SOLD

I tried, but I can't do HI-Viz! I purchased this jacket this winter and couldn't wait to try it out. Today was the day that it broke 60 degrees so I cut the tags off and wore it on a two hour ride today. The jacket looks great, fits awesome, and was dead comfortable even though it was stiff and new out of the box. The only problem with this jacket is I have an aversion to Hi-viz. I thought I could do the right thing to improve my visibility, but I can't take that green next to my red bike. I would like to offer someone a great deal on this jacket so I can purchase a new one in all black. The Apex retails for $799.99 but I will let this one go for $650.00 shipped CONUS so I can get a black Apex that I can really love.

This jacket is in perfect condition and will be packaged in the original Klim packaging with all hang tags and hanger. I do not smoke and the jacket did not get dirty or sustain any bug hits on its two hour Minnesota lakes area ride today. I have worn the Latitude for the last three years and this Apex is even more comfortable on the FJR because the body is a little shorter and does not bunch up like the Latitude. I am 6'1" 205 pounds, 45" chest and 36" waist. This jacket fits me very well with room for a electric or fleece jacket underneath. The body of the jacket is generous and would take a pretty good size belly if needed. I would say it would fit someone up to 230 - 240 lbs with a slightly larger chest and up to a 40" waist.

You're an idiot! That jacket actually looks bad ass next to that bike. You hose jockeys don't have a red truck and a high viz truck? Park them next to each other. They look pretty good.

However, if you insist, GLWTS. That's a good price.

 
I bought the updated Klim Latitude Hi-Vis jacket back in the fall and have worn it a few times. I absolutely love it. I would have been all over this deal for an Apex had I not done that. And I agree, that jacket looks amazing with the bike! GLWS, but if someone doesn't step up quickly, it may be a sign you're supposed to keep it :)

 
That jacket looks good and maybe if you had a matching helmet.....

Well I think I mentioned about my aversion to Hi-Viz so I don't think I will buy a Ni-Viz helmet. If I did replace the helmet then I would have to sell the new 2 hour old Shoei RF-1200 helmet that I am wearing. The best option is to replace the jacket with a black Apex or learn to like the Hi-Viz Apex.

Yuck! That's worse than a yellow fire truck!
Have to agree with you there. I'll say this: I'm not really a high-viz guy either; however, I took a chance and bought a Speed and Strength Urge Overkill jacket in black and high-viz. After the first time I wore it, I decided I really liked it. I think I like it better than a red jacket, and red is my favorite color. IF I didn't have 3 jackets in my closet that I need to get rid of, and a very new S&S jacket, I'd be all over this. Pretty sure my wife would kill me though.
