509 has a ton of factory riders now wearing their gear… but is it good? Or just free? I need new gear next year… new two piece something. I’ll be in Revy March 8 if you’re around!
I’m with ya Ron. My electrics were fogging up in parking lot on way to pay booth. Work good when on but shouldn’t need them on in the parking lotI call 509 goggles Fog O Nines, lol
I have 509 bibs and jacket. I have really liked them. Don't get out as much as most guys anymore. But I haven't be disappointed after wearing Klim gear for 20 years prior. I still do wear Klim gloves most of the time though. And went to a CKX Titan helmet.I have 509 goggles and helmet, never tried the outerwear though.
The pants are fuct already, so i have nothing to lose.
Not sure how long im staying. Tell i had enough, we'll see.
TOBE gear has worked well for me, couldn't believe i spent over $1000 on a onesie. But after i did i was glad i did, kept me dry for 3 years. But after that it started to get damp on the rain days. Then i upgraded to the new V2 suit of the one i already had. It has been great as well. Rode a little harder last season and in the trees lots. No tears, holes, only parts that are starting to get damp is the upper thighs from me being lazy and always resting my arms/hands on them because im so out of shape, plus it got dirty from oil/grease breaking stuff and touching there. But it's still dry underneath.
The Gear re-Store in Calgary used to be the klim repair center. I sent a pair of off warranty klim bibs to them. They do good work for a decent price.
Klim voided the warranty on my bibs when I sewed the strap back on during one of my revy trips, I wasn’t impressed.

You're not wrong i am easy to please. i could still wear that monosuit. I just wanted to have a spare one so i upgraded. There's nothing wrong with either of them. For those days that your suit doesn't dry out. The inside of the suits stay dry, the outsides get damp where the water doesn't bead off anymore.You sound easy to please. If I only got 3 years out of my $1000+ klim mono suit I’d be choked. Have had mine since 2019 and no dampness, tears, leaks or anything. Broke one of the buttons off the leg snap at the bottom of the right leg snowboarding in Jasper last week, it was frozen together and I got rammy trying to undo the button. First issue since I got it and that is extremely minor.

My klim pants are brand new and mint, but my tobe pants are ripped.
They were only a day old though
I had to send my tobe pants out as well. I think they use the gear restore as well but I can’t remember at the moment.
I sent a suit to klim in for warranty and the the shipping to the states was like a two week ordeal.
I like my tobe bibs, they fit perfectly over my mobius knee brace.
