I am looking at the skinz handguards as an option. Does anyone run them and how do you like them if so? What model do you run? any preference?

I have actually been removing all hard style hand guards on our sleds and going with the soft Skinz pro series handguards. Every time a sled was rolled the hard style hand guards generally broke. We use the pro series and find them great as they are easy to put on and take off and stow away once you get up to the alpine.
I prefered to run the plastic ones over these, but they are very nice. I have a set of black ones that I will sell for $30 plus shipping if you are interested. Never even ran on the sled. Pm me if you are interested.
I have the velcro on ones and they are only put on for extremely cold trail rides to the good riding and then they come off as I don't like the encumbrance.
Are those the larger trail series or the smaller pro series?
I've got the trail series and really like them. I thought that I would take them off when i got up to the hills and trees but ended up leaving them on all the time. I tested them out on the deepest ride of the season last year and they didn't affect my mountain riding at all.
I just leave mine on all the time as well, I don't notice them in my way at all.
