• Coat – windproof and waterproof. You want your coat to also protect your neck and your back. Make sure the collars comes up high enough to cover your entire neck and also make sure your coat is long enough to cover your backside when you sit down on your snowmobile.

• Pants – windproof and waterproof. You want you pants long enough to cover your boots while sitting and their should be an inner cuff on your pant legs that wrap tightly around your boots to prevent snow from getting in.

• Gloves – waterproof and insulated. The cuff should come up your forearm over your coat to prevent wind and snow from blasting onto your arms.

• Boots – waterproof and insulated. They should be at least ankle high to protect your legs. Make sure they have enough grip on the boot to make sure you can get around if you do become stuck.

• Helmet – DOT, ANSI or Snell approved. A helmet is mandatory if under 18 yrs old. Your helmet should fit you snug yet comfortably. Your helmet can be closed faced (like the picture shown) or open faced like a motocross helmet. With those you need to wear goggles and faced shield to protect your skin.

• Goggles – UV rated lens and yellow coated for overcast days to help you see different features in the land. Make sure, if you are wearing goggles, that they are seated snuggly against your face. You don't want wind, snow or debris getting into your eyes.
