I made the switch last year and definitely won’t go back. I went with a CKX since that’s what my local guy carries and like to support businesses here in town. I tried on an FXR insulated but found it too bulky, the CKX is a mid weight insulation and have no temp issues riding +10 to -20 depending on base layers. As others mentioned the fit is definitely critical.
Who’s your “local guy”..?

That would be Alan at RPM(formerly Top Gunn). Great prices and selection of top name brands...Klim, 509, CKX, etc. Tons of parts and what he doesn’t have can usually get in overnight.

I’ve been running that same motorfist onesie for two seasons now and love it! Wicked temp control and it’s been really durable. Havnt had the best luck with fxr onesies in the past but either way I won’t be going back to a two piece setup. ����

The more things change, the more they stay the same...........

Back in the early days, snowmobile "suits" were the big deal. I was so happy to get rid of them and get into bibs and jackets. I don't think I will go back as I am warm and dry in my Klim gear.

Ha anyone ever found one that fits a tall guy? I’m a ch under 6’4” and all of them seem to be too short. End up with a mammal toe as soon as I lift my arms.

That’s a thing. I’m 5’9 and ended up with a tobe medium rather than small for same reason.

Have to play the devils advocate here but someone has to ask? How much clearance is there if you have to shat out some Zala's pizza mixed with a couple pink drinks on the hill?

that’s the best part about the onsie like. Less zippers to deal with, to get the deed done. I like to hang off the bars with my feet on the running boards. Just like pick up style with out the heat blowing at you haha. Then just throw them between your legs like coveralls. You guys sold on this yet?

Still not sold yet
Had a onsie 3 years ago, went back to a twosie
Liked the fact that i could regulate body heat a lot better with a twosie, when I get warm I can open the zipper for the bibs and it lets heat out, When a buddy is really stuck in trees ( something that I never do! lol ) I can remove the jacket
I also found the onsie restrictive and if i went up another size to baggy ( could be just my build )
On both I was always warm and dry ( sometimes too warm )
Not a hater of the onsie, Just wasn't for me.
