In the market to purchase a new jacket. I ride only one week a year the last week of January in the UP. I live in Akron Ohio so we dont have many options to shop other then online. I would like a black or white and black combo that is going to keep me warm and comfortable. What are some things to look for and what to stay away from. I dont want to spend over $250. Thanks for the input!

New Jacket Recomendations
- Thread starter gauman2
- Start date
I think the first thing to look at is whether you want to go insulated or non-insulated (i.e., "shell" or "layering"). The trend has been towards the shell/layering system where you wear a fleece midlayer underneath the shell for warmth.
I also only ride about 8 days a year. When I buy my next snowmobile jacket, it will probably be a shell so that I can make more use of it when I am not snowmobiling. The current jacket I have is insulated and real bulky so I don't like wearing it when I'm not on a snowmobile.

If you go to Novi, and are looking at the layering system, go find Julie from Perkinsville Powersports. She is a KLIM dealer and is going to be at the Novi show. She gave me a great deal on some non-current gear. It is 2009 left over stuff that is pretty much the same as 2010 but a lot cheeper. I went with the layering system as well for same reason as iusmit for more versitility. Very happy!!!!
