Any of you moon dicks have suggestions for a decent balaclava to wear with an MX style helmet and goggles?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Anything Klim. I’ve got one of theirs I’ve used for 4-5 seasons now and my go to every time we ride. I’m trying to find it but it looks like they don’t make it anymore.

It’s weird, I’ve had almost no issues ever with fogging any goggles. Whereas Dan and Panda can’t help but fog with more directed muzzles on their balaclava.

I really only use my heated shield during snow/freezing rain and sometimes at night.

Except the trails around here only seem to open 1-2 weekends per year. LOL

 

[Yaj Yak]

PANDA you got like 2200 miles already this season or what?

fuck man, impressive as fuck how many riding days you've gotten in so far.

 

[PANDA]

Gotta make the effort. I am lucky the trails opened before Christmas this season so I got in a few trips before New Years already.

Best Snowmobile Trail Map.

I can finally see the exact route the trails take. Now I can research gas stations along the way, how long they're open, etc.. Gas availability was a big limiting factor on my last trip, especially for night runs.

Too cheap to pay for a trailer, this man strapped a snowmobile to the top of his Chevy Malibu and drove through Wisconsin

Tommy Mecher doesn't own a snowmobile trailer and even if he did, he would have still loaded his snowmobile on top of his car to travel up north.

Snow depth is coming up to 50 inches in some spots. With more on the way and cold temps. Gotta get out there! Maybe first weekend of February...

 

[PANDA]

If you are trail riding snow depth does not always equal better trails.

I'm looking at buying an old cheap sled to use to zip around when ice fishing. Looking to only spend ~$1,500 or so.

Seen a lot of those 2000ish Polaris Edge XC Sp 600's for sale in the range. Anything I should look for??

True.
But at least there is lots of snow coverage. Gives groomers something to work with. Less puddles and dips.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Literally any fanner motor from any manufacturer in the 1996-2000 era will suit you fine.

Just for ice fishing. Is there newer sleds with smaller engines in that price range?

 

[Yaj Yak]

dude honestly, just for brappin shit onto lauderdale, some whatever with reverse and electric start would be fine. just make sure whatever you get has those two things.
