I agree, but spidy is not a tech guy when it comes to those things, which is why I stated my thoughts.    the backpack is for kids and young people, you’ll want all your stuff stowed away on the sled, and I’m guessing it’s a 2 stroke, so oil needed too, for trips at least if that’s a future path. 

Been looking hard at Polaris - bottom line - I don't want a full black out sled and that's about all i can find in what I would want option wise - and within what I'm willing to spend. soo.....  

Maybe so conflicted because looking at wrong brand????   LOL!!    

Leaving here in 15 minutes to go look again. I've never been more conflicted/confused ever   My options are 129 - G8 gauge 137 - Sport gauge   $100.00 difference.   Not too worried about bag storage. they both will hold 1 - I wear a backpack when out overnight.   This almost kinda sucks lol

I would go with best gauge possible that allows a breadcrumb or marks where you have been.   people on here state the trail pass at $200 is best money spent   but wouldn’t an extra $1,000 on a gauge they will own for years and that will retain value for your sled and possibly get you home safe be a good investment?
