Just a heads up re: gloves............
My husband is Dobir , we both were convinced at the calgary snowmobile show to buy True North ..........Never again!~!
Dobir just spent the last week with frozen hands, even when starting the day riding up the trail, they were wet almost immediately and never did a thing to keep your hands warm!! Both my boys ride and have Klim gloves , have never complained about cold hands even when gloves are wet at the end of a long day of diggin out !! Stick with the best and buy KLIM!!!! Speaking from experience!!

i put hand guards on my sled, get the polaris billet mounts, they swivel in every direction to fit almost any kind of bar and powermadd handguards becuase they have a vent when you remove a piece of plastic for warm days, i would also recomend skinz hand guards, they will cover your hands better and you can remove them quick. The only thing was i didnt know if they would blow around or blow back when im trying to grab the brake but some one that has them probably will tell you they wont.

Quite messing around, get those "sleeves" that fit over the bars perfect for the trail up and take em off once in the hills.

I've tried thick gloves, multiple gloves, hand guards, putting em in my pants and farting before wearing them. the way to to is thin gloves and the "sleeves" for the trail up and down.( they fit over the bars and your hands fit inside).

I personally like the baffin boots they sell at marks. I wear no socks and my feet are still hot on the coldest days we have had this year.

i have the klim gloves some i think valdez (really thick) for trail riding and when i get to the icecream i put on my thin klim gloves, they are very very thin but warm as hell. they are around 90$ cadn but man best gloves. every once and a while spray with water prof spray because they do get wet in thick powder days, as does everything else..

I have exactly the same & they work amazing. You can still get them wet though and then you get cold. The best thing to do is carry 1 or 2 extra set of gloves.

I do the same with the handquards, use them for cold days and take em off when its warmer, huge difference on the hands. Also found a pair of Edco mitts that you can actually drive with, keep them with me .

i have the baffin boots and i think they are garbage the soles have chunks missing out of them and then when it gets real cold they are hard as rock and can hardly stand up on them. they are the coldest boots i have ever owned.

The best investment I made for keeping warm was smart wool socks, they were $20/pair. I forgot to dry my insoles of my old boots one time and the next day I put my feet in and I could feel the wetness right away. I thought for sure I was going to freeze my feet all day, but they warmed up when I started riding and I never noticed it the rest of the day.

I know there are alot of different baffin boots . I wear mine on roofs of buildings when I am sheeting it in the winter and they have never gotten hard. Mine are rated at - 100 . I have had mine for 4 years and have never replaced the liners and they are as good today as the day I bought them.

try polaris mounts, hand guard extensions and rsi handwarmers seeing you have powermadds already. they guards will be bigger and closer to your hands and the rsi handwarmers are designed for heating aluminum bars so they are very warm.

i have had enough with freezing my hands and not being able to hold onto the bars with the bigger warmer gloves. what would you recemend?

and in the market for boots?

Tabneil from Tachycardia Performance has some soft handle bar covers that i love to use. I like them because you can take them off whenever and they don't break if you crash! :) They are great for blocking the wind when you are trail riding....I have attached the link to a picture on our site.
