Only the Best | Why Choose FXR for Your Snowmobile Gear

We started out at a small motorcycle repair show just a few minutes outside of Buffalo, NY. We have a passion for 2 wheels and going fast, and that’s why when we started selling gear out of our store, and online here at motoz.net, we knew FXR was the top brand for snowmobile gear. Here in WNY, we get about half the year that you could see snowfall, so snowmobile riding is big up this way, but if you’re on the hunt for snowmobile jackets, pants, gloves, helmets, or other gear, we’ve got you covered! Head over to our FXR snowmobile gear page to see everything we’ve got! 

Today on the blog, we’re going to dig a little deeper into the snow and tell you exactly why FXR is the best of the best when it comes to snow gear, and why we sell it!

Advanced Tech Protection

One of the main reasons why you should consider investing in FXR gear is that they invest in tech and are at the forefront of outdoor sports apparel technology. FXR doesn’t just license technology from other companies; like Gore-Tex, they build their own! 

They have all sorts of systems built into their apparel that keep riders warm, dry, and wind-free. They build their gear more like a scientist than a snowmobiler. The F.A.S.T. system is built into their jackets and pants for warmth, but also for buoyancy, which helps a rider stay afloat in case they fall through ice into frigid water.

This video does a great job of breaking down the interesting aspects of FXR technology!

Designs Built for Different Riders

FXR designs its apparel for snow lovers. This means snowmobile riders and anyone who needs to be in the winter temperatures. They keep riding at the forefront of their designs and create technology for different riding conditions. 

FXR has snowmobile gear for varying levels of trail-riding intensity, including:

Backcountry- Pure performance for all deep snow conditions

Backcountry Crossover- Flexible insulation options for all temps and conditions

Performance Crossover- Built for exploring and being versatile, featuring F.A.S.T. tech

Performance Trail- For long distances, comfort, and staying safe with F.A.S.T. tech

With the versatility of all different types of gear, FXR offers comfort, safety, and mobility for riders of every level! 

SAFETY

We touched on a bit of the safety aspect of FXR snowmobile gear, but it deserves its own category, because the way FXR creates apparel to protect the rider is unparalleled. 

The F.A.S.T. system features built-in buoyancy, which is vital if you’re riding on ice or near water. This tech provides built-in protection with foam to prevent sinking, and helps a rider to stay afloat up to 2 hours in a survival situation afloat. You’d never know you were wearing a flotation suit, though, because of the way they build the foam into your mobility, keeping you free to ride safely. 

The chest, side body, and leg vents incorporate FXR’s Dry Vent system, which keeps you dry from the outside, as well as the inside, preventing sweat from causing cold dampness from within. The mesh lining and perforated insulation drain water and help the suit to dry quicker. 

FXR helmets are built with omnidirectional suspension, or ODS, to protect your head. They partner with 6D helmets to incorporate their ODS tech that covers motocross and snowmobiling. The ODS system helps to protect your brain from trauma, reduces the force of impact with 2 different liners, and also includes an emergency release system feature in case the rider needs to quickly remove the helmet after an accident

The Gear is Just Cool!

Ultimately, this reason doesn’t come down to the tech or safety of FXR’s products. It’s just simply cool stuff. They don’t get too fancy with their designs, so even if you’re just a regular ride,r you’re not going to look like a 70’s motocross rider with logos slapped all over your back, but they create a product that is both modern and timeless, creating a functional and fashionable product for riders of any age. They consistently put out cool-looking helmets, jackets, boots, gloves, and more! We are always looking to help our fellow riders out there with the best gear, if theres’ a product you’d love to see on our store, let us know! We only aim to have the best here at Moto Z, and that’s why we sell FXR.
