SSFB Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Been out of the game for a while but am buying an 11 Crossfire 800 this week. Only 1600 miles and I'm getting it for $4k. I definitely need a new helmet and boots along with balaclava, as well as base and mid layers. Where is everyone buying their gear nowadays? I've been out of it for so long I'm sure I don't even remember some of the good places to buy from. Pic of the sled. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of season sales will start soon also check eBay I like the Cat TXI helmets with the heated shield and visor. You can always find a replacement shield in a pinch at any Cat dealer Edited January 27, 2019 by Mainecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dealers have their apparel at good discounts now. Nothing wrong with discounted new stuff anywhere. I don't get cold real easy so i can wear anything but, I like a good boot. FXR X-cross is what I like. Not too hot and good flex. Helmet's are on sale now too. Pick your poison there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was riding with @Anler I noticed that the helmet he had looked pretty sweet so that is one I had in mind. 6 minutes ago, Zambroski said: Congrats on getting back in the game!

I heard Oxygen helmets are amazing but expensive? Gear on Ebay. What size jacket and Bibs? I'll keep an eye out. Also, i'll send you some links on FB for different cat groups. Many times they post gear for sale. P.S.... I assume you want Pink bibs and jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will.........that helmet was there and I have never tried one like that so I was just checking it out. Might come in handy to be able to switch between visor and goggles depending on the trip. Mountains vs trails, warm or cold, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
