Greg du Vermont Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Interested in continuing user input on features that make up the ideal snowmobile gear. This edition..........bibs. Your opinions on the following would be appreciated and may well find there way into the next generation of snowmobile gear. Vortex is definetly listening, let's take advantage of our opportunity to have input. Bib or pant design? length of side leg zipper? Ventilation features? Ideal strom flap design, snap, velcro, wind proof zipper without storm flap? Pocket locations? Separate liner or a fixed amount of insulation? You XXL guys, is it the gut size or the leg length that you seek. Would an XXL short model have it's place in the market? Your input on past topics has been valuable, please share your thoughts again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmaster2112 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have had two pairs of Reima Holeshot bibs and absolutely LOVE them. I'm on my second pair now and they should be retired by the end of this season. The nice thing is that you can get them in XL short size. I think they used to make an XXL short but dont know if they still do. Durable, warm, nice zippers and they fit me like a glove. As with anything though....I question the qulaity of the exact same item that I purchased 5 years ago. Will it be the same??? Many times companies keep the same name of an item and find a way to cheepen the shit out of it and what we get as consumers is an inferior product. FYI ...the XL short in Reima fits a 5' 10" 250 lb fat ass with short legs and a "beer belly" like it was customed tailored by an old Italian guy.

Greg du Vermont Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Please keep your comments coming. Opinions do not need to only address my starter topics. The other feature that I wanted QR's comment on is knee/shin padding. I think that being waterproof and breathable are a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
