Anyone have any personal experience with this? I'm looking at buying a pair of Klim Latitude pants, since my 6 year old First Gear TPG pants are coming apart, but not ready to spring for the jacket. Will the pants zip to my First Gear jacket? I called Klim to ask and sadly, the person answering the phone, could not tell me.

I haven't tried but I have tried it with other brands and they wouldn't mate properly I am now using KLIM pants and jacket they do zip together. If the zipper is the same size and tooth size it should work but my guess is they make them different intentionally.

Do you have an old non-Klim jacket around you can try?

I had a similar issue. TourMaster pants and Olympia Jacket. My garmensts came with both halves of the zipper. One side attached and the other not. I took the unattached halves from both garments and made a "Zipper Adapter". See below. Now my Olympia jacket will attach to my TourMaster pants.

I've never figured out how to zip it. Do you zip it before you put the pants on? I can't reach that far behind my back to zip it with them on.
