Thinking of getting a mono suit. Any big guys wear them. I wear a 3xl klim coat and 3xl tall bibs. Anyone thoughts? Hard to find them available so probably order online.

I bought both mine at the sled shows but that's not an option anymore, I bought my wife's tobe monosuit last year through royaldistributing.com got it for $599 and the exact same suit was $1100 in stores, the sizes are limited on royal's website but check it out.If you order online… what’s the best sites you’ve found?

I would not recommend the FXR suit the zips up in the middle of your accustom to Klim, or TOBE. Unless you don’t mine bring wet and cold.maybe get a set that zips at the waist? I'm going to try an FXR setup a buddy bought too small for himself. I put a day in it last year and liked the bibs/Jacket setup for getting ready but loved that it zipped together too.

The biggest reason I prefer my monosuit over the jacket / bibs setup is moisture evacuation on the front and back. The bibs create a double layer and I always end up with a buildup of sweat in those 2 areas. Get even worse with an avy vest. As soon as you sit for any amount of time, then I'd get cold. Non-issue with the onesie. Temp stays way more consistent.I went to a mono suit last year. 3xl klim. I will be going back to bibs and coat. I hate when I get to the cabin at the end of the day and have the stupid top hanging off me. Was nice to be able to hang the coat up. It’s no warmer either than bibs and a coat. I haven’t figured out the benefits of the moon suit yet.
That and if I have a really bad wipeout at speed I'm not cleaning snow out of the inside of my jacket and bibs!The biggest reason I prefer my monosuit over the jacket / bibs setup is moisture evacuation on the front and back.

I will agree that it sucks when you want to take the upper part off. I just open vents in that scenario.
There is a Klim/509 sale Group on FB that I found a couple of months ago, that's where I got my Klim Storm bibs right before Christmas. I see a lot of those mono suits for sale on there too.If you order online… what’s the best sites you’ve found?

I find with mono suits your best to go to a dealer and try them on as they all fit differently, and support your local dealer they have good deals on right now.
