Snowmobile clothing

[TylerZR62]

Hey, just wondering what everyone wears for layers while snowmobiling. I'm looking for some new gear to keep me warm. Thanks

Go with an underlayer of poly("Under Armoure", etc..), and then a fleece pullover and a Gortex jacket and bibs. The key is to get clothing that will let the sweat out and breathe. Poly inner layer and fleece will do that and a Gortex jacket will allow all the moisture dissapate. No more wet clothing when you stop for a rest.

Thermax first layer. Second, non cotton turttleneck shirt. Third, windshear polar fleece top and pants, and Gore Tex outer layer. Soc

Avoid cotton at all costs. It does not evaporate moisture very well. Polar fleece, poly, thermax, coolmax are all good.

Bibs and my Choko hacket with a t-shirt under it. That Choko jacket is amazingly warm, but about $350.

How does the Under Armour work? Someone said that it is only good for sports where you are moving alot, but I ride on the aggressive side, so I tihnk it will still work well.

SRX7, sorry, but I don't think I'd be too comfortable in that.

I go with a t-shirt, a hoodie (hooded sweatshirt) and then my jacket.
Ive ridden in temps ranging as low as -5* and have never been cold.
To my knowledge, Underarmour sort of "compresses" your body and improves circulation.

LOL I mean warm up to.

 

[TylerZR62]

Thanks for the clarification. Now that you put it that way, I do think that would be a great thing to warm me up!

Most of the time I wear long underware for layer 1, jeans and a sweatshirt for layer 2, and I wear a choko xtreme touring coat, and extreme cordura pants. The choko's are so warm I don't even really need to layer up.

Under Armour wicks the sweat away from your skin so you stay dry, while cotton will trap the moisture. It really works great, I never ride without it.

I agree with the cotton thing, and never tried the thong one...but I guess ive tried about everything once...guess I should shop for one Brent

Good socks, jeans, long sleeve TY shirt.
Buy GOOD bibs, boots and Jacket. Do not go cheap there :read:

The key I think is staying dry. If you stay dry from head to toes it is easier to keep warm. When you sweat and that stays on you then you get cold, same goes for the feet and head. Stay dry= stay warm.

Sockeyerun is really close. Try this on! Storm Socks, Lycra bicycle/ dirtbike shorts( dont let the little woman see you in these, you'll end up being late!), Thermax long johns, fleece pullovers upper and lower, (can't stand turtle necks anymore) Klim outerwear, 1 extra pair gloves and yes, absolutely no cotton!! Wait I take that back, something cotton to wipe your goggles off after a dive!! Put in backpack where it belongs!!
