Fxr family here as well. Wife, kids, grandparents on both sides. It's good quality. That and if you have an issue they back their stuff up. Had the odd tear (abuse, not a defect) and just e-mailed them and they shipped out free iron on patch kits (regardless of the age of the garment and didn'task for proof of purchase). Same with zippers pulls. Overall we've had very few issues. Warmth is decent. It was really the flotation in every suit along with decent warmth that sold us. Especially for the kids. Have bought a lot used on kijiji and more recently have bought a few new suits. I'd believe their warmth rating system. It's pretty accurate. If I was being critical I'd say the suit doesn't always breath as well as I'd like. More find that when you go do something strenuous like cutting a hole in the ice in lake. But then again that's the adrenaline suit which is their highest warmth rating. I could shed a layer of the coat and a lot of that would go away. Base layers count regardless of what you're wearing. I could see myself trying the high end Klim suit down the road, but only the version with flotation. Can't see me changing the whole family over. FXR has that right balance being good quality, but not fall over ridiculous pricing. Have had cheaper floater suits in the past and these are night and day better for warmth.

Just curious if there is any news coming out of northern ontario about this upcoming season. Any chance halfway is re-opening? If not will the D trail remain open like other years? Has the new hotel opened in Hornepayne? Any other interesting changes occurring?

Not first hand knowledge, but there was a Polaris parked at the landing at our cottage a few years ago with a jackshaft sitting on the seat of it. So there's definitely some validity to it. They all can go though. I had a pto side driveshaft bearing go on a rev xs. Not common on that model, but it can happen.

Pulled the sleds out for a bath today. This is what an ice ripper with 23,000 kms looks like. Not perfect, but not terrible either.

Looking for advice. Anyone know the root cause of what makes these do this. Right went first. Left a cpl weeks later. 2016 blizzard 900 ace. Is it an issue with the warmers, or do I have another electrical issue i should be looking into?

26,000 km on my one sled. Original track. Tips are still fine. Arguably due for a track replacement soon, but its more to do with the rubber than the carbide tips. Others results may vary, but that's my experience. Ice ripper has been a very reliable, durable product.

My wife complained a touch when i switched her to an ice ripper. Her sled had traditional studs on it. Had one pull and take the exchanger with it near Kapuskasing a few years ago. That was our last traditionally studded track that we will ever own. After she got used to the ice ripper the roads and snow banks haven't been an issue. She just had to learn to approach with a touch more speed.

4 for a mini z. Younger for a kitty kat. By 7 or 8 they will outgrow the mini z. I've been debating going to a sno skoot or a small sled. My boys have been fine on the full size sled though so probably won't. Just spent the $50 for a kids key for the 900 ace.

Smart to get your projects in now. Once the feds announce the interest rate drop construction will take off again. I'd say this is the calm before the storm. For major infrastructure in the GTA we are booking jobs 2 - 3 years out still as they know finding the trades will be an issue again.

I'll second that. Great tire!!!

Thank you for the report. Not what I wanted but the truth.

Anyone on here ride Hearst to Greenstone this past weekend? If so how was it? Worth the trip next week? Also how was Kap to Hearst?

What fleet customer buys 400 units? That's a huge order.
