My snow buddies give me grief as my attire is a collection of different brands I have owned over the years…

His and her arctic cat sweaters that came with the new 1972 Arctic Cat Panther that my parents bought when I was 10 years old. The sweaters were handed down from my parents and came with the original boxes. Price on the boxes is $15.95 each, but I think they came as free accessories. If I recall correctly they got $100 worth of merchandise with the sled.

Probably my wrist mirror. All my other stuff has come and gone but I still have the same wrist mirror from when I started a long time ago, and I never ride without it. If you don't have one, get one.

I'm not sure if the other brands had the freebies but I recall that Cat did. In our case, our new Cat came with a case of Snobil Oil. (spelled correctly) It came in one quart cans and was green in color. I can't recall what I had for lunch yesterday but I do remember that case of oil and what it smelled like when it burned.

A pair of factory Arctic Cat boots that came with my uncles new '94 Jag. I used them up until last year, but they really don't fit well and have since been retired. Still have them though.

Dont laugh but how about an old bell helmet with the pita snaps that hold the double pane flip up shield on and the "snork" face protector that kept your breath down and prevented shield fogging. Was the cats pajamas back in the day!

I call this one, Old Blue. I can't tell you how old she is, maybe John could as these haven't been for sale for quite a few years.
She's retired now, we logged many a miles on many of trips together. Nowadays, one of my favorites for the recliner in front of the TV on a cold winter's night. I can't think of anything from my snowmobiling that is any older and I'm more fond of.

My mother still has a early 1970's complete Polaris jacket/bid and boot set. Probably has the matching helmet somewhere too lol.

I still have my 1974 Kitty Cat with the original owner's manual and a couple of Kitty Cat patches from back the also.

I ran across a funnel that my dealer gave to me when I got my first new sled in '79. Still use it but the screen in the bottom is long gone and it doesn't get used for sledding.
