This year we chose to stud our Camso Ice Cobra 1.6”.
Last year we tested the 1.6″ Camso Ice Cobra. It is a very capable track but maybe the choice to install it on a 120” 800cc chassis was the wrong choice. It was excellent when idling and exploring through the bush in powder snow, but coming out of corners on a hard-packed trail, or trying to decelerate on glare ice, the sled would easily overpower it. So, we wanted to test it with studs this year.

Studding your snowmobile track is a safe thing to do.

Put up your hand if you’ve slid through a corner and ended up in the bush. Have you crossed a lake, got the next land crossing, hit the glare ice found at every portage, and then slid into the portage at a much higher speed than you wanted?
Ironically a buddy texted while writing this, and I quote; “So…..I rolled her lol. Runs mint but time for some parts lol. No studs and glare ice are a bad combo when stopping lol.” Running a non-studded track is simply very, very, unsafe.

Recently, we gave a report on four monosuits from HMK, Klim, FXR and Motorfist in our Monosuit Shootout. When we received these suits, with them came some other outerwear test gear that we’ll cover here. We’ve reported on the Motorfist Argo Avy bag here in a separate article.

Here is a quick recap of some goggles, boots, and a helmet we’ve tested this past year.
