Is your TOBE gear holding up?

[toyman2k]

Narrowed my search down to TOBE PRIVUS jacket and want to know how they are holding up?

Thinking the insulated version and I ride backcountry and trails to get there

Is this a serious question? U will get better gear from Kmart for a fraction of the cost. Lol

I've had my gear for 5 years now. Washed many times, wear it for all my winter activities. still works great. I would not hesitate to buy it again. I have the Privus non insulated, usually only wear a base layer under it in all conditions

I definitely don't have any long term use yet... only 4 rides, but my privus monosuit still looks and functions like new.. which is more than I can say about any FXR product I have owned.

I know lots that have them and like the TOBE gear. Its just as much as the KLIM overpriced stuff. Im still debated on the insulated

versus the Non-insulated.

I have 2 riding buddies with different TOBE one pieces and the ONLY complaint is they could be warmer.

I have been running the Tobe boots and gloves for two years now and they have been awesome, I wouldn't hesitate to buy their gear if you find something you like.

The thing about non insulated vs insulated is you can add an extra layer or two to make the non insulated perform like the insulated. But on a warm day you can't take the insulation out of an insulated jacket. The non insulated gives you a wider range of conditions.

All that being said, i bought a Tobe Doggax jacket at the beginning of last year and its been ok. I'll likely try something else for next year. Not that i hate it or anything, ive just had better jackets in the past.

Been using the insulated cheap azz Free country/insulated from Sams club for the past 5 years and its not the best at being waterproof and has no vents at $39.99...

Had poor luck with mine, failed very fast and had very sh**ty customer experience trying to get it warrantied. They were very unprofessional trying to get this handled. Needless to say I have a tobe onesie with a failed seam that led into a rip that is taking up space. I would not spend a dollar with these guys. Maybe they have changed and upped their quality now as that was two seasons ago.

Same here, love the fxr suit and was half the price of my klim gear.

are most of you using the Non-insulated ? I think if I just have vents I will be able to control the sweating on the hots days of riding. As they don't have a lot of insulation in the insulated versions.
I have a dealer close that sells FXR gear, maybe I should give it a look?

I have a tobe 2.0 onsie and this is my 4th season on it, ha kept me dry and warm (layers) in everything from frosty flatlanding in -22 to +5 pouring rain don't think I will ever go back to jacket/bib combo. you can get Nikwax tx direct spray, the re waterproofing agent tobe recommends from sport chek.

 

[toyman2k]

I wish I could fit into a onsie. 5'6 and 200lbs and I either float away in the Large and the Medium is too small.
Thanks for all the reports!!
