I dont know why everyone (a lot of people ) complain about the price of Klim gear?I was at the ski cellar in Calgary and they have a few lines of gear using Gortex. Arcteryx being one of them.They are a lot more expensive!!!I saw some gloves for 200

If you're gonna talk top sales, you gotta talk mountain sleds, western Canada and USA , can't say many care about overall sales in the sled sector. Especially Doo and Cat, their eastern Canada market in crossover and trail sleds are huge. Might be pretty surprising for everyone if the M8, Pro, Summit sales comparison could be verified the last couple years.
Regardless of the winner, we all have our favorites, some based on preference, some based on decals.

many people care about being the top seller in the industry, including your beloved polaris fanboys. you would sure be crowing if it was the case.

'doo was number one in sled sales for 2012.

4 of evey ten mountain sleds sold in 2012 were polaris.

mountain snowmobiles make up 30% of sales in the market.

so far polaris is number one in 2013....for failures.

hahaha, all good. thinking klim may have sold to highest didder after this years sled show, very little product promotion by klim this year, may have seen the splash from motofist, and decided they were going to lose, so selling to polaris was the best option. hehe.

get on yer favourite sled and ride, life is to short otherwise.

makes no never mind to me who's winning the mountain segment race, i'm gonna continue to buy and ride what i want and change brands when i decide, and it sure as hell wont be based on any silly thoughts of loyalty or bein on the team, i got out of my teen years many years ago. But hey teeroy you are quite subtle with your Doo jammies and probably only wear them when youre by yourself, but its obvious, despite your attempts to disquise it, but you are another of the doo glee club, buying based on decal. Good if it works for ya, and from your constant whining about how you were so badly mistreated in 08, it hasnt always worked out for ya. hope its better now. Me , i switch brands constantly and now own 2 , different decals, both have their issues.
And speaking of crowing, you and your little net band of doo can do nothing wrong fan club, well i think you are definetly winning one race, "the useless defensive point out every flaw in all competitors and beat it to death cause doo's best" post race.
Have fun riding whatever. Besides you guys got so busted this year, your Doo brand blind loyalty became super obvious to everyone. Cats outa the bag for you guys. LOL.

Regardless of who puts money into Klim, they need to do a reality check on their pricing. Went into Martin today to get a new set of goggles, checked out the Klim gloves as I'd like to get a second pair of full tilt pow gloves as well... $280?!?! Are you f*cking kidding me?? I'm sorry but there isn't even half that much into materials and labour there. I know theres dealer mark up but come on, almost $300 for a pair of gloves that are made in China? No thanks. Hellooo motorfist, scott and dakine.

you should be a novelist. too bad no one wants to read what you write. but get it out Lenny, get it all out....lol

Heres some more words for ya.

You sure have a lot of lip to contribute, till u stumble with the glib answers, or your little Doo feelers get bent a bit,, But hey , you pretended to love the Doo for what it was not the decal, damn Doo has to make major changes to make it handle and carve like a Poo, or tippy like a Cat, $hit, now you gotta shift gears and love it cause it handles better now that it's easy to lean and more tippy. LMAO
Poo guys are sweatin cause of driveshafts right now, but what an awesome sled the Pro is, I love the new XM, best sled in my opinion Doo has put out since 06 durability and teeter totter thingy,I guess we'll see soon,..........Cat...not for me yet.
Hope you enjoy your year, and your sled.
