Testimonials

Your Sleds Rock!

"I found both your 42" and 32" flat
sleds work exceptionally well for
recovering snowmobiles, especially
when you have to load alone!
As for hauling reindeer carcasses,
ditto. I like the look of you new designs
too, and expect I shall order a couple.
Durability is excellent and your sleds
outlast similar-priced fibreglass sleds
by 5-7 times. Talk about economical
and not to say, value! Keep producing!"

We enjoy hearing our clients' stories as much as we do
building sleds! Feel free to share your own stories and

"I am the Trail Coordinator for the one thousand-mile
Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race. I also put
in the trail for several other two- and three-hundred-
mile events. I have pulled sleds and skimmers of all
makes and types. Until I traveled with one of David
Doudna’s sleds, I was constantly rebuilding
equipment, or changing sleds to meet conditions.
Now all I need to think about is the trail ahead of me,
not whether my camp is still behind me!"

"...in various places from the Alaska Range to the Brooks
Range and from the Canadian border to Nome. I have used
many different sleds over the years, and the Siglin Sled has
been superior by far. Whether you haul heavy loads or a small
amount of gear, this sled outperforms the rest under any snow
conditions. The sleds are easy to fix with simple tools on the
rare occasion that something might break. The best things
about the Siglin Sled are its durability, light weight, and its
effortless pull across the snow. When traveling with a partner
or a large group, I will pull my Siglin Sled with me whether I
haul gear or not. If someone breaks down, simply tip their
machine on its side, slide the Siglin Sled underneath, put one or
two straps on to hold the machine to the sled, and tow it home!"
