Used a Tobe Rex Monosuit all last year, love it. Going from HMK pants and a High Quality FXR Coat, I find it much better. Mine is non-insulated, and I just layer accordingly - usually riding between 0 and -10 C, base layer, pants and long sleeve and a Tek vest. Usually have a hoodie or sweater in the gear bag if I end up riding late or get some nasty windchills.

Only complaint I had was a set of suspenders would have been great, especially when you are stopped and have the top half opened or down. I do see the Rex V2 has the suspenders for this year. I only found the sizing to run a little big. Even with the Tek vest, it's a little big on me. They do have a lot of great pictures to help you decide, but I could have went a size down I'd say.

I also bought mine at the end of season near 40% off, just in case you didn't need it right away.

 

U can fart in one at 9am and un zip it at 3:30 pm and still get punched in the face with stank. Haha!! Kind of like a pair of chest waders..

 

TOBE gear is simply amazing...especially their monosuits. Hit us up with any questions or pricing...we're always happy to give discounts on gear to DooTalk members. :ride:

 

Love the mono suits. I’m currently running the Tobe Privus (couple year old model) which I think is similar to the Ludo now. I’ve also tried the Klim ones. Both are similar, but you really have to try them on to see how they fit.

 

I ran the 509 Allied monosuit last year and loved it! Pretty durable, kept me dry, and beats out most other companies on pricing. The fit was great too; i never felt restricted whenever i moved.

 

Great info guys. So they all seam to hold up to the abuse. fit and pricing will be my deciding factors. Looking forward to some snow so I can test my purchase. Lol

If you decide on the Klim Monos I can hook you up.

 

I took a leap of faith in a Klim one piece ripsa suit last year and was amazed...no hot...no cold...no wind...no snow getting in...it was like the entire day I was as comfortable and warm as I would have been sitting on the couch at home. It quickly became a no brainer...one piece of gear from head to toe...easy to keep track of. And I don't need to second guess if its gonna be enough. Pockets are an "Ehh"...could be a little bigger/better located but not a huge deal. But in the steep and deep or on the trails in and out the suit just made the weather irrelevant! The other brands I'm sure are right there as well...pick your favorite color and enjoy the days even more!

Yup! what he said!

 

Tobe gear is truly unreal. The few pieces I have worn both Klim and Tobe have been much nicer on the Tobe side of things. Message me if you go that route and want 10% off

 

Have a Tobe Novo mono suit and it is an exceptionally well made piece of kit but not cheap.

 

I bought a CKX one piece last year and love it. I'll never go back to bibs and coat.

I got the outer shell and just wear sweatpants and a fleece up top plus depending on the temps, under armor.

 

Tobe mono suits are unreal!!! I wore Klim bibs for years and as everyone knows klim gear is awesome stuff but in the steep and deep I wanted to go mono suit. Im now on my second TOBE suit and couldn't be happier. Big shout out to Antlers lodge in Cooke for letting me use a REX for a day at no cost. That's the only way i would consider the price tag but it is worth it!!! After using a REX for a season I purchased an Odin for the leg zipper option. Both suits are amazing and being 100% dry at the end of the day is epic. The only reason I didn't choose the Klim mono suit was the fit. It seemed to me the Klim was fit to a tall slim build, modeled after Burant maybe. I'm a stockier guy @ 210 LBS and 6'0" and the fit of the Large TOBE feels like it was made for me. So to me both great suits but when spending that much coin a guy really needs to try them on. Just my 2 cents....

 

I've got a Tobe mono I bought a few years ago and never got to liking it. Used on the trails for about 300 miles and has been in the closet since. Thinking of selling...
