Hey guys
TK 10589 here thinking about building a snowie. I got in contact with Bobamaker. Are they a good vendor or are there other better ones out there? And is snowie armor thick and unbearable in heat? Are there ways to keep cool easily when armoured up?
Cheers
Tom

Well tom, I'll tell you that I was born and raised in South Florida and I've been trooping for about 5 years in my snowtrooper. I can manage the heat!
Bobamaker's quality is top knotch, I can vouch for that with his other products I've been able to see first-hand. I have ordered T-visors from him in the past as well and never had an issue.

Welcome to the cold side of the Empire Tom. I live in the desert here in California and found the Snowie easy to troop in even in the heat. You'll love being a snow trooper. If there is any questions ya have just give a yell. We are here to help!

Hey guys thanks for the advice

I also looked at Moncal. Are they good? I heard they have long wait times though.

Woo another Aussie! What garrison are you in? I have bought from MonCal recently, the wait time is around 8 months however I have seen his gear first hand and it is top knotch.

Hey Tom, welcome! What Garrison are you from in Oz?
I am a deployed snowie in the Redbacks in Qld. Its hot, that's for sure, I have industrial strength fans in my helmet for a start.
Moncal is awesome armour, but yes quite a wait.

Welcome, Tom. My Moncal Snowie took 54 weeks from payment to delivery. I just received it last week. Cal said their lead times should be more accurate now, however, only time will tell...

Hey Darthsprinkles
I just ordered a new Mon Cal kit and the expected wait is 30 weeks.
Where are you based in Aus?
