Placed an order for a size small the other night for my 13 Renegade.  Thinking I will be getting a second set for my older machine once I evaluate the aggressive style and fit test both machines.  My older sled is not listed on your site, but there are similar machines.  I assume that the small size would be correct for a 98 Indy 500 Trail. 

 

Does that sound right?

Hi Gothon thanks for the order,I have received 2 orders lately for aggressive I believe you are Brian from WI, yes that sounds right unless you have added extension hooks to the straight grips, the trail and aggressive will fit the same the only difference is the hand coverage, if you have any other questions let me know.

Great product !!! Have run these on all my sleds and my hand stay warm and wind free even on the coldest of days.

Just put mine on here. -4 in the garage so they are a bit stiff to work with even though I just brought them out from the house.

I seem to be having a time getting a snug fit with the grab bar and brake fluid reservoir. Tried several adjustments but it seems to loosen up all the same.

What are you guys doing for them? Photos might help.

Well just tried the ziptie suggestion I saw from someone else in another board. Headed out for a night ride in an hour so will be testing them in some near zero windchill tonight. They seem to move around a bit so this might secure them. I would try the friction tape that comes with it but it has been too cold to try to apply it. The upper/lower velcro straps run right into the grab bar is the problem so I was trying to move them in different positions to get a tighter fit. Have not used the grab bar yet so if it was removed there would be no issue. Not sure if I am the aggressive type of rider that needs grab bar. All my friends say I will need it but have not run into a reason yet.

Thanks and will let you know.

Most hand grips have a small hole in the end. Is it possible to put a small plastic automotive pin through the cold guards and insert pin in the hole ?

Yes it is possible as a matter of fact several have already done this with some success, I don't set coldguards up with this method for several reasons: different grip end locations and types, harder to put on and take off, damage to grip end with frequent on-off application, possible material fraying at pin location, if you do decide to use a pin I suggest a small hole and with a little heat seal the edge of material, a simple cigarette lighter would work but not much heat as the material will burn.

I had just ordered my second set for my kids 2018 Yamaha Snoscoot. 

 

I had ordered the first set for my wife's 2019 Grand Touring Limited as she gets cold hands and it was not until I had realized that while her palms stay warm from the grips, it is the back of her hands that would always be cold.  Even with the  big windscreen, that cold/wind still gets around and gets her hands cold. 

 

I had realized that Cold Guards would be very helpful as she did not want gauntlets and neither did I.  She didn't get to use them at the end of last season as COVID came and the snow had melted once mid-March came anyway.

 

My kids have not complained about cold hands while riding their Snoscoot but, I wanted to make sure it would not be an issue and had ordered a set for the kids machine.  Mark had called me as I did put down what machine it would be for and he was able to make a smaller set that fit perfectly on the Snoscoot as the bigger set would work but would have been really big and both out of place and floppy.  

 

The blue piping does match the snowmobile and the guards look a lot better than the mis-matched flag-style dirtbike guards I had installed on the handlebar where at least some plastic blocking the wind was/is better than nothing but the Cold Guards really are the solution as I will be expecting to do more riding with the family and with the kids than last winter.
