There has been some great deals on 18 and 19 Cat’s. I’m sure you made a good buy on that sled! Love the black and good choice on the 137. I don’t think I would go back to a shorty.
I have to plug Fortnine and FXR. I bought FXR jacket and pants last year. I only wear my sled stuff when I’m riding so it was pretty low use. I did get lucky though and threw the jacket on during the cold snap we got about a month ago and the zipper pulled away from the jacket in about a 3” section. Kind of sucked but I figured just get a tailor to put a new zipper on. Before doing that I decided to reach out to both Fortnine and FXR which was on a Sunday. Fortnine emailed me back that same day just asking for pictures to move forward and FXR Monday morning asking me to contact the retailer. Got a shipping label from Fortnine on the Monday to return. Fast forward a couple of weeks (I was told it could take up to 4 weeks to hear back regarding warranty) and I get a email yesterday that they credited my full purchase price. I couldn’t be happier with both companies, almost zero effort on my part and they more then made up for the defect. I ended up just replacing it with the same jacket in this years model with no cost to myself. Both will continue to get my business.
