Havoc Bib

[Hawkster]

Can anyone speak for the fit ?

Just showed up for the better half and she was very disappointed . Figured it might have something to do with fitting a guy instead of a woman but when I squeezed into them they still had the crapped my pants look going .

I guess they figured most dirt bike riders are accustomed to passing blood so room for diapers is required

By the way I wear their Overland pant and if it wasn't for the half leg zipper I'd say they where perfect , fit is excellent for knee braces and I have no problem wearing them over a sixteen hour day . They breath very well and for her that would be to much and that is also the reason why she doesn't have them .

One more thing since it was such a disappointment , why do they call this pant a bib ? Not to mention the fit between the legs feels like there's an equestrian saddle wedged there .

Maybe this is a blemished one , very disappointed since they already make excellent snowmobile and motorcycle pants .

Again , anyone have any feed back on this pant ?

Sincere question... What kind of fit were you expecting?

Do you feel the overland pant fits better?

Could you take a few minutes to post up some photos?

I / we were expecting a fit like a motocross pant . A pant that the foot pegs won't cut up so easily and also it's my fault for not noticing that they have no D3 hip protection . We both wear knee braces so the padding is removed .

Not to mention the loose fit is not what a one ski/motocross rider wants when things go bad . I didn't even take that into consideration since they know how to make moto pants .

She is 5'4" and small framed , draw a line basically down the back of her fleece and the rest is dead air space .

The second pic I squeezed into them , could only imagine what they would look like in a my size , the third is the Overland .

first i would contact klim. they have been great to work with whenever i have had a question/concern/issue. assuming it's not a defect, i'm wondering if the feedback they are getting is the reasoning "behind" this. if their test group of snowbikers sits down the majority of time, they may have decided more room in the seat could reduce binding when sitting. i picked up their stealth gear for the upcoming season in hopes that the flexibility would help reduce binding. i even considered their new one-piece but having concerns about binding, i would have to try one on first. best of luck.

I have the badland "bib" and it is not a trim-fitting garment either. I do wear padded pants under it so the space is nice for that.

Thanks guys , all the above makes sense .

I was actually thinking about what you said Jeff when I was posting those pics about how the bike kits sit down more .

That is one thick padding between the material in the rear end , there should be no way a rider chills back there not to mention the material free floats so the seat shouldn't prematurely wear out .

We've bought plenty of Klim gear and their return policy is common sense business .

Creative criticism for the hard core , you can not cross over sleds and sledding gear to a true one ski and what it's capable of . Until that is figured out it will always take a back seat to a one ski .

The havoc bib is my favorite pant. The fit is excellent and true to size. For reference I wear 34-36 waist pants and wear large in the havoc bib. For he snowbike they are perfect. Genuine leather inside the knee down to the cuff. The cut of the pant is definitely relaxed, but not bulky. I have worn them as an adventure bike cold weather pant as well. ??Klim

I have been riding with Klim Traverse pants and they work awsome together with their Tomahawk jacket. People get snow up their jacket, but with the snow prevention of the jacket I have maybe gotten snow there 3 times in 3 years. Only things I had to fix was suspenders and pushbutton locks for the lower part of the pants to prevent snow coming in. Super happy with hem and very comfortable even for 12 hours of Snowbike riding.

In all seriousness, try the motorfist snowbike bib. I looked both the klim and motorfist bib over at haydays and the motorfist looked better all around to me.

Rebel by far!!

And NO leather on the Motorfist Rebel bib to soak up the water. It has burn proof Tencate fabric instead.
