Good review. I picked the Rally because it flows more air than the standard, I think because of the back armor. Very meshy and comfy when I wear it. A hint in hot weather is to wear an LD Comfort base layer under it. My Klim Induction is also AA rated, same as the Induction Pro. For 3 season jacket, I wear an Alpinestars Monteria because its really comfy to wear, waterproof, lots of vents and it’s AA rated with level 2 armor. Also has expansion for there tech air, which I assume works with the Klim vest too.
Interesting re the additional airflow the Rally offers. Having not ridden with the standard vest, I assumed the airflow through the Rally would be slightly less due to the additional chest armour. Also, thanks for the correction re the protection level of the Induction jackets.
When you use the off-road algorithm, the vest is not as likely to deploy in a low speed get off, so the chest protectors are there instead. That way you don’t have to replace CO2 cartridges so often.
These are actually my first set of Klim jackets I bought for myself. I had bought a Klim mesh jacket for my wife and really liked the quality. So far I'm really liking them!
Ah, that makes sense. I don't really go offroading either, at least not voluntarily. Probably should consider removing the chest armour to see how much it changes the airflow.
Thank you for the induction Pro review. That's the one I'm looking at as I need a mesh jacket. Thank you
Thanks for sharing!

That makes sense. I don't have the off road algorithm activated anyway, so maybe removing the chest armor is a good idea.
I'm a Klim Fanboy, enjoyed the video 👍

I didn’t need the chest armor because I do on road touring, so I took them out. That made a difference in the airflow.
