Valcourt, Canada (9/5/2007)
- Often, OEM clothing offerings are little
more than run-of-the-mill gear with corporate
logos. BRP takes a different approach with
its Ski-Doo® snowmobile gear, Sea-Doo®
boating gear, specifically designing its clothing
to enhance the experience of its vehicles.
And now it’s doing the
same with its 2008 line of Can-Am® riding
gear. The line, which includes technical riding
items, protective gear [including helmets]
and casual wear, will be available in Can-Am
dealerships in September 2007.
Like Can-Am ATVs, the 2008
Can-Am riding gear is aimed at enthusiasts
who insist on high performance and high tech.

Take the new over-the-boot X-Team
Cross Pants, specifically designed for performance
ATV riding. The mesh-lined, water-resistant
fabric is some of the most breathable in the
industry, keeping the rider dry inside and
out. A molded rubber kneecap and perforated
leather reinforcement are specifically positioned
on each leg matching the ergonomics of the
new DS™ 450 sport quad. Reflecting the
realities of ATV riding, the stretch crotch
panel is waterproof, unlike generic motocross
pants. The entire pant is incredibly light,
weighing less than two pounds [.9 kg].
There’s even innovation
in the new X-Team Hybrid gloves. Seams around
the fingers are inverted, giving them a seamless
feel, increasing handlebar feedback. The Can-Am
logo on each index finger even adds grip!

“Our consumers want our

Stéphane De Luca, Sales and Communication

by combining the latest technology with great
design and input and feedback from ATV enthusiasts.”
