Im looking for a new jacket and pants this year and was wondering what you guys are using. Id like something with a removable liner so that i can stay comfortable in a wide range of temps. Let me know what you are using or what you recommend.
 

I was thinking about fxr-yamaha...just need something affordable thats still high quality.

Does anybody know anything about the sizing on Klim pants?
 
I also use fxr yamaha. i got sweet deals on my gear from ebay.....just took a while to find it....it is very warm and comfortable and the jackey has a removable liner
 
go to rich and get last years jacket he can save you some money. I have the fxr yamaha jacket and love it.
 
Novi snow show....

I have been a loyal snow show buyer for my gear...

i bough 2 FXR outfits with removable liners and cpl shirts and a hat for less than one outfit at the dealer...

i bought from Port Washington and another guy at the show in Novi, MI, it is the first weekend in November, 5/6/7
 
I wish i could make it to a snow show to buy some gear, but there are none close enough to me. Ill have to start calling/looking around soon if i want to find some good gear from last year.

If anybody knows where to find some good deals, please, let me know.
 
Ive got a Yamaha "Flame" jacket. Its also made by FXR.
I bought it last fall and wore it all last winter and I was very pleased with it. Its a very light weight and very thin jacket but I was never cold last winter.
Keep in mind as well, I was riding a '90 Phazer II, which doesnt have anywhere near the wind protection that some of the newer sleds have.
Ive actually been very pleased with all of the Yamaha clothing I have purchased. Even other family members who are die-hard Polaris riders have commented how nice and affordable Yamaha's clothing is.
Here's the clothing I usually wear while snowmobiling:
Yamaha Flame Jacket, $180 (made by FXR)
Yamaha Value Bibs, $90
Yamaha Team Gauntlet Glove, $50 (made by FXR)
Yamaha Team Cross Glove, $35 (lightweight MX style glove for warmer days)
Yamaha fleece baclavia, $10
Z1R Rail helmet, $130
Scott HighVoltage Snocross goggles, $50
I dont wear special snowmobile boots because its almost impossible to find boots that dont look like snowboarder boots. I just wear plain ole packboots that I buy from any outdoor store.
The jacket that I have does not have a liner in it, but it does have vents in the side you can open if you are a bit warm. Ive never had a problem with being cold with this jacket. I even once forgot to zip it back up after stopping at a local eats 'n drinks establishment for lunch and didnt even notice. The only way I did notice was that I felt something flapping aganst my chest. Believe me, trying to zip up a jacket while doing 50 mph on an old Phazer while trying to not fall off is quite a feat in balance. Sure, I could have stopped but Im not certain that the Phazer had enough speed to catch back up with the group I ride with. They all do in excess of 80 mph most the time, but I could usually catch up when we hit the corners.

I just picked up a pair of 04 FXR bibs from Port for $149 at the big east show. They had several in blue there with them but black was limited. Probably not all their inventory either but maybe?
 
I also wear FXR coat and bibs, they keep you warm and they are light weight. best of all my columbia fleece liner zips right into my FXR coat.
 
I just picked up castle x jacket and pants. Got a pretty good preseason deal on it....hopefully this gear works out as i havent heard many peoples opinion about it.
 
I too am looking for a new jacket for this season. I found a great deal on a couple of Reima jackets, but for some reason they don't seem to fit too well. One size is too small while the next size is too large. I have tried several different styles and they all seem to fit the same way (they don't leave much room for movement making them uncomfortable). Has anyone else experienced this with Reima products?

How do the FXR jackets fit? Are they comfortable jackets? I may have to give Port Yamaha a call and try the FXR 3/4 jacket.
