Klim

I switched over to the new Helium 50 last year and gave my Nephew my Klim gear....I want my Klim gear back!
Mountain addiction is the only snowmobile clothing manufacture that I know of that is made in the USA. Made by snowmobilers for snowmobilers. Last year They purchased all new high dollar equipment just to make the gear. Made in Yakima Washington at the old sears tent and awning. Which I think is called Yakima tent and awning now.

It´s available in every color, as long as it´s black
All jokes aside. I personally like to have some color in my gear. something that is bright and makes you visible in the backcountry. I think that mountain specific gear is to plain looking, in other words to black.
I am going to buy some new gear for this season and I am lening towards Klim powerxross pullover in orange. I have been wearing for many years, for the most part an old Arctic cat( I ride cats) snocross pullover.
I have the Motofist stomper boots and they are great.But as much as I would like to try there stuff, I just think there color combo is very uninteresting.

I've got klim gear from the shoulders down and I've also got the motorfist pullover jacket and a pair of motorfist gloves. By the sounds of some of you, I must be a real douch for wearing my Klim jacket, bibs, boots and gloves all at the same time on the same day. Apparently sledding and schoolyard fashion gossip go hand in hand for you. Funny thing about that "douch bag klim fashion show" I'm supposedly putting on is that I am completely dry at the end of the day. I ride very hard and have tried the "cool and different" snowboard brand name stuff from sport check all the way to sled manufacture clothing. Motorfist and klim are by far, leaps and bounds, better than any sled clothing manufactured by ANY snowmobile manufacture or ski/snowboard brand. If "unique" and "different" are the most important requirements in your back country personal protective equipment choices, you should give your head a shake. I'd love to spend a night on the mountain with you in your sweat soaked gear while I'm dry and cozy. You would definitely look cool.....and be cool, double whammy! Congrats! Lemme guess, you are the same guys with the cool sled wraps with neon colors everywhere too.......just to be unique lol. Or bashing through the trees in your ski/snowboard gear and come out at the end of the day just shredded and torn. Seen it happen too many times to friends who were saying the exact same thing. They wear klim and motorfist now. Why? Because it works and is built to take the punishment they subject it too. Then again maybe you are the guys who like to make your way to an open area with a couple slopes, take a poke or two, drink beer, BS and go home at the end of the day without breaking a sweat. In this case any gear will suit you and you might just assume that it is fantastic gear and will work for everyone who rides a sled.

I like to be dry and comfortable and until motorfist came out klim was the standard. You can try hmk and fxr but unless its gore tex or event it's going to get you wet and I don't like spending my whole night drying stuff out for the next day. Everyone I knew had full klim and if they didnt have a full klim they did the next year. Now it's a mixture of motorfist and klim. Coming from the Moto world mixing brands is lame to me fox jersey, Thor boots, oneal pants, stupid.
Sorry about that,,, for what reason?
I've been dry and plenty warm unless just setting in the lot. If you are an active rider the Doo stuff seems to me to be great.
