Right now is the peak of the snowmobiling season which also means there are greater dangers to your safety. So, what do we do to keep it safe in the mountains?
One of the first things all serious riders always put on before they ride is a chest protector. This type of protection is often overlooked by riders and simply not worn. This year you’ll see a lot of hardcore riders wearing the SV1 Trail Protective Snow Vest from EVS. These vests are built with a puncture resistant internal EVA and PP armor construction to protect against collisions and abrasions. They are also equipped with RECCO Avalanche Rescue System which is crucial for hill climbing.
Beyond the safety features, these vests also give you another layer of warmth. They can be worn under your jacket or outside, as the Hi-Vis reflective piping makes the rider highly visible. The full front zip closure make for easy-on/easy-off and it’s relatively light weight too.
EVS also makes race version of their SV1 vest which has an optional compatible neck brace and conforms to all ISR guidelines. The race version is shown in the picture below.
In the end, being safe when out in the powder is the most important. EVS is one of the more popular brands for safety equipment from knee and neck braces to chest and shin protectors. There are many other brands who make similar products that could fit your needs, but I recommend EVS.
