winter riding kit on the cheap
Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2008 8:31 pm
As always I have pulled out and checked out my winter riding gear to be sure
I am ready to continue the season here in New England, Grrr, I'm a tough
guy! Ummmm,, I'll just keep telling myself that at least!
Part of this bizarre annual ritual involves keeping my eyes open in the fall
for deals in case I need to replace something. To that end I herein publish
my years finds for winter riding kit on the cheap.
You can get away with most any full face helmet by keeping the face shield
open a notch. If, however, you fear frost bitten eye lids you could order
one of these snowmobile helmet with a dual wall shield and breath guard for
$69.97 or even a modular flip up with the same accoutrements for $79.97

This riding suit is my top pick. The suit is $119.97 and the gloves are
$24.97. The descriptions for both cover all the important points for a
toasty winter commute.

This 1 pc snow suit probably isn't your best bet at highway speeds but at
$49.97 it might be worth a try if your on a really tight budget.

If you go with the $49 suit then you will need some gloves $21.97 also.
These look to be pretty usable.

Sportsman's guide also has several snowmobile boots to offer but I don't
know which ones are good deals yet so you will need to look for yourself.
