I bought a set of Klim summer gear and it seems to be great stuff, goin on 3 years and the pants are holding up awesome. had more than a few get-offs, I'm impressed. I've had Fox pants tear out riding single track just from branches.

they are tough, I think mine are called Baja or something. lots of zippered vents, over the boot style. the material weave is super strong, they look kind of like kevlar but breathable. I'll see if I can find a pic

They are pry smarter than everybody is giving them credit for. Regardless of bad drive shafts or not and yes i do agree klim is very high priced. Havent had a chance to use my motorfist gear or klim so cant say good or bad about either. But i can say klim is significantly higher priced.

But i believe Polaris' line of products uses the e-vent (same as motorfist) So actually acquiring the competition of gore tex is a good way to corner the market.

I have to ask the doo guys what ski doo gear is using in their products? I seriously dont know.

How does sympatex compare to motorfist gear?

They claim it is as good as Goretex. E-vent does the same thing. Funny how Goretex never says they are as good as Sympatex or E-vent.:shrug:
