Frostynuts Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Rode a 150 mile loop with an 850 Polaris yesterday. Surprisingly, no tow rope required. Gonna give it another chance to blow it up again to-day. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostynuts Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Tons of snow and awesome trails along the St. Lawrance Seaway. Had to cut our day short to-day to about 3 kms cause all the guys with the new doo 700 dollar helmets couldn,t keep the freezing rain melted on their faceshield. Was a shocker to all the guys that have them, and they weren,t very happy about it. You wouldn,t want to get caught far away from home in freezing rain wearing one, cause you would basically have to drive with the shield up to see the trail. A heads up to anyone that owns one.

And my electric shield worked great the whole time as well, unlike the 700 dollar doo lids. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shield is non electric, but the helmet is suppose to get hot inside, and does have a nice red safety light that is very visable on the back of it, when it is plugged in.

Hot inside, seriously? I can't help but think that would cause condensation/fogging on the inside of the shield? I use to wear a No-Fog because of that but since I went electric, I haven't worn my No-Fog since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticCrusher Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Looking to upgrade the stock shocks on the Cat to help it ride more like the Poo. Anyone using Fox or Elka coilovers, any big difference? Frosty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
