I would find an accessories shop. There are a few around but you might have to take a road trip. Some dealers have good inventory of accessories as well. Look for unsold older stock at reduced prices. Then you have all your online stores like Dennis Kirk. Every manufacturer has a web site also like Klim, FXR, CastleX, 509 and so on.

I love Katahdin snowmobile gear. Been using for many years now. Very good water resistance,warmth,and qualty. Very good price point as well. I use Katahdin bibs,jackets and gloves with very good results for trail riding. You can do a google search and even order direct from them.

Yes I know they are Ski Doo but they are great and hands will never get cold!

https://www.upnorthsports.com/ good place to start.
https://www.sierra.com/ has great clearance products ! More for skiing but it will work for Sledding
hhttps://www.revzilla.com/snow-closeoutsttps://
www.firstplaceparts.com/snowmobile-clearance.html another good site.


People can debate Clothing all day long ! Most of the time you get what you pay for but a great ski jacket for 150.00 can be just as good as a snowmobile jacket . For boots I prefer a good set of 2000 gram hunting boots . Warm dry and easy to walk in !

I added @Rockmeister Yamaheaters on all of my snowmobiles with the exception being the RX-1; older years didn't seem to have an issue with the level of power being supplied to the handwarmers being based off the engine RPM (i.e. slow idle/low rpm = less power to handwarmers = cold hands). His Yamaheaters supply full power to the handwarmers and even has a boost that will fry your hands.

If it was me, I would try to hold off until the fall if/when the snow shows return unless of course you need a jacket/bibs now. Tons of gear sold at the show and at great prices; if you don't mind previous year models. For example, @Port-Parts (aka Port Yamaha) always has good deals on jackets and bibs at the show in Novi, MI as do others. Plus, shopping at the snow shows removes any doubt the gear you purchase will fit as you can try them on before buying.

i usually try and buy any gear i need in the spring as that is when most of the good sales are at dealers outside of a snow show.
