Klim I think is better repelling water but everything else I’d choose FXR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re probably 6-7 years old now, I’ll get new ones for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said they only asked that he prove the old ones were destroyed so he had to cut them up. I thought I got a wet butt last year but then again it was -18f so I wasn't sure if it was froze.

Legend Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) You are supposed to wash and dry your Klim gear. I do. I wear it out on trees and running boards before anything else. Lasts about 3-4 years. But I am rough on stuff. My Motorfist bibs lasted 2 years. Bud has older FXR. Likes it but, the outer shell gets wet and stays wet. Though he doesn't get wet inside. It maybe better by now IDK. I think most companies make good stuff now. Depends on how you use it and you getting the right model for your usage.

Beavis and Butt-Head Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 was surprised to see pricing on FXR line up is almost as much as Klim costs including FXR helmets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irv Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have not been overly impressed with my FXR gear since day 1. I get cold in the chest area while riding and I have tried numerous things over the years to stay warm. I also wear a Teck Vest but I still feel the cold. The thing is most say their's keeps them toasty but not mine for some reason? My sled has a mid height factory windshield but I assume it directs the air into my chest? Also, unless the technology has improved, I remember seeing some vids where they stated the FXR Flotex technology was the worst for keeping you afloat. It works, just not as well as the others. Overall, I'd likely never go back to FXR if and when the time comes. Is there such a thing as a spray or something similar that I can apply to the front of my jacket to help stop the wind? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I don’t wear heavy gear so, when we have to put on that FAST stuff at the Duluth SX track for the cameras, it feels like armor to me. It’s big, stiff, heavy, bulky and hot as fuck. I guess I don’t know how it would feel compared to other cold weather riding gear though but, I know I don’t want to wear it. It’s hilarious to me that ISOC tries to keep accountability of these jackets. I always wonder, who the fuck wants one of these things? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
