What's a good alternative to Klim gear? I sent my Latitude pants to them to repair a broken zipper and mend a few minor tears. They refused and returned them. Their quality seems to be going downhill and their customer service is awful.
Thanks!
 
I loved my Rev-It gear. i’m all aerostich these days.

any tailor should be willing to repair that zipper.
 
Yea, Rev-it is good - they have Euro sizing, too, which is better for me. Only Klim Kodiak, which I’ve got, has that. Rest of their stuff is too boxy on me.

Rukka is top-drawer stuff, apparently - never owned it. Sure priced like it is, though.
Also worth a look now, Alpinestars.

Mosko is getting into it now, too. Might be worth a look.

Oh, and almost forgot. BMW Moto has an extensive line of riding stuff and they just overhauled their whole lineup. Saw it at their flagship store in Munich in July when I was there. They’ve finally decided to embrace Goretex, which they avoided forever. I had their jacket and pants - the GS Dry up top, Rallye 3 bottom. Absolutely loved the GS Dry jacket - did everything. Looked fantastic. And Euro siizing. I’d recommend whether you’re on their team or not.

Speaking of Germany, if you happen to be in Europe before you next need stuff, Stadler makes awesome stuff. Also spendy. https://www.stadler-bekleidung.de/en/.
Wish they distributed to US. Too expensive, now, to import. Crap exchange rate to the Euro doesn’t help, either, even when you’re in country over there.

How 'bout Leatt? 7.5 pants look interesting. Also the Mosko Moto Woodsman.

Mosko makes great stuff and their customer service is world class. Their stuff isn't cheap, but there's deals to be had on gently used stuff if you're patient. This link is a place to buy and sell used Mosko gear that is run by Mosko.

 
Have you checked the other man'f repair policies? 'stich has limited repair capabilities on anything older then 15 years.
