This season, I can try out a Ski-Doo X-TEAM set, including jackets, overalls and leather gloves. For more than a decade, this line of snowmobile clothing has stood out for its race-inspired look, comfort and performance in all weather conditions. The sporty side is very visual and presents with distinctive performance markings such as “Rotax”, “XPS”, “Brembo”, “NSK” and “KYB”. It’s a package that offers the ideal level of warmth and flexibility of use through a design specifically made for trail riding. If you only have one set to get, the X-TEAM 2023 line is the one to get.
