Since the start of the collaboration between Local Outerwear and 15-time German downhill champion Marcus Klausmann, intensive work has been carried out on a line specially designed for downhill racing. A great deal of emphasis was placed on Klausmann's many years of experience and the cuts were adapted according to his ideas. "In contrast to our normal cuts, the Klausmann jersey has a much narrower cut in order to offer the wind as little contact surface as possible. That was extremely important to Marcus," explains Local Outerwear Managing Director Dominik Kronauer. Marcus also had a hand in the design. In terms of function, Local Outerwear relies on the tried-and-tested polyester with DryClim, which is also used in the standard series.

Only the most essential features are used in the Klausmann shorts. The shorts have two zipped side pockets, elasticated inserts at the front crotch and seat for optimum mobility and an elasticated waistband adjustment. Laser-perforated cut-out sections in the inner thigh area provide the necessary ventilation. Thanks to a strong and hard-wearing material, the polyester shorts are also suitable for tougher use without being too heavy or stiff. A DWR coating protects the rider from water. The Klausmann line is officially part of the 2015 collection from Local Outerwear, but will be available in stores everywhere from the end of July 2014.
