Me too! I hit a drop I couldn't see (super flat conditions) and drove my knee into the hood, actually bending my clutch cover, and putting my brake reservoir up underneath my helmet and through my bottom lip. Maybe we should start a Body Armour Thread and stop jacking this Avy pack one.

Ding ding. completely agree. It's quick and easy to say. I just call it 'armour'.

Sort of, that's why I'm confused. Some people could just be using that term to talk about any sort of upper body protection, which is why I was trying to differentiate.

That was 2011, before the XM.....

Klim takes TekRiders Vest and stamps their own brand on it. 509 does the same thing.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by Tech Vest, and I'm not sure what others are meaning either. There is a brand called TekVest (well TekRider) and they sell a vest that provides full torso protection. I see this for protection from impact into your own machine mostly. It is heavier...

A very blurry upside down pic.

Can't wait to run mine this season now.

Cause that makes a lot of sense with the guy's comments that he sees more Doos on the hill...

I prefer my vest over my pack. Carries the weight much more comfortably. The Snowpulse vest has pockets that you can slide armour plates in, for protection. I wear a MotoX jacket under my gear, not a full TekVest. I find them too bulky. I know I'm gambling with my sides being exposed but I'm...

The Doos are just more visible, hanging out by the cabin. :smiliestirthepot:

It's called a starting offer. You never go in with the maximum number you are willing to pay. If the guy is interested in selling it, but thinks the offer is too low, I'm sure Work2Ride would welcome a counter-offer from him. Or the seller can just ignore the offer all together.

^^^ Agree with this. If I ever have to pull my avy bag, and don't think I'm going to care that I can't fire it off again the same day. I will probably be shaken up enough that I was caught/almost caught in an avalanche that my day probably won't continue anyway.

You can pull the canister out if you just want to get the feel of what sort of force you need to pull it at. There is a very audible click that lets you know when it would fire. However; if you just want to see what the bag is like inflated there is an O-ring. I bought my vest at Bowcycle, so I...

Try looking at the Kicking Horse Website.

Silent is one of my favourite areas to go. The long drive and the long trail in tend to deter some guys, but it's worth it.

Son of a b!tch, I share a birthday with the Freak.... :)

^^^ Sounds like you got the wrong kit. Polaris specific kit goes on super quick and easy.

^^ THIS!! Anyone who has wet feet in Klim boots have either stepped in a deep creek (I did end up standing in a shallow creek last year, and I didn't get wet) or are sweating like crazy, and probably wearing cotton socks. My feet sweat like crazy, and my feet are never cold or wet feeling at the...
