To Avoid Freezing Feet This Winter

To Avoid Freezing Feet This Winter

Have you ever had cold feet? It is very unpleasant, and once your feet are cold, it is tough to warm up. We try all kinds of things from the pepper in the boots to the little “hot shots” bag, big wool socks, etc., but some are more fragile and still freeze.

Kimpex is continually looking for innovation so that the snowmobiler can stay warm. The company produces different CKX boots and this year I tested the CKX YUKON model.

I tested the boots at freezing temperature (-25 C) on a snowmobile, and I didn’t feel any discomfort. My feet were warm and dry all day long. I also tested the Yukon during a day of shooting for Motoneiges.TV to Monts-Vallin, it was -28 C and once again my feet didn’t feel the cold.

The first quality of these boots is the comfort mainly due to their lightness; it’s like being in your slippers. I recommend the CKX YUKON boots, and I thank KIMPEX for giving me the opportunity to try their products.

Mario Bernier

Mario has been a snowmobile enthusiast since the early 1970s. While riding on the fields of the family farm with his parents' Skiroule, Mario fell in love with this winter hobby and this passion has never disappeared. In the mid 1980's, he bought his first snowmobile, a 1976 Arctic Cat Panther. Since then, Mario has had many brands and models of snowmobiles, always looking for the perfect one for him. In 2009, he became a contributor for the web magazine Motoneiges.ca and met a team of enthusiasts like him. Mario likes to write about the trips he takes, the clothes and accessories he wears and of course the snowmobiles he tries in order to inform the readers of the magazine. If you meet him on the trail or in a relay, come and talk to him, it will be a pleasure for him to talk about snowmobiles.
