Tired of the usual boring options for snowpants, I decided to try some Burton Snowpants this year as part of my sledding fashion. I loved the obnoxious pattern and loose styling of the pant I chose. On colder days, I will still wear my Klim pants, but for more temperate conditions and spring riding, I am going with something a little more fun. However, I am all too aware that most snowpants for boarding or skiing applications don't hold up long to the rigors of snowmobiling. One of the biggest problems occurs when the inside bottom of the pant rips on the spiky/sharp boards of the sled. I thought I would circumvent this problem by having a seamstress sew some reinforced material on the inside of pant-- the kind they put on the inside of motorcross pants to protect them from heat/wear and tear. If I found a good fabric, I would also reinforce the knees- the patches will only make the pants have more character!!
I just don't know what type of fabric I need to buy. I only need about 1/2 meter of this stuff... Is it Kevlar? Nomex? Waterproof Goretex?
HELP!!
