KIMPEX Snowmobile Muff with Window test

This season, I had the chance to try the KIMPEX Snowmobile Muff with Window. I have been using muff for many years and was eager to see the advantages of this model over mine.

Even if our snowmobiles are equipped with heated handles, my hands invariably get cold sometimes. In extreme cold, it is even more frequent. Moisture eventually gets into our gloves and we feel discomfort.

In the past years, on cold days, I used to wear an old muff kit bought several years ago with not such good results. Indeed, I was no longer cold in my hands, but certain inconveniences made that finally, I preferred not to put them on.

The first major disadvantage is that once in place you no longer see the controls on the handles. As a test pilot, I often change snowmobiles and the controls are in different places. It is then difficult to locate them under the muffs.

With KIMPEX Snowmobile Muff with Window, the top is made of transparent material that allows us to clearly see all controls and reach them without any problem. It's very effective. A problem solved.

The second disadvantage of my old muffs is that it is difficult to put your hand inside. They are soft and we have to work hard to get our hands in, especially while driving. With KIMPEX Snowmobile Muff with Window, I no longer have this problem. They keep their shape at all times thanks to a very rigid inner ring. Another point settled.

Finally, because of the large opening, my old muffs let a lot of snow in. KIMPEX Snowmobile Muff with Window is equipped with a neoprene lining that adjusts perfectly to your forearm. Snow and wind cannot enter. Leaving only the heat inside. One last point settled!

They are also very easy to install and to remove. Just insert the handlebar into the opening and tighten the cord. We tested them on a few snowmobile models with or without hand guards and the installation was not a problem. On models with hand guards, sometimes a little pressure can be put on the heating handle controls.
