Solution to melting pants

[thejean]

How about the Stealth pants and jacket? I tried them on, seem nice and light and stretchy but I was a bit concerned about durability relative to the Togwotee bibs and Valdez jacket. Thoughts?

Great gear. just $$$+.

Snowbikes from what i can tell, tend to tear up gear a faster than a on a sled. unless your name is Chris B. Riding in the trees as tight as we can really put on the wear and tear.

Yeah, I was thinking more from a lightweight / low fatigue / articulation factor might make it worth it. But if it rips on the first tree I bump into that won't be good. I really felt that the Valdez jacket with the Gore-Tex Pro shell was considerably tougher feeling, albeit a bit heavier.

I don't know about others but I don't feel I'm moving around all that much. If I stand up it's only to to flex. Very really do I leave the seat. Unless it's to unstick the bike!

Good point. I was actually also considering the numerous times I am off the bike picking it up because I've dropped it yet again but the solution to that is just to become a better rider! Lol

I am really leaning towards the Valdez and Togwotee bib at the moment with Adrenaline GTX boots.

I don't have any experience with those bibs, I bought the klimate ones. They are really nice minus my nice hole I burned in them. If anything I'd say those are a bit too warm for my liking but as for the boot; they are excellent. Good support and nice And warm. Everyone I ride with has that boot and they have been holding up so far

Just an FYI that I spoke to a very pretty lady on the Klim customer support chat who informed me that the GoreTex Pro material is indeed stronger than the Stealth material.

Now my only issue is making sure the bib will fit over my shirt-style Leatt upper body armour.

That's correct. The stealth is not built to be the strongest. But the light and most breathable instead.
