I did quite a bit of research on cold riding gear so I can extend my riding season in both the Spring and Fall. I'm normally a leather guy so having textile is new.
Anyways, i looked at what I can from various manufacturers and tried some other jackets on such as Teknic, Icon, Alpinestars and Rev-It. Many good products out there, but in the end, it seemed to me, for serious protection from inclement weather and general safety protection, the Klim (Latitude) is a technical system for layering, based on the comfort of the rider. The shell of the Latitude is better than anything else from the aforementioned products. What the Latitude lacks is a warm liner. Easily fixed with what I already had at home. The layering makes it simple and easy to feel protected and comfortable.
After having seen others using this gear, many utilize heated jackets underneath for added warmth in winter riding. I now have a Powerlet jacket in sights when on sale.
Overall riding with this Latitude model from Klim, it keeps the wind out and gives you a feeling of wearing some armor. As far as the collar goes, it takes a bit of work to get it right (comfortable), as it depends on what sweaters you bunch underneath and type of helmet. But it does manage to keep the wind off the neck after adjustment.
Perhaps one criticism is it is quite stiff. But I can't be discouraged by this personally, as I like the feeling that it feels like it is so much tougher built than others on the market.
The Latitude, as an outer shell, is much more jacket than most that have all layers included. It is an Ultimate exterior form of protection that has Goretex built into it's skin and many other features such as quality zippers, pockets and drawstring to make this the ultimate cold weather/foul weather protection.
If you want a tough as hec jacket to keep out rain and cold, look no further.

Does this jacket Come with shoulder, Elbow or back protector or CAN we add some to it if there is none.
It comes with shoulder, back and elbow armor. My understanding is the back armor is upgradeable.

Level of warmth for this jacket?
I understand the jacket only omes with the outer shell...no liners. At what temperatures is this jacket withstanding cold-wise before additional liners are needed?
