Tomorrow I’ll be sure to wear my beaver fur mittens over my regular gloves for the quad ride.

Heated hand grips, wind deflectors/windshield and gauntlets.

Wind chill is very real.

Notice my hat and mittens in this photo. Work very well on machine up to a point. If you are out for long time it is still nice to have the heated grips and wind screens. I do not have them on my machine but have rode my sisters machine which does. There is room in my mittens for the little hot hand bags if I want to use them. I also wear light poly liner glove.

Smash, you can't go wrong with heated grips on an ATV.

And they're not very expensive.

the kids were complaining how cold it was yesterday when it dropped about 10 degrees in an hour from 30 with no wind to 20 with a howling wind.

in the summer it's not the heat it's the humidity

in the winter , it's not the cold it's the wind chill

blows any heat you do make right away from you

in the summer the humidity keeps your natural cooling from sweat from working.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

You guys are spoiled. I watch the weather in Rapid City. One day they get a foot of snow. The next day it's 60 degrees and it's all gone.
As I've often said, if we weren't so old we'd move to SD. Great place to live. Some friends of ours moved out there 3 years ago, they love it and wish they had done it sooner.

My snowmobile had hand and thumb warmers which was nice.

I agree smash. Just sent a couple of beaver to Moyles. Got plans of getting some mitts made before next winter arrive. I have a couple of fingers that really get sore when they get cold.

50 here yesterday and a blizzard today heading for the single digits. Rapid City is the banana belt of our multiple weather patterns some areas are harsher than others,

We like to take the quad into the mountains and I don’t think a side by side could take us to some of the cool outta the way places we have discovered

I’m amazed how stable they are but that’s a down payment on a real truck what they get for them things.
