    I assume you are referring to the Kimpex versions......reading this thread and the thought of me buying the DOO ones the last few years, but not actually doing it, I decided to search again this year and found these:

     

    https://www.kimpex.com/en-ca/products/snowmobile/steering-and-controls/handguards/kimpex-snowmobile-muff-with-window

     

    The DOO ones are over $200.00, if I am not mistaken vs. these that are less than $100.00.

    I just went to ORPS this morning and bought a pair (FYI...they have more on the shelf).

    They look good, have not tried them on the sled yet, will do that in the next few weeks, if they work as I expect they will, I will invest in a pair of light winter gloves to use and carry my usual Klim gloves with me on rides.

     

    They look similar to the ones I bought.  See page 286 in the Royal catalogue. They are 49.99.  They seem to fit well but I have not had a chance to try them yet.

  2. They are similar to the Doo ones, but a bit different in shape.  IrREVerent and I tried his Doo ones on my sled and they wouldn't fit very well.  I can't remember the exact problem, but we both concluded that they were a fail.  The pictures of these on Royal's site look like they are on a Vector or Apex and they fit over the brake and control block nicely.

  3. After freezing my fingers a few years ago, my hands have never been the same.  I have tried various gloves with limited success.  Last year, I decided to use my Choko muffs full time with lighter gloves.  My hands were warm all year and the handwarmers seemed to work so much better with the lighter gloves.

     

    The main problem that I had with the muffs was that I could not find the other controls (dimmer, heater controls, etc) quick enough.  This year, I found a new set from Royal with 'windows' to see the controls.  These have an 'anchoring' ring that fits over the end of the bar to keep the opening an easy target to get my hands in after signalling.  Looking forward to trying them this season.
