2879796 Black Universal Formed Handlebar Gauntlets RMK Indy Switchback

easy to install and they kept my hands warm.

These are well worth the money when the temps are in the single digits or lower. They don't collapse like some gauntlets I've used in the past so your gloves will slide back in without too much trouble. One drawback is the mounting system. There are external straps which work fairly well to keep the gauntlets oriented correctly, but the main positioning anchor is a velcro pad with a barbed stem that you poke into the hole in the end of each hand grip. That velcro pad helps keep the gauntlet from flopping around. Unfortunately, the barbed stem for the velcro pad is not very sturdy. I've already broken one off when I had to remove my gauntlets. (I didn't want to leave them on while my sled was stored outside at my dealer waiting for scheduled service.) To make matters worse, it seems Polaris does not offer this item separately. I've searched the Polaris site and followed other Google leads and it appears you have to buy another set of gauntlets to get a mounting pad. Refer to the attached screenshot of the installation instructions and you'll see no Polaris part number for the velcro pad. To get around this, I drilled out the center of the broken velcro pad and put a #6 x 1" pan-head stainless screw through it. I then screwed that into a small plastic wall anchor, heated the hand grip with a hair dryer, and poked it through the hand grip hole. Hopefully it will last.

We put these on my wife’s new Titan & she loves them. We like the side panel design where you slide them in a side pocket so they keep the gauntlet open so handle grips are easily accessible. The one downfall was that one of the Velcro pins that fit into a hole in the end of the handle bar grip broke off immediately which I noted others have stated & I can’t find a replacement.

Took an epic snowmobile ride in northern Maine. It was often zero or slightly below. We could not have completed this trip without these gauntlets.

These hand covers do keep your hands warm in cold weather. The only thing everyone needs to be careful with are the inserts that go into the end of the handlebars. it is a plastic insert that pushes into the end of the bars that keep the cover in one place. Mine broke.

I added these to my 2021 Honda Rebel 500. They’re meant for a snowmobile or whatever it is called but I was able to rig them to fit on a motorcycle. Blocks the wind well so the glove inside isn’t being directly hit by wind. At 70 miles an hour at 40 degrees, they still held up well.

If you like riding with gloves and not mittens, this works great.

I have a Polaris Adventure and the left hand one doesn’t fit as well as the right. It is because of the brake handle and handlebar buttons. It has Velcro pieces that help keep them open. Those pieces can break easily. Like I said, ok but not great.
