Valcourt, Canada (9/5/2007)
- Often, OEM clothing offerings are little
more than run-of-the-mill gear with corporate
logos. BRP takes a different approach with
its Ski-Doo® snowmobile gear, Sea-Doo®
boating gear, specifically designing its clothing
to enhance the experience of its vehicles.
And now it’s doing the
same with its 2008 line of Can-Am® riding
gear. The line, which includes technical riding
items, protective gear [including helmets]
and casual wear, will be available in Can-Am
dealerships in September 2007.
Like Can-Am ATVs, the 2008
Can-Am riding gear is aimed at enthusiasts
who insist on high performance and high tech.

Take the new over-the-boot X-Team
Cross Pants, specifically designed for performance
ATV riding. The mesh-lined, water-resistant
fabric is some of the most breathable in the
industry, keeping the rider dry inside and
out. A molded rubber kneecap and perforated
leather reinforcement are specifically positioned
on each leg matching the ergonomics of the
new DS™ 450 sport quad. Reflecting the
realities of ATV riding, the stretch crotch
panel is waterproof, unlike generic motocross
pants. The entire pant is incredibly light,
weighing less than two pounds [.9 kg].
There’s even innovation
in the new X-Team Hybrid gloves. Seams around
the fingers are inverted, giving them a seamless
feel, increasing handlebar feedback. The Can-Am
logo on each index finger even adds grip!

“Our consumers want our

design and input and feedback from ATV enthusiasts.”
