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. Think I have the same jacket. Super warm, still looks new, but you’re right everyone has/had one. Finally bought a new jacket this year but worried it won’t be as warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid of the opposite that they will be too warm. I just wear a shell and polarfleece liner but it works pretty much in all our temps.

Stupid me I had the taller windshield with and didnt change it. Buying clothing online is convenient but some things really don't like to buy without trying it on. Helmet and jacket are 2 of them.

Voodoo Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Brother bought a sidewinder. Bought a tall windshield but thought it looked gay. Ran the cool looking one. I ended up on it, at minus 30. Now I know why he wears like 3 sweaters and 3 jackets. He got the neck and face frostbite the year before, when his heated shield cord failed. No wind protection at all. Fucking cat. Next time, stop and fix your shit. We will stop. Edited October 24, 2023 by Voodoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wear a shell and polarfleece liner but it works pretty much in all our temps. Pretty much was in the same boat two summers ago. I started shopping in July/August, ordering a pair at a time from DK and sending them back as I kept trying on different styles. You can make a good guess reading but until you feel how they fit, you won’t know for sure. Never charged a penny for shipping, must have tried on 5-6 different styles over a few weeks. As for riding in below zero temps, I’ve done 10 day saddle bag trips where the temp got above zero for just a couple hours one day. I’d rather not if I had to choose, but when there’s snow… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag6240 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Shopping in the summer is the best. Once you find what you like, start calling some local (Or even non-local) dealers and see if they have what you want in stock and just want to get rid of it. Bought my Klim BOA Boots two summers ago as well, I think they were $370 or something like that on DK (Out of stock of course) and a local dealer had a pair in my size, shipped to my house for $275. Did the same thing as the bibs, tried on half a dozen pairs, all returned at no cost to DK. Edited October 25, 2023 by Mag6240 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very slim profit margins with Klim gear from a dealer standpoint. I would make far more off of any other gear when I had my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall something about you getting way less for a trade in than Jeff in Jackman because you rolled up in a Mercedes or some shit.

My memory can be off at times with everything that goes on here though Thats a great story, especially cuz its not true, given I've bought a half dozen sleds brand new from this dealer, and we've never ever traded the same sled,.....I do have a preference for the MBs though, and I make no apologies. They're superior auto machines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
