anyone recommend rain (mud) gear that will hold up to quadding in rain and mud. seems like the cheap ones last 15 minutes or so. looking at the carharts (pricey) but look like they will hold up or like 99summitx's garbage bags and duct tape.:p:d:beer:

I have the water proof carharts bibs, there the way to go for sure. Keep me 100% dry and just rinse off and there clean again!:d

I wear the green Viking bib and jacket. Very waterproof and very durable. I can't seem to find a way to wreck it. Here is a quick vid from Outwest Campground area this past Friday night. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH-32P3e030[/media]

You know this might be unrelated to this thread but I changed out my outlander suspension to the renegade front suspension and no longer get that front grab feeling on those downhill off camber "SQUATS" with my outlander. Just a thought.

The springs must be heavier?

I work the patch and have put on over 30,000 km of quading. for the past 4 years I have been using Helly Hanson rain gear. tough as nails. I'm not sure what I paid for it but now it has more than paid for itself.

I wear Thor riding pants and use an Oilers jersey to wipe all the mud off when I'm done. When I'm done with the jersey, I kick it around on the garage floor till the next week then use it as a rag again. Never need a pressure wash when you have the right TOOL to clean up the mud. :d

Yes the springs are way heavier. My quad sits right up at the top now all the way a round.
Sweet! Ill have to look into that, cuz my front end sags pretty low. The back end is perfect. Thanks.

The front springs on my Outty were done at 1000km. I went to turple's and bought the "Heavy Duty" springs, which I think are just Max rear springs. Either way, it was cheap, and they work perfectly.

Yeah, my springs didn't last long either. I don't like the sag when I need the ground clearance, but the quad rides really smooth at high speeds. How is the ride on the upgraded springs?

Pretty good. I didn't really notice alot of difference. It does make a big difference in clearance though.
