For many years now, I dress and protect myself with CKX clothing and helmet. As I ride my snowmobile on more than 10 000 km each season, I am in a good position to appreciate the high quality and the outstanding properties of these pieces of equipment.
In its first edition, many years ago, I had the joy and the privilege to wear the CKX Carbontronic jacket and the CKX Carbonstyle pants in the worst conditions. I have been very satisfied when I wore them in extreme weather conditions, so I did not hesitate to choose again the CKX Carbontronic. After more than 40 000 km wearing this outfit, it is still mint condition and will see another season on the Québec trails.
This year, the CKX Carbontronic jacket comes in a new version. It is presented with all the modern features: waterproof, comfortable and adjustable. The CKX Carbontronic is designed for long rides of many days where the capacity to quickly adapt to changing weather conditions becomes essential if you want to keep on riding in comfort.
The removable collar of this jacket is really outstanding and is a «must» for very cold days. Even with a good balaclava, sometimes the air coming under the helmet freezes the neck. Thanks to the collar that can be adjusted perfectly under the bottom and around the helmet, for a comfort fit, heat and well-being are guaranteed in extreme conditions.
The CKX Carbontronic also comes with a removable liner that can be put on and off depending on the weather conditions. The zippers also control an efficient vent in warm weather. All the seams are taped and there are many pockets well located all over the jacket and pants.
The new CKX Carbontronic is also covered with REISSA that makes the jacket windproof, snowproof and rainproof while breathable, in order to evacuate the body moisture. Waterproof zippers and rubber protectors on shoulders, back and elbows complete this smart and efficient gear.
The Carbonstyle bib pants that suits the Carbontronic jacket, are designed with the same care and details. It is protected with REISSA, the seams are all taped and knees and seat area are reinforced for a better durability and more comfort. There are also zippers along the legs for a greater adaptability in warm weather.
In my opinion, the CKX Carbonstyle pants and the CKX Carbontronic jacket are some very efficient clothes that fit all weather conditions. They have an incredible quality/price ratio.
