Amen to that. I wear Klim and I wish it was made in the USA. This is an excellent point and very important. Is Moto Fist made in the USA? They seem to be sort of "on par" with Klim and if made in USA, that could be a game changer for them to switch guys to their brand.

hi guys,
It's been a while since this discussion stopped
. I'm wondering if there's anymore feedback (riding experience) out there on the Keeweenaw jacket and bibs. I've been looking at the Klimate and Keeweenaw. There are a few extras that I like in the keeweenaw (like the gators) but it fits tight at the waist/hips compared to the Klimate - both mediums, and I'm a 32" waist.
From a warmth/insulation standpoint, can anyone compare these two jackets to an FXR or CKX technowear (which I wear now)? I understand layering and I've been doing it for years. Just wondering if I would need more layers under an insulated Klim than I would under a less technical suit. I ride on trail in Northern Ontario and while on trips, we can't wait until it gets warmer to ride.

I purchased the Keeweenaw bibs and pants for this season. So far I have been very pleased with them. I had Reima gear which was almost 10 years old and thought I would freshen up the sled attire. The Keeweenaw is the warmest KLIM makes I believe and I can attest it is warm (in my opinion). If you are a very active rider could see it being too warm possibly. I am a trail / lake rider and find it getting warm when temps are a few degrees below freezing. I helped someone who was stuck last weekend and found I got hot a bit quick. For cold weather riding I highly reccomend it. I also have the KLIM fusion gloves which I have found to be very warm. One item to keep in mind is that I have not had the opportunity to try this setup in frigid temps. The coldest riding day I have had this winter is -16 Celcius.

thanks. I've done more research and I'm getting the Keweenaw jacket and bibs as well as the fusion gloves. I will get the jacket in large because medium is too tight but the medium bibs. I was going to get a Klim balaclava but I will stick with an Unwind. for better wind protection.

I have a Yamaha Fxr jacket and have had no issues. I love that the liner is removable and I can use it as a 3 season day to day jacket reping Yamaha and ride comfortable on the weekend. As for bibs I have never been cold in the legs even at -30c or coldercand my bibs are a marks workwear house special for 90$. A good base long underwear and combat pants (usually) then bibs.
