Klim Karbonite Mesh

Klim uses industrial grade high strength mesh called Karbonite Mesh in the induction pro jacket. This mesh is engineered deliver class leading airflow comfort warmest riding, letting air move freely through the jacket. Riders on forums say the airflow is so strong it feels like riding in a t-shirt, even in a heatwave.

Karbonite Mesh Provides Durable Protection

Karbonite Mesh is much tougher than standard polyester mesh, with some sources claiming it’s up to 750% stronger than regular mesh used in other jackets.

The mesh is flexible and light but resists tearing and abrasion, so you get comfort warmest riding without giving up safety.

I’ve seen riders compare it to a patio misting system—air cools as it passes through, and the mesh stands up to real-world use.

Karbonite Mesh Balances Comfort And Strength

The mesh covers most of the jacket, with denser fabrics like Cordura at the elbows shoulders for extra protection.

This design keeps the jacket comfortable flexible main while maintaining abrasion resistance in key areas. I noticed the mesh stays soft and doesn’t fade, thanks to a UV-resistant treatment, and it’s easy to wear for long rides in the hottest months.

If you want a mesh jacket engineered deliver class leading airflow and tough enough for real riding environments providing exceptional protection, the Klim induction pro jacket’s Karbonite Mesh is a standout feature. I’d pick this mesh over standard polyester any day for summer rides.
