KIDDE FIRE EXTINGUISHER RECALL: Personal Watercraft Owners Affected

November 2, 2017 - In conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Kidde announced a recall to replace certain Kidde fire extinguishers. The replacement program was initiated because certain fire extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to activate, posing a risk of failure to discharge. In addition, the nozzle can detach with enough force to pose an impact hazard. The product recall involves two styles of Kidde disposable fire extinguishers: plastic handle fire extinguishers and plastic push-button fire extinguishers.

10 Yamaha Snowmobile Gift Ideas

Are you looking for some of the best gift ideas for the Yamaha snowmobiler in your life?

Whether you're buying for your husband, wife, child, family member, friend, or an alien, here's a sampling of quality gifts for you to consider to put a smile on their face.

I think we can both agree if an alien came to Earth, they'd want to snowmobile!

 

Yamaha Snowmobile Gloves

 

Kids Yamaha Snowmobile Gloves

1. Yamaha Snowmobile Gloves (Kids)

The Helix Gauntlet Gloves are perfect for kids who are always asking “Do you want to build a snowman?” The durable nylon shell, Thinsulate insulation and polar fleece lining will keep hands warm and the wrist strap adjuster and storm cuff will keep out snow, so they can build snowmen to their hearts content.

Made of a HIPORA® waterproof, windproof, breathable membrane and 3M Thinsulate Insulation hands will be kept warm and dry all day long. One of the best features of these mittens is the zipper pocket on the back of the hand meant to hold a heating pack. Available in adult sizes XS-XL.  

 

Men's Yamaha Snowmobile Gloves

3. Yamaha Snowmobile Gloves (Men)

There’s no way that gloves can look cool and be functional, right? The Leather Gauntlet Gloves prove that statement wrong.

Tech Tips: May 2015

Did you know that you will lose 2-5lbs of tire pressure during the winter storage months?

If you ride (or have a loved one that does), please remember to check your tire pressure before you hit the open road. Under-inflated tires can be dangerous for you and your passenger. We use and recommend a mini air compressor from Slime to stay as safe as possible the entire season. 

We're offering them for only $42.95 until 5/31/15.
