I'm a Klim guy, but I was just curious to see what everyone's using for gear, and how it's working for you. I would have set this up as a poll, but I have no idea how to make that work....

Klim all the way. Just purchased a new Valdez jacket and togwotee bibs, and I also have Klim boots. Great product.

Used to use Castle gear. It was alright. Got my first set of Klim Togwotee bibs last year, and I absolutely love them. I am always dry. Even when riding in real wet snow. Probably going to get a Klim jacket this year to. Also have some klim gloves. My hands would sweat in all the other gloves I had, and they would eventually get cold. These gloves breath, and my hands stay warm and dry all day. I guess you could say I really like their products. Jesse.
Question for all the Klim Valdez guys. What do you wear underneath them? I bought a Klimate last year because I wear it everywhere, not just riding, and love it, but was thinking of buying an uninsulated one this year....
I started wearing KLIM the year they came out and continue to wear them top to bottom, and got the first and now the biggest dealer up and running in colorado.......(not with-out a fight=your welcome!),
I like shoei hats, and any light weight leather glove, and wear Schnee boots.

Rheima Jacket
Togwottee Bibs
TNA Gear Storm Gloves
B Wear Vest
Scott fleece Pants
Light weight fleece underwear shirt (or two)
Pack a Micro Fleece liner for the coat if I hafta stay out.
Insulated leather/cordura boots, same ones I hunt in.
The coat is getting a little old and I'm looking at Valdez/Tomahawk replacement

I wore a FXR jacket the last 2 years with a liner (not water proof this is why I bought a KLIM jacket, got rained on last year up in B.C.). I ended up taking the liner out probably about 50% of the times I went riding, after we got to a play area. I will probably buy somekind of fleece jacket to go under the Valdez jacket.
I got klim boots and bibs last lear and love them. I use underarmor for base layer with fleece mid bottoms. Rarely need a mid upper layer unless it's really cold. Also love my TNA storm gloves, they are light but still have a durable leather palm. Last thing that I need is a new coat, yellow gets dirty as hell.

Klim on Klim on Klim. Layers!
I have tried everything. I have had factory leathers, columbia, military spec, snowboard gear and of course fox. Last winter I left my jacket at home and my buddy hook me up with his spare klim jacket for the day and lets just say I went out and spent over 800 bucks on new klim jacket, pants and fleece liners for both. The stuff is the best it keeps you dry and cool. I didnt get cold or wet once. I have not personally wore arctivia but I bought my wife a jacket and bibs by arctivia this year (the reason not klim she didnt like there colors) and she said she is dry and warm so I guess there good too. The only down fall I had with klim when I was looking at purchasing them is there sizing is a little wierd. You definatly got to try them on before purchasing. Oh in the spring I wear my Motorcycle pants and a old but cool oil stained yellow fox shirt!!!
Klim head to toe
Slednecks outerwear, DC boots, Fox racing gloves
Arctiva Jacket (my daily wear as well as sled jacket) and Slednecks zip off cargo pants. No complaints about either, I'm always comfortable and dry. I had HMK highmark boots, litterally rode the soles off them. They were definatly warm, but other than that I wasn't real impressed with them-too bulky, and certain areas should have more flex. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to replace them with yet. My helmet is a one industries Kombat and is my favorite out of the collection I've owned.
686 pants and jacket. HMK Pro BOA boots. Dakine mits. Fly helmet. oakley gogs. Of course you can't forget the tekvest!!! AvalungII and ABS Escape 15.
sledneck or Helly Hanson shell, Old Navy and Walmart fleece. UA for a base layer with wool socks. HMK boots, TNA storm gloves or fox Therma Paws if it's warm. Wear Cabelas brand gore-tex bibs. Picked them up for 100 bucks in the bargain cave. Probably never drop the coin for Klim bibs if I can keep doign the Cabelas route. Would like a Klim coat next though.
