Hello I know there are many posts on this subject however I wanted to start a new one. I am looking to put hand and thumb warmers on my sp800 I want to know what people think of the (under the grip style) verses (in the grip style)?
Also which manufactures are more reliable and stand behind there product more than others? And I am looking for a set that really really works because my fingers have bad circulation and get cold very quickly?
Thanks for any advice::::::::::::::::::::::

 

All the hand and thumb warmers I have used on ATVs and sleds are uncomfortably hot when set at "High".

I use the "low" setting on snowmobile rides in combination with these



and cheap thin gloves for better grip of the bars. Even with the warmer on "Off" these hand guards work nice.

 

I was thinking of a pair of mitts also with the warmers the only thing is they would have to be big enough for accessorie options on the bars like a winch control, hand gaurds, etc,etc

 

I have used Hot Grips and Moose and some cheaper under the grip heaters! and thumb warmers.
Thumb warmers don't do much IMO they don't heat enough to help much.
Out of all the heated grips I like Hot Grips the best! They warm better than under grip heaters and cost less than Moose or Symtec winter packs.
Some prefer the under grip heaters so they can choose which grips they use, but I wear gloves while riding and hard/soft grips is not an issue with me.
As for being too hot, if its too warm for gloves my heaters would be off! Very cold weather and any grip isn't warm enough!
Hot Grips are built sturdier!

As for mitts, my buddy has them and they are warm! But he is always next to crashing when he trys to wipe his shield or any time he removes his hands while riding! Pain in the butt!

 

I have the Pure Polaris warmers and love them, i also ride sleds with hot grips and they are all nice. They all do their job and help out ALOT!

 

I was looking at the adhesive style from kimpex has a hi/low/off switch, one thing I like about them is the wattage
26.8 watts at 13.5 volts on HI
21.0 watts at 13.5 volts on LOW
I was told the winter pack made by symtec for cabelas is only 20 watts on HI also does the thumb warmer really make a difference?

I have thumb warmers on my atvs and my thumb is always cold!

 

RickCJ7 Im assuming they dont help then?

 

I have the Symtec hand/thumb warmers and they are awesome....5 heat settings for each and you can adjust the heat settings independently of eachother......For those who say the thumb warmers don't work, maybe you need to buy these......

How does the grip compound hold up over time? How long have you had them? Im really looking for a set that gets so hot that they almost would burn you, sounds strange but my fingers literally turn white when its cold and it takes them forever to thaw out so the hot heat will not bother me in the least....................................
