My Powermadds worked well .. In temps 25 - 30 degrees my hands felt like they were in an oven .. Have heated grips and battery heated gloves .. Will keep me riding longer and is a great cheap investment .. Simple to put on .. |

Mnrider where did you go to get your hand warmer sleeves? All the ones I check out at the store are really long. I just need a short set like yours. |

Sweet they are:
Moose Racing Official NRA ATV Insulated Hand Warmers
You can get them on ebay. 29.96, 6.99 S&H.

They are actually kinda hard to find right now. Many store are out of them.
Has anyone tried, or have any opinion on the Kolpin's? Think they are big enough to go over the stock Uly hand guards?

I just got some like that the other day. First thing I noticed was that they won't work with a mirror that is mounted to the controls. No problem, they can be modified and for $11.99 at Bi-Mart, a super deal. My Glide-a-Bego has fairing mounted mirrors and they slipped right on. Yesterday was my first ride with them on. I pushed the bike out of the garage, turned on the switch and hit the horn. There are like 11 buttons on the Glide. After the signals were blinking, cb radio going and tooting the horn again - still without finding the starter button, I removed them and stashed them in the saddlebag.
I will give it another try sometime. Maybe.
There may be an issue with getting my hand back inside once removed while underway. These things could be dangerous! |

Panhead,
These ones? Found at Bi-Mart for 14.99. They do look floppy, the Kolpin's look shorter, and a little more stiff.

I bought some QuadBoss gauntlets/mitts last year but just got to putting them on yesterday. I went out at about 36 deg F and I couldn't believe how great they were were! I had my Poly Grips on very low and they were great. It helps to keep the cold air of your lower arms which is a great help. Getting yours hands in and out is very easy the turn signal is a little tricky but workable.
I was able to get a super deal last year at this place and they're on sale now.

They don't fit like that pic shows on the bike. Not only do they come up your fore arms less but there is a rear view mirror or two.
A friend of mine sews. He's got a recipe that makes them fit real good for a wide range of bikes.

Those are Moose Brothers ATV handlebar gauntlets from denniskirk.com.
They fit over the hand guards tightly so you have to pull a few threads out of the seam to get them to fit but they work good. |
