I do only use them for the snowmobile however. I recall they were rated for -70 I believe. Never had cold or wet feet with them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Motorfist gear is very poorly designed and manufactured. In 2016 they made a huge push at Iron Dog racers to use their gear for the race. Most guys figured out during practice that their shit was far inferior to North Face or Klim. It would fall apart in a few thousand miles of practice riding. The few guys who did race with Motorfist gear claim that it was the coldest they had ever been in their life. Shit just fell apart. Not a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to hot where your feet sweat and def not too cold. I need new inserts for the bottoms though since mine are a bit worn out from years and years of use.

Anler Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I bought a pair of klim boots about 5 years ago and they have been great. I have never had cold feet in them and I only wear regular socks. I think the retail on them was $229.00. I got them at the local Yamaha dealer for $129.00. only thing is they have a Yamaha logo on them. I love all the klim stuff, I have a 4 year old keweenaw jacket and some bibs. Both have been awesome. Sorry about the boots bro, I'll make sure to never to business with those faggots.

Hopefully they would go with that, But hopefully you can see the need for them to avoid "customer scams" which I guarantee happen frequently. I have heard and seen horror stories from some of our managers. I bought your laptop 9 months ago and it has stopped working, you need to replace it. We know they bought it 9 months ago but when it's looked at it's obvious from the cracks in the shell and the broken screen it's been dropped, smashed or whatever. The customer gets irate when told sorry... the warranty doesn't cover it being abused. What about the dealer you got them from. Really it's their job to deal with the manufacturer for you. Im not trying to pass off some ripped up boats that I damaged as that would be a fair comparison to your scenario. They won’t even look at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 L.L. Bean bitches. Took my Maui Jims back after 4 years because the screw came out, the lens fell and broke. No receipts, no questions, no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted January 12, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 12, 2018 I know as a sledder I shouldn't buy Patagonia and TBH my wife likes it more than me but you can shit a zipper 10 years after you buy a coat and they replace the whole coat for nada.
