Which handguards to buy?

[Hoosier]

I'm thinking about getting some handguards for wind protection for my hands. I have a Fusion 600 and I find my hands are cold more often than on my edge chassis. My gloves are Klim Klimates so I don't think that's the issue. It's either handguards or try a bigger windshield. So I'm thinking about the handguards. Which ones should I buy? I think I've seen some at sledsolutions.com, but they all seem the same in catalogs.

I put a set of PowerMadd Star series guards on my F7 years ago and had pretty good luck with them. A nice feature is the extension to make them bigger if you need the added protection.

What ever ones you think look the coolest! haha i have arctic cat ones on my sled, but really like the look of the new cat ones. i think they do keep your hands quite a bit warmer.

Skinz Heat-Loc Handguards

I bought these at the Mil. Snow show. I have not tried them, but easy to put on and take off, and won't break off if you brush a tree or something. I have heard they are really good.

Hoosier,
I have a Fusion 600 also. I put the Polaris handguards on mine last year because of cold hands. It helped out only a little. I kept moving them around to see if that would help, but I would still get the wind on my hands. If I did it over again, I think I would start out with the Skinz handguards first. I just might be purchasing the Skinz for this year.

I use Moose (Hand Gaurds) Notice hand gaurd..I see in your post that you are interested in only blocking the wind however..
If you ride off trail at all or are interested in protecting your hands from a pretty good bash .. I would buy the Moose.
Not only they protect your hands from getting smashed you can pick your sled up by grabbing them..Plus your hand will not slide off the grip.
Several of my buddies use them and love them..They will cost you around $80 bucks but well worth it...Oh they also do a better job of blocking the wind than any other wind deflector deals I have ever seen..

Thanks. Pro series or trail series? Looks like they are removable...are they durable? Do you just use them when it's really cold or all the time? Will this be more effective than the tall windshield at keeping the hands warm?

I am not a big fan of how they look, but if they keep my hands warm, that's all I care about.

They look good to me. You can take them off with ease but I find myself using lighter gloves for better grip and leaving them on all of the time.
