Just starting to get my new to me quad out on the ice. Wow what a difference maker! No more hauling by hand for me! Today I was cruising around exploring some new area and my thumb was freezing. Was wearing some very nice 2 layer gloves that retail for $80 (paid $15 in the bargain cave). What gloves do u guys use to keep your hands warm while riding?

Idk why i didn’t think of that. Hand warmer pouches should do the trick. Thanks!

I don’t own these but they do make ATV/motorcycle mitts that attach to the handle bars…seems like they’d work pretty good.
Walleyeguy34Posts: 159January 9, 2021 at 11:08 am #2004443I once got some pretty bad frostbite on my thumb from a long atv ride on the ice and was wearing what I thought were good gloves. After that point I decided to invest in hand warmers s for the thumb throttle and grips. Also installed a windshield. Hands have never been cold since then but I’ve also been a lot more careful about keeping them warm…
B-manPosts: 5356January 9, 2021 at 11:10 am #2004444Get some Kolpin ATV handlebar mitts
A windshield is also a must for winter riding
January 9, 2021 at 2:58 pm #2004495I have grip and throttle warmers as well as a full windshield with hand guards. I typically just wear the fast fit mechanics gloves unless its bitterly cold.
Red EyePosts: 889January 10, 2021 at 7:58 am #2004574I have hand and thumb warmers on wheeler. Along with the handlebar mitts my hands never get cold. Quite the opposite actually. I don’t wear any gloves when riding across lake and hands actually get to hot. To the point once the grips warm up I have to turn them off for a while till they cool down. Will never own a wheeler without them
January 10, 2021 at 10:28 am #2004601I bought some handlebar mits a couple years ago. They helped, but nothing will do you better than grip and throttle (thumb lever) warmer.

I have a several mile ride to my hunting spot, much of it going 30+ mph on roads. I can wear my regular bowhunting gloves under the mitts and stay warm. For Ice fishing I don’t even wear gloves.

January 10, 2021 at 12:37 pm #2004634Hand and thumb warmers. I bought mine for like 90 bucks. And they are awesome. Other wise it doesn’t matter what gloves I wear my thumb will freeze
January 10, 2021 at 2:42 pm #2004665Beaver lined chopper mits. Like wearing a furnace on your hands
I also have the muddy water waterfowl gloves. They have a hand warmer pocket on the top. Love them
