>>352618>really should've gotten all the right from the startThis is what I recommend to anyone considering snowmobiling/motorcycling as a hobby.
You set a budget, buy good gear first, then use what's left to buy the vehicle. Then you're not tempted to do something stupid like ride without it, and when you upgrade vehicles you've already got a good set of gear you're comfortable with.
Also worth noting... Don't pay retail for gear unless you're sure it's what you want. I went through half a dozen chest protectors before I found something I liked that was comfortable enough to wear all day.
I've got a few pairs of goggles I only keep as extras, don't like the way they fit me.
Went through about a dozen pairs of gloves in a year before I found a brand/style I liked, then the following year they discontinued the design. Found another similar brand/style, but weren't quite as nice.
Get something that works before you get the vehicle, but what you buy may not be what you ride with for very long.
