Snowmobile Gear
SNOWMOBILE GEAR
If you’re interested in snowmobiling, then it’s highly likely that you’re looking for some snowmobile gear to make your outings better and more comfortable. Whether you’re an experienced rider or just getting started, it’s helpful to know what the different pieces of gear are used for.
Using the best snowmobile gear will make your ride much more comfortable and enjoyable, especially if you’re heading out in cold weather where the wind chill factor can have an extra harsh effect on you. With our wide selection of snowmobile gear, you’ll be able to find gloves that are insulated to retain heat as well as vests that are designed to protect your torso from the coldest temperatures.
Snowmobile Boots
Boots are an important part of your snowmobile gear. You want to make sure that they are made with a breathable membrane so that they keep your feet warm while still allowing moisture out of them. Many also include steel toes, reinforced ankles, and side zippers.
While slicing through the wintery white powder, snowmobile boots keep your toes warm and dry. Specialized snowmobile boots, on the other hand, are extremely technological and differ from motorcycle boots in several ways. From beefier lacing to a more powerful gripping strategy around the base, snowmobile boots are built tough, designed to last, and made with quality materials. The more difficult the elements are, the harder your gear needs to work to keep you comfortable. So, when winter comes calling and you want to rip it up on the snowmobile, check out a sturdy pair of snowmobile boots.
An important thing to consider is how you will lace up your boots. Snowmobile boots come in three types: lace-up boots, zipper-type closure, and bindings where you just slip into it like a ski boot.
Snowmobile Helmets
If you want to buy a snowmobile helmet, it is necessary that you know how to choose a good one. Since snowmobiling is an extreme sport, it is important that your snowmobile gear lasts longer and offers you greater protection. Be sure not to rush your decision; take your time and ask questions when in doubt.
The helmet is one of your snowmobile gear most important pieces of equipment. It doesn’t matter how fast you are or how much it can take a hit, if you have to get knocked out because you didn’t protect your head things will go south pretty quickly.
There are lots of different snowmobile helmets out there, some basic and some tricked out with crazy new technologies that protect against every conceivable type of impact. Many helmets now have built-in visors which can protect your eyes from the sunlight as well as wind and rain. Find an acceptable helmet and make sure everything fits securely so it doesn’t slide off in case of an accident.
Snowmobile Goggles
If you don’t want to get snow in your eyes, the first step in any safety equipment kit is a good pair of goggles. As with most sports, it's important to have a helmet and eye protection if you plan on being on your snowmobile for extended periods of time. The right pair of snowmobile goggles will not only protect your eyes from flying objects and weather, but also keep them protected while riding down a trail at extreme speeds.
Fogging is an important factor that your snowmobile goggles must overcome. A dual-pane lens is used in snow goggles to reduce fogging. They function in the same way as a dual-pane window. The condensation from your breath and perspiration causes a single lens to fog up almost instantly. It's also important to have good ventilation to keep dry air moving across the lens and remove any moisture. Snowmobile goggles with heated lenses are the best anti-fog protection.
Snowmobile suits
Because you'll spend so much time in them, finding a suit that fits well and keeps you comfortable is key to having a good experience out on the trail. Snowsuits for men and women come in a variety of styles, but there are essentially two types: casual suits designed for warmth and mobility; and more rugged ones with more armor-like protection from abrasion and impact.
In general, casual suits provide a better range of motion than their more rugged counterparts. The choice will depend partly on how seriously you take your riding.
Snowmobile jackets
There are a number of things to consider when shopping for a jacket. First, you’ll want to make sure it’s waterproof and windproof, so you can stay dry and warm when riding. To protect against freezing temperatures, snowmobile jackets are typically made from waterproof materials. Jackets are also insulated to keep riders warm.
When choosing a jacket, it's important to make sure you have enough room for your body to breathe. You don't want to wear a tight snowmobile jacket because doing so can restrict blood flow and lead to frostbite.
Another essential feature is a high-quality hood that fits comfortably without impairing your vision. You should also look for comfortable fit zippers and easy access drawcords on the wrists or waist if necessary.
Finally, don’t forget about durability—the last thing you want is cheap gear breaking down on you during your ride.
Snowmobile gloves
Gloves are an important part of your snowmobile gear, and you need a pair that fits snugly to keep your hands warm. The right pair of gloves will keep your hands warm and dry, allowing you to enjoy your time in snowy conditions without worrying about frostbite. If you’re riding during cold conditions, be sure to have a pair of water-resistant or waterproof gloves for extra protection.
Gloves should feel tight but not uncomfortable, especially if you’re going to be riding in cold weather. A glove that is too big will get in your way and make it hard for you to hold onto controls or change gears easily. It can also cause chafing on your hands from being too large as well as chilly fingers due to more wind getting inside your gloves. And since snowmobiles don’t have seatbelts like cars do, wearing gloves can help prevent frostbite if you fall off—so it’s important they fit correctly.
Snowmobile bibs
After getting suited up, you’ll want to get your bibs on. Bibs are basically waterproof overalls that zip up to your neck, but instead of regular buttons and zippers, they have snaps. You need a decent pair of snowmobile bibs in order to avoid undue chafing while riding. Bibs have straps over your shoulders and at your waist, and they zip up on either side so you can take them off quickly after a ride (this is key, because changing into regular clothes is often easier).
Look for extra padding around your hips to protect against chafing, too and check out what color options are available—since you'll likely wear these bibs under snowmobile pants, it's nice to have some variety. Make sure you get adjustable leg zippers that make it easy to put them on and take them off without having to completely remove your boots.
