Looking at buying an FXR ranger lite mono suit. I'm around 6 foot one 193lbs. Trying to decide on a size. Does anyone have this particular suit. Looking at a medium or large
Fxr is junk, do yourself a favour and get a klim or a Tobe. Youll be wet after a season or two in the FXR, riding buddy of mine has had 3 fxr monosuits and all of them started failing after the first season. He keeps buying them due to the discount a buddy of his gets from a racing sponsorship, he just gets a new one every couple years for like $250-300 lol. I have a large Klim monosuit, 2 full seasons and ive never once been close to damp, fits awesome, little long as im only 5'8 but im 200lbs so mediums dont fit around my shoulders and chest. I really liked the Tobe as well but fit isnt as good for me, also tougher to find is why i went Klim
And that’s the reason I will be making the switch, shouldn’t have to continually spray down your gear. I’ll also be getting the sledding boots as well, my feet are always wet in the fxr boots and the cost is the same as the TOBEI'm going on my 3rd season with my Tobe mono suit and never once spayed it with water proofing. Still dry after a long day. Only place that gets wetc at times is my shins where snow can get up and between the outer and inner layer.

No rainbow here, i never voted liberalYour thinking does not add up for me. If this guy can have a brand new suite each season that costs him $250/year and at that price he never gets wet but certainly gets new colours to match his new sled. At the same time you wear the same suite for 4 years for the same money and deal with the burn holes, stains and the rainbow scheme that you had in 2017, maybe he is better off? I am on the 3rd season with my FXR gear and it is just starting to show its age. It is certainly a bit lighter built than Klim but it is also a lot less pricy.

When hes getting wet steady every deep spring ride the 1st season of owning the suit its hard to back it and the purchase spray to essentially put lipstick on a pig. My last klim gear lasted a long time before i got damp. My pants were 7 seasons, got damp one real warm and deep spring day, and i never once had an issue with my coat. Had my insulated klim coat for 10 years, and my non insulated one for 4 years. Just washed my gear once a season and that is allFxr-Supposed wash your gear and reapply the waterproofing once per season.. different companies do different things. The waterproof spray is 20 bucks. Not the end of the world.
The weight difference between the fxr and TOBE is very noticeable as well, TOBE feels a lot lighter
