KLIM is a leading adventure gear brand, but it makes one leather street jacket, and that limits its place here. The Sixxer Leather Jacket costs $549.99 and its spec sheet lists 0.9 to 1.1 mm premium cowhide with Helcor leather trim, engineered perforations matched to a mesh liner, a moisture-wicking antimicrobial satin liner, and a zipper guard on the hem to protect the tank. It has adjustable elbow armor pockets compatible with D3O CE Level 1 and 2 armor and a spacer mesh back pad pocket, but the armor is sold separately, so the real price is higher than the tag. Storage is good, with a zip chest pocket that has a drain hole, two hand pockets and two inside pockets. Sizes run SM to 2X. We compared documented features and published prices; the Sixxer scores lower on quality than the sport jackets because its hide is thinner and it ships without protectors.
