First and foremost, you will need to think about staying warm. Riding a snowmobile will expose you to extreme windchill, so make sure to protect your skin from the cold. The best approach is to layer on multiple garments and cover every inch of skin. The advantage of wearing layers is that you can remove a layer or two as needed, and achieve the perfect level of insulation for the conditions you are faced with.

The best riding clothes are made with performance fabrics that wick away moisture. One option is a one-piece riding suit that covers your whole body. Another option is a snowmobile bib, which is similar to overalls. Bibs provide less coverage, but they are easier to get in and out of. Keep in mind that either option should be worn with additional layers.

As you might expect, the most important piece of snowmobile gear is your helmet. The best snowmobile helmets provide full-face coverage and ventilation. Make sure to find a helmet that fits you properly, and replace it about every 3-5 years.

Riding boots and gloves are also essential. They should both be insulated, waterproof, and breathable. Snowmobile boots should also have good traction for walking on snow and ice.
