2010 Boondocker bibs

[indy28]

Anyone try or have the Arctic Cat boondocker or sno pro bibs? Found a pretty good deal on my size and am in need of some new bibs. Have been considering the motor fist, klim, and HMH also but those are all at least a hundred more. If I can save the hundred and be happy with the AC ones I couldn't complain. Thanks for the help!!!

My wife got me a pair for x-mas. I like them but have only put them on around the house. Wish they didnt advertise the Arctic cat name so much though.

I've tried them on, and seem to fit fairly well, biggest question is the waterproofing and breathability...does the "A-tex" do as advertised? Just wonder if the gortex in Klim, or the Motorfist is worth the extra moola....?

Don't own the bibs but do own a AC backcountry pullover with the Atex for three seasons now and also wear Klim bibs. The Atex isn't quite as good as the Klim goretex but a very close second. Only on a very warm deep day will I get wet and not tell the very end of the day. It was better then first two years then last year also. My klim bibs are going on 4yrs and still like new. I should add I only get 2 trips or around 10 days a year out west and some riding around home. So the 3yrs isn't as much wear as some guys put there gear through in a year.

thanks pretty much what I was waiting to hear a comparison of the two...sounds more and more to maybe just spend the extra 150 and get Klim, just hate to do that if I can get as good as performance from something less expensive...

I got a set of the A-Tex bibs a couple years ago and have never worried about getting wet. I found I could use the extra 150 bucks on other things besides a pair of Klim bibs. Got lucky and the pair I have only have the small A/C logos on the back of the leg in reflective material along with a reflective piping down the leg so pretty "quiet" compared to the race bibs. Its up to you but I have been happy with mine and figured for the price could afford to buy a second pair with the money saved if need be later on. Just my opinion...
