WindshieldBag

NXT LVL Series Windshield Pak

We know a ton of riders that remove the windshield from their buggy for many-many reasons. If you are one of those riders, then you should have a serious look at the NXT LVL Windshield Pak. Designed to located directly over the existing OEM windshield holes, this pack is made from a durable structural fabric that wont break or bend. The Pak is also available in a vented design that ingeniously has been designed to work directly with the heat vents on the cowling to keep warm and/or dry and what ever you may want to stash away. Who doesn’t love that feeling of putting on a warm pair of dry goggles half way through the day? Pure joy.   For complete details and fitment for your sled head over to your local Gamma Powersport dealer: www.gammapowersports.com
TunnelBag

NXT LVL Series Tunnel Bag

Here is a tunnel bag that can morph into a storage device for whatever day you are heading out for. The Paks were developed with a modular-type design allowing you to choose whether to pack for a quick rip to the clubhouse, or an extended full pull to the cabin in the woods. The Pak universally attaches to the tunnel with supplied buckles and adhesive Velcro making it a breeze to remove. A nice added “attention to detail” is the heavy duty D-Rings that allows additional larger items to be toted along with the use of bungee cords.  For complete details head over to your local Gamma Powersport dealer: www.gammapowersports.com

 

Switch-goggle

Switch Goggle

Here is a new goggle from Triple 9 Optics that needs to be put on the “I-want-that” list. With large spherical lenses, these goggles actually help increase the vision range and extends the peripheral view. This makes it easier for you to spot your buddy trying to sneak up and pass you on the inside.  The newly designed vent foam also helps the goggle breath, but at the same time, stop as much cold air from seeping in. We all know that is a fine-line balance between cold face and foggy goggles.  The goggles also include an oversize nose beak and a silicone lined strap. To get your hands on the newest goggle from Triple 9 check in at your local Gamma Powersports Dealer: www.gammapowersports.com

 

XCS-Ski-SetXSC Ski

We caught wind, that our friends at C&A Pro have just dropped yet another new ski in to the marketplace. Introducing the all-new XCS (aka the Xtreme Cross Ski), which answers the call for a snowmobile ski that will work on the faster and lighter sleds being offered. C&A put some serious testing into this bad-boy and created a ski that provides ample off-trail flotation, at the same time as, laying down a solid footing while on-trail. The design of the outboard keel helps alleviate darting and the newly developed traction scoops (found on both sides of center keel) aids in keeping the XCS planted firmly when you hot into the corner. So all in all the designers at C&A Pro have created a ski that is proficient in “ground-and-pound” situations as well as those occasional trips “off-trail” when you want to show your buddies how good you can handle the deep pow-brah.

Scott is one of the leaders when it comes to winter goggles. They were the first to introduce the adjustable FIX system, which allows the rider to adjust the frame to fit different face shapes. Leave it to Scott to tackle another problem; having to pack multiple goggles for a day out on the trail or mountain.

Introducing the LCG (Lens Change Goggle) from Scott. This engineering masterpiece allows the rider to swap the lens at the push of a button. That’s right, you read that correctly, simply depress the button on the side of the frame, and the lens removes itself ready to accept the other lens that came with the goggle.
