Can't decide. Are these cool or kinda dorky? Back in the day guys used to wear the mono suits so I like the retro angle. Anybody tried one?

1 vote for dorky. Different strokes for different folks
Maybe dorky, but they work, and we sell a ton of them! Like above, for some people and not for others!
I vote dorky too. Like how they preform had to ride my budys sled out and slide back down the mountain to get my sled no snow up the back. I put my teck vest on over my suite not as dorky but works great.
dorky...no way around it. Retro angle doesn't work no matter how hard you try. They may pay famous sledders to wear it and promote it, still dorky and if you buy one because Justin Beiber said it was cool, your a dork, because they are still dorky.
They may be dorky but I'm still interested in buying one for the extremely cold days of riding that we do in northern Alberta.
I'd rather look dorky and be warm then be styling and frozen !!

I didn't hear a word you said...I was transfixed on your avatar:jaw:
amen!
and if you go rolling down the hill, one less opening for snow to come into. thats pretty cool. if i hadnt just bought a bunch of new gear the FXR one looks pretty slick.

Mono suit
Just spent the afternoon snowboarding in -20C weather and the mono suit is great. What I like about it is the fact that there are no tight spots around your waste which makes it very comfy. Clearly one piece eliminates the draft and the two zones that pants and jackets have so heat, moisture, and fart move around nicely. Came from klim which was great but this stuff is awesome.
Forgot about the so called coolness factor and who cares as I like being warm and comfortable.

Do they look goofy?
Sure.
But that never seemed to stop any of us from buying Arctic Cat suits.
Really, consider the colors used in the past & today on Cat Jackets & Bibs.
I had a suit in the 90's that had that dumb azz green, purple & even pink on it.
In hindsight, that had to look like a homo on the prowl for sausage!:face-icon-small-blu
Some of their clothing today still looks that stupid.
So to not want a monosuit because of it's appearance is comical at best.
I would consider if I needed to replace my current gear.
Not saying I would buy it, but I would at least consider it.

The only draw back that I can see is that it would end up being just a dedicated snowmobiling/skiing suit. I can go out to a fancy dinner with my wife wearing my klim jacket or wear it anywhere for that matter. Not so with the one piece set up......
Might be nice for the kids so they stay warmer. My kids always complain that their cold, but then they're just wearing the Walmart junk snow pants and coats when we go riding. My oldest is just about done growing so I might invest in some decent gear for her.

I'd give them more consideration if they'd make the top half one color and the bottom another.
Got a chance to test out the FXR Maverick Monosuit this weekend. It worked killer!! And didn't look bad at all! Remember most people wear a pack of some sort so that breaks up the one piece look too.

The FXR does look pretty stylish. Hmm....

Every time, I see the one piece suits, I can only think of one thing. The GIGANTIC wedgey, I used to get as a kid wearing those things.

I do not really know what the sled specific fart bags look like. However, ski industry companies make them look like and actual jacket over the pant. You really never would know unless you actually know the product or the person told you. As far as the wedge goes- this ain't the 80's and the make em a little better.
That said, ski outerwear simply does not cut it for sledding. If a sled specific fart bag was out there, that looked sweet (not like a bi-polar, schizo sled wrap) I could see myself in one. Especially if it was made with E-Vent (MF?)
An E-Vent fart bag would be soooooooo expensive so I don't see it unless the others really take off at retail, not clearance prices. Anywho MF? Any thoughts

We must have different ideas of a fancy dinner. I don't think the Burger King drive through counts.
