When the snowmobiling season ends, it is time to put away your snowmobile gear until the weather gets colder and the snow starts falling again. But you will want to ensure that you store things properly so they stay in good condition. Read below for a quick guide for storing your snowmobile gear during the off-season.

Store It in One Spot

One thing you should do when putting your gear into storage is to make it easy to find when the season begins again. Instead of separating your jackets from your gloves and boots, put them all in one place. That way, you will know that you are not missing anything and will not have to go on any additional searches to ensure you have everything you need.

Clean and Dry Your Clothes

Another tip for storing your snowmobile gear during the off-season is to clean everything before you put it into storage. Now is the time to remove any unwanted odors that may attract pests.

You also have a good opportunity to add more life to your outerwear with the help of a specialty cleaner that can revitalize the waterproof features. However, dry your clothing before you put it into storage so it does not develop any mildew or mold due to moisture.

Avoid the Attic and Basement

You can also prevent mold and mildew growth by keeping your gear out of places that experience temperature shifts, such as your attic or basement. Store everything in a cool, dry place and keep clothes out of the sunlight to prevent fading.

Help Your Clothes Keep Their Shape

You can also help preserve your clothes by not overpacking them in the same spot. If you cram items together, such as boots, you may cause them to lose their natural shape. You also can help prevent this by using shapers or tissue paper that help ensure your boots look as good as when you packed them away.

Taking these precautions will ensure your gear is ready for more snowmobiling. If you need new Ski-Doo riding gear, contact Peakboys. We can help prepare you for another exciting and fun season in the snow.
