Description
Description
The KLIM Rift Float Jacket is built for trail riders who understand that frozen lakes, overflow, and sketchy ice crossings are a lot less exciting when you start thinking about consequences halfway across. Designed as the world's first standalone GORE-TEX float-assist snowmobile jacket, the Rift combines serious cold-weather warmth, waterproof protection, and integrated flotation technology for riders who spend long days covering miles in brutal winter conditions. The Ascent Float System (AFS) uses mapped closed-cell flotation foam that adds buoyancy, insulation, and impact protection without turning the jacket into a giant pool toy. Combined with heavy 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation and a rugged GORE-TEX shell, the Rift delivers extreme cold-weather comfort while maintaining mobility for aggressive trail riding. Warm, waterproof, and built with safety in mind, the Rift Float Jacket is basically designed for riders who still say "the ice is probably fine" while quietly appreciating every extra layer of protection they can get.
