I grew out of onesies when I learn to poop in the toilet. I understand the concept of keeping the snow out, but they have to be saggy as heck so you are able to step over side to side and to reach out with your arms without creating a self inflicted wedgy.

I wear a TOBE and love it so much I bought another one. My daughter is going to wear an FXR this year. The vent well, and less layers required I find because all your body heat is in one compartment. As far as being to baggy, I rock an XL for the length.

I think I would look like a F_ing telletubby in one!
However, we shouldn't care how we look. Dry & comfy is King!

Back in the John Deere and Scorpion days we called the "Snowmobile Suits"

Do the new ones have the rad belt?

I can see some pro's like not have your shoulder straps falling down, no snow up your coat. But con's also like when you stop and your hot you can't just take off your coat and cool down. Can't decide if looking like a teletubbie is a pro or con...

My TOBE has suspenders inside, so you can pull the top half down and cool off if required! I still see guys wearing full leather ones! Onesies are making a come back!

I have a 1991 sears snowmobile suit in storage. Very good condition. Not waterproof but but very warm except when butt gets wet from sitting on seat.

Will sell if anyone is interested. :face-icon-small-win

1991 was a much slimmer time for me, and I was only 11. It may fit me more like spandex

I'm sure they are warm but finding one to fit me would be a problem. I have to wear coveralls for work and always have trouble finding ones that are long enough and not baggy. I've looked at the one peice ones but never found one that would fit like I want so I will stick with a mis matched pants and coat sizes

Well, I didn't say there were not baggy to get the length. I had the same issue and they are like xxl and legs are like 20, lol

Actually, it was really easy to put on and take off. I looked at the new monos and since I don't know anyone that has one it was just too much $ for me to spend on something that I may not like so I bought Klim pants and will keep rockin my $75 Columbia jacket that has lasted over 10 years (with a few trips to the seamstress to sew up tears from branches).
