibrillation, a severe heart rhythm disorder that prevents the heart from effectively pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. This led to what they described as a "cannabis-induced cardiac arrest." This case has rais...
