DriftBusta Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Just now, f7ben said: I’ve never seen lower than -38f while riding but the weather said it hit -40 that night. Those temps are no joke We had no choice, we were in the middle of a ride, so it was duct tape on the cheeks, gauntlets, extra layers, etc.. That was 04 pre Klim days in that heavy ass but warm and dry Reima gear. I don't think the best Klim gear is as warm as that stuff was. 1 minute ago, f7ben said: I’ve never seen lower than -38f while riding but the weather said it hit -40 that night.

Said if the sled don't start we ain't working to get them going. Fucking thing fired right up. These days, -10f or lower on the camp thermometer, I'm usually scratching my nuts and wondering whats on Netflix, unless there's somewhere we absolutely gotta get to.

Seems to me like it'd just make the seat all wet and sticky. I like the seat slick so it's easier to move around in the twisties. No doubt you like to slide your ass on stuff!

Seems like more and more use their dealers and are just add good oil and good gas kinda riders. Some have admittedly had troubles with the good gas part with dire consequences. Heck I've read of a guy installing a Polaris "fix kit" on a perfectly good running motor and paying the dealer to do it. BIZARRE!!!!! It blew up then. Just not the same kinda crowd as the old days. Now helmets are the new oil topic!!!!!! Or how warm my paper thin Klim suit is!!! But...but.... What oil should use in my 1976 Ski-Doo?????

I have a Scott coat with the Reima brand name on it and it's still the best coat I wear when it's gonna be cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have some of that old gear and my old Sorel boots from the same timeframe. Sold my SkiDoo leathers though @DriftBusta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at Hay Days, it used to be you could get year old stuff at a discounted price, but not anymore. Thankfully I can get discounted stuff through my niece's husband - my Klim BOA's were one of the most recent purchases (2 years) ago and those things are awesome!! I may look into a new jacket since my current one is 9 years old and it's still one of those jackets that too many people seem to have (Klimate Jacket). Twice, I've had to catch guys walking out or in the parking lot, wearing my coat instead of theirs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate having the same thing as someone else let alone multiple people. Part of the reason why I only update when I have to, short of gloves or Helmet Edited October 24, 2023 by Skidooski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
