No 1970′s/80′s childhood was complete without a snowmobile suit.
Elastic at the cuffs and both ankles. One-piece construction with a continuous zipper that ran from neck to the bottom of one leg. And a belt.
Well, a belt in only the most rudimentary sense. I recall it being nylon with the most goofy interlocking buckle—mirror S’s that somehow fit together. And once the suit was assembled, zipped up and belted, it was time for the mittens/gloves and boots. And wool ski-mask that you put on your head like a skully and then pulled down over your face—the better to trap the snot.
