To help keep snowmobilers warm this winter, BRP has updated its base layer line of winter wear to offer everyone the right clothing for their style of riding, from an ultra active mountain rider to the long distance touring rider.

The new BRP base layers are offered in three segments to fit a wide spectrum of riders and temperatures, from spring mountain riding to cold January mornings; the Active Base Layer is geared toward the Mountain and Race segment of riders, the Ultralight Base Layer towards Recreational riders and the Thermal Base Layer is designed for the Touring style rider. These base layers combine with a mid layer of fleece wear and an outer shell to help give a rider the most comfortable experience possible.

The Thermal Base Layer is constructed of high filament polyester with slight brushing for a soft feel and Spandex for easy movement. These products are Ideal for the touring rider and those experiencing the coldest climate conditions.

Ultralight Base Layers use a combination of polyester and coconut fiber for construction. The coconut fiber promotes evaporative cooling and absorbs odor while moving perspiration out and trapping warmth in. Spandex and mesh panels in key areas allow easier movement and promote faster drying and better ventilation. This mid-weight base layer is ideal for most trail riders that vary their riding throughout the day.

The Active Base Layer is compression fit for added comfort and enhanced with X-Static in the fiber which BRP says thermodynamically regulates body temperature. Permanently treated for antibacterial performance, the Active garments also feature silver woven into the fibers to eliminate odor. Extra panels in specific areas help improve ventilation and promote faster drying.
