Summary Vivid V2 Mono suit
Winter is not for everyone, but we are a unique breed.
Some of us stand on running boards, others in bindings, but we all share the same fundamental needs when it comes to outlasting the elements.
We crave function, simplicity, quality and most of all, performance.
The Vivid series is the answer we’ve been seeking. Inspired from our time spent on snow machines, skis and snowboards, often in the same day, we are proud to present our most functional and versatile Vivid Mono Suit yet.
Most monosuits are built with thin, unsupported suspenders.
Like loggers—who spend their days bending, lifting, cutting and hauling—we consider a good pair of suspenders crucial to our performance. Our custom-constructed harness is padded for comfort, have three adjustments points to keep everything in place, and have two thoughtfully-placed radio clips. The mesh panel between the shoulder blades gives you a more ergonomic fit without sacrificing breathability. Our suspenders are as rugged as the terrain we ride in.
Wrist gaiters built for comfort and waterproofness
Laser cut nylon wrist gaiters. Welded seams blended with comfortable sleek construction that wicks moisture and dries quickly. Keeps snow out whether you wear an undercuff or gauntlet style glove.
The feature you’ll be shocked no-one’s thought of before
In the most technologically advanced age in history, most outerwear still requires us to take our phone out of our pockets. Our silicone smart-pocket is touch-friendly, helping you stay connected and communicate faster, so that you can spend less time pulling your phone out and more time having fun.
What this suit has in common with a bulletproof vest
We added Kevlar® Armortex® blend reinforcements to the knees and inside of the legs of this suit. This material is one of those magic modern materials that people talk about without really explaining any further. Bulletproof vests are also made with Kevlar, meaning this is the best protection you can have against sharp running boards or trees. And with an added layer of protection, you won’t think twice about taking a knee to fix or maintain your machine.
Double Stitching with TOBE Spider Silk™
When it comes to complex design, the most effective solutions often present themselves in nature. Our proprietary spider silk™ stitching was inspired by, arguably, the most experienced and specialized weavers on the planet. Our factories submit each stitch to a strenuous “Tensile Test” that measures stress versus strain to ensure maximum strength so that your suit is prepared to stand up to wear, tear, and the harshest conditions.
The one tiny detail that makes this suit more waterproof
In addition to testing the fabrics we use for waterproofness, we also test the overall construction of our gear in the “rain chamber.” It’s as if we put each of our monosuits through a carwash, and it allows to optimize the design for maximum water-tightness. One such design to result from this is a modified zipper design that captures any moisture that seeps through and funnels it out a tiny drain so that it never reaches your skin. In testing, this nearly invisible feature extended this suits rain chamber rating by an hour.

Why a monosuit is only as good as its ventilation
A snowmobile’s ventilation system is crucial to the machines performance. When the engine overheats, it loses power. Our bodies work similarly—we also need the ability to cool down. So when we designed the ventilation system for this monosuit, we drew inspiration from our toys. Micro stretch panels mimic vent screens to keep rain and snow out. And we moved the vents closer to the chest so that they works optimally with backpacks.
Because you can never have too many pockets
With 4 external pockets, a goggle-specific pocket and a smart-pocket for your phone, this suit has storage for all your adventure essentials—and then some. Remembering which pocket you put things in is up to you.
A multi-purpose hood built for any adventure
A collar that is too tight feels constrictive. One that’s too loose can be cold. And a centered zipper under your chin can be jabbing and uncomfortable. That’s why we re-developed this zipper on this monosuit 4 times: to design a collar that every rider could customize for the combination of comfort and ventilation.
