I really like the adrenaline boots but they get torn up very fast on running boards. that is why I stoped buying the klim boots they just got trashed especaly when we were running the tube boards with the super sharp screws for motorcycle ice racing . well that and they quit backing warrenty on them . the shifting toe on the stomped even stays nice on the bikes and the soul is pretty stiff so they are good when standing on the bikes Edited January 16, 2020 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually thought about getting a windbreaker jacket to wear underneath my coat to help block the wind but I'm afraid it will make me too hot? Like I mentioned earlier, I've tried a bunch of things and have it now where it is a lot less cold than what it use to be but on some fairly cold days, I still feel it in my chest. It's frustrating as my everyday coat that my wife paid $60 dollars for at Sears some years ago provides better wind protection than what my much more expensive FXR jacket does.

Sold my Klim pants/bibs and looking for something lightly insulated. Went all FXR this year after Scotty Sidewinder did last year. He was very pleased so I went for it. Got a jacket, bibs boots for around $450ish if I remember. Bought last years stuff online and saved a shit ton.

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. Love the assheater on my sled. On 1/15/2020 at 10:37 AM, Beavis and Butt-Head said: was surprised to see pricing on FXR line up is almost as much as Klim costs including FXR helmets.
