Whatever brand you go with I strongly suggest getting a breathable surf top.
In spring/fall you can layer underneath. Then in summer just a tee shirt underneath and you won’t sweat a lot like in non breathable tops.
How did you make out? My old Toro two stage is on it's last legs was thinking of getting a single stage Toro. Have heard good things about them just not sure if can handle heavy wet snow.
Have they even decided if can be repaired or needs replacement yet?
If replacement that is going to suck, basically doubles commute time during rush hour.
