My Klim jackets from 07 or 08, not as waterproof as it once was but it's comfortable. I prefer it over my motorfist. I am liking this whole rental thing I am doing this season, 250/day and do nothing but show up and ride it. if my son decides to come Sunday i think i am going to rent a SBA146 matryx along with the VR1 matryx just to try them both out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan was to actually ride this year, i was looking in November for a sled and never pulled the trigger because of them extending the border closing. glad I didn't given the snow. Buddy is getting out for the first time Sunday, picked up his in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I added the studs my top speed barely gets over 100mph but I am fine with that because I dont ride like that anyway. I think those giant tunnel protectors rob some top end. Also we have a 1.5" so lots of drag there too. Dan said he saw 119 on the speedo on the shorty matryx with the ice ripper track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't looking to good here either...but we got a nice storm 2 weeks ago and a couple other snowfalls...we are good for the year now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Facebook memory from 9 yes popped up the other day and I was wearing the motofist jacket I still wear lol. It’s been a great coat. It still looks good. I had to replace the main zipper a few years ago but other than that it’s been excellent. Time for a new one though. Does Klimt offer anything other than straight black?

Just don’t have any time right now with a 3 and 1 year old. I think my boy will enjoy it enough to get him into it. He loves buzzing around on my dads old exciter but man I can’t keep my eyes off the new Polaris sleds with this snow we got. I just can’t justify the coin right now without having enough time to enjoy it. You got your new one out yet??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Shifty Posted January 28, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 28, 2021 Groomer just went by the house.

I don’t think your too far from me really. I haven’t been able to say this in probably almost 8 years but our trails are actually worth traveling for right now lol. Lots of good bars and food too. Glad you like the new unit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klim Sawtelles FTW but they stopped making them, inversions are my 15-20+ degree day choice then Togwotees. I have 3 pairs of inversions, they get soaked but I love no insulation and palm feel of them. Same here minus the togwotees. Sawtells are as thick as I can wear. Cant stand thick gloves.

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I’ve had my Klim coat and pants for 5-6 years. Mid and base layers, the same. Had my boots for 13 and I would finally retire them to snow blowing use but I can’t get the replacements I want because, covid. I am a glove and goggle whore though. I’m always trying new of them.

Anler Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 We got some in over the weekend. Northern UP was great, other parts not so much. This is the trail coming out of big bay and conditions were pretty damn good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I bought the FXR heated Recon gloves a year or 2 ago and like them a lot. I ordered a 2nd set of batteries so I can just swap them at the lunch stop and not have to worry about them running out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
