Snowmobile Gifts Over $100 (If they’ve been extra good this year)

maverick-monosuit-w-fuchsia-blue-hivis-16200-940FXR Monosuit – $650.00

Best investment ever. This one-piece suit that comes in different colors and styles for men and women is the warmest thing that has ever been on my body. Don’t be alarmed by the price, a set of FXR Snow pants and a jacket almost equals the monosuit price.

DSC_0752LED Light/ Light bar – $Price will vary depending on size and brand 

May sound a bit odd having a light bar on a snowmobile but if anyone reading this went to the Toronto Snowmobile show this year, there was a few sleds with front bumper mounted single row light bars. I have an accessory LED light on my Skidoo and it makes a HUGE difference when riding at night, so much more visibility.

Local Dealership,

SledWrap – $400.00 – $500.00

Customization is huge now days, and there’s nothing better than standing out from the crowd…especially with your machine.
