I didn't realize the LE came with Polaris hand guards

Nice truck/sled combo you have there. Wishing my SuperDuty was white now

Do you mean THAT particular make of handguard, or handguards in general?

Scott,
Last year I added the stock, Polaris plastic hand guards to mine when I picked it up and they broke at the first moderate contact with some thumb-thick willows. I wanted them for wind deflection mostly as I often ride at -20, but I expected them to far more durable then they were.

A friend has the Skinz soft guards that velcro on/off when needed. Kind of a half gauntlet. Perfect for where/how I ride. I'm picking up a pair.

Thanks. That truck is ten years old, mint condition. 80k miles.

Your exactly right. The Skinz guards work very well, the other ones don't do anything to keep your hands warm. And yes, they will break.
