    Cold Weather Gear?

    Anyone with good sense would probably put their quad away for the Winter but me and my Homies are gonna keep on riding through the Winter. Last week I froze my NUTS OFF basically because I had the wrong clothing (Jeans & jacket) on, plus my feet got wet trying to lift this EX out of a mudhole with some Timberlands on.. Question: What gear is appropriate for extreme weather like what we're seeing here in MD? What gloves, boots, etc.?

    Good idea Jerry. 250 exen, Thanks for the info. I guess I had a brain fart thinking that guys put these things away for the Winter. I'm so used to the Streetbike where around November it's time to drain the tank!

    Check out the Snowmobile gear suppliers. Chapparral, Dennis Kirk and a few other places supply the sled guys with killer winter gear. They basically wear the same type of stuff ATVers ride except its geared for cold weather. One thing that would make a big difference is get a full face helmet and something to keep your neck warm. If you dont want to spend that kind of cash at least make sure the vents on your helmet are closed! hehe
