It’s the third year in a row that I have had the chance to try the Helium Enduro kit with the pro version jacket. What separates this version from the regular is the distinctive performance inscriptions such as “Rotax,” “XPS” and “KYB.”

As soon as I received the kit, I immediately noticed all the attention paid to the small details and the quality of the materials. The 2020 version is, in my opinion, a little more sober than the previous ones, but with a lot of refinement. This kit is specially designed for active driving in hybrid mode where the driver expends a lot of energy. It’s not a jacket that is designed for very cold days as it is semi-insulated. In fact, this kit is insulated with Primaloft Black. The Sympatex membrane is designed to be perfectly wind resistant.

It’s also waterproof and highly breathable. The inclusion of Cordura fabric in wear-sensitive areas allows for uncompromising durability. You don’t need to put on a lot of underwear in mild weather but adding intermediate layers will make it more comfortable on the trail when the temperature drops. For the upper body, the added compressible Ski-Doo jacket combined with an Enduro Pro allows the jacket to be used in much colder temperatures.

Since 2019, this jacket has the attachments for the Oxygen helmet’s heated visor wire on the right side. The pants are also amazingly comfortable and specially designed for active driving.

Personally, I obviously recommend this kit because of its quality and its impact on the driving experience. After testing the versions of the last three years, I am still very satisfied with the product. If your driving style is very active and you’re often in off-trail mode, the Helium Enduro kit is for you. The compressible jacket as an intermediate layer allows you to ride with this kit in much colder temperatures. If you regularly ride your snowmobile in very cold temperatures, it’s important to check the level of insulation required for your riding style. BRP offers a wide range of clothing options to suit your driving style and budget.

The best thing to do is to visit your BRP Ski-Doo dealer or visit www.ski-doo.com for more information.

In closing, I would like to thank BRP for supplying the Enduro Pro jacket and X-Team pants for the SledMagazine.com 2020 trials.
