Polaris 2014, A simply better gauntlet

In general Polaris has expanded many of their available storage accessories for 2014 and more storage choices are always a very good thing. A simple redesigned accessory for 2014 that caught my attention was Polaris’ new hand gauntlets. 
 
The new design includes an internal panel which gives the gauntlet a formed opening for ease of initial entry and safer “fumble free” re entries. One of the significant disadvantages of using gauntlets during extreme cold has always been the clumsy dangerous task of getting your hand back inside while going down the trail.

The improved design is simple, effective and interestingly universal. They are black and gray so they can easily coordinate with any model from any manufacturer. For the convenience of the riders of other brands who wish to experience the advantages of a better designed gantlet, the Polaris logo can be easily positioned to be at the bottom and out of sight. It’s not rocket science or revolutionary, but it is most definitely a better mouse trap. Check out PN 2879796

Greg Gilbert

Greg Gilbert

Greg's first snowmobile experience was in 1968 when his Grandfather purchased a new Ski-doo Nordic 371 package including dog sled as a surprise family gift. “Grampy” thought that the Gilbert's would enjoy the new sport of snowmobiling and he was right. Since that first ride as an 8-year-old, snowmobiling has provided Greg with one of the greatest pleasures of his life. The experiences, excitement, adrenaline, adventures, freedom, memories and friendships have relaxed and rejuvenated him throughout his life. From 1985 – 1996 Greg was an active member of the “Arrowhead Mountain Snowmobile Club” in his hometown of Milton Vermont, holding positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, trail coordinator and membership chairman. Greg has also been involved in all aspects of trail construction and grooming as well as regional and statewide involvement. Greg has ridden over 130,000 miles throughout Vermont, Maine and all regions of Quebec. His riding experiences have been predominantly throughout Quebec since his first introduction in 1984 averaging 4000-5000 Quebec miles over the past 25+ years. Throughout 35 years of Quebec snowmobiling Greg has had positive interactions with many members of various groups and organizations. Greg is often in a unique position of being a comfortable, non-threatening bridge to better mutual understanding and communication of how we can work together to strengthen and protect our sport. Over the years Greg became well known throughout Quebec as “Greg du Vermont”, before joining the SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca team in 2012 as a Columnist / Test Rider. Greg has written over 100 articles for SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca, attended manufacturers Snow Shoot and Sneak Peek media events beginning in 2012 and is frequently seen at snowmobile events in both the US and Canada. Greg brings a unique personal perspective and style to his articles and has been a positive ambassador of snowmobiling for over 35 years. He is known throughout his hometown as the guy who thinks and talks about winter all summer long.
