It’s not simply about the colour pink, or looking girly. Mountain riding women want aggressive gear that works.

MotorFist understands this and has brought it big time with the company’s new Contessa lineup. With the eVent membrane, Contessa gear will keep us warm and dry for our entire ride.

Women have needs, especially when it comes to snowmobile clothing and riding gear. We are simply built different. Gone are the days of looking like a homie from da hood, as we tried to make men’s pants work for our womanly figures! The Contessa pants provide durability and functionality with unreal state-of-the-art technology, and a fit that works for our hips and leg length.

The high back on the pants prevents snow from entering our nether regions and the boot gaiters  are double reinforced to ensure the snow will stay out of our boots. Great venting and awesome pocket placement create style and functionality. 

The Contessa jacket is awesome in design and function. It is strategically vented with an inner pit mesh to prevent snow from blowing in while allowing steam to blow out. The offset zipper with a soft little zipper garage prevents chapping and poking. Wrist gaiters and fleece-lined sleeves are just a few more added comforts that MotorFist has incorporated in this jacket.

A hint on sizing: go one size larger in the jacket for proper fit. The Contessa pants seem to be true to sizing but the Contessa jacket’s fitted waist makes it a bit of a tight fit, especially if you wear a TekVest beneath your outer layer. 

Well done MotorFist! The Contessa lineup is made for the real rider! Thank you.
