Which muffs for Xmax 300 (2024 Tech Max)?

[Waldorf]

It must depend on which muffs one has.
The Givi ones I have don't close when one takes one's hands out.
The scenario described hasn't occurred for me in many years of using them.

A mate is selling is 7 year old Xmax, so gave me his old muffs. They are 363 like. Doddle to fit with Velcro and cable ties. They’re old, but work.
Pros:
- easy to fit
- have a clear plastic window to see switch gear

Cons:
- big
- a little annoying when I’m moving the bike around

I can see that in the winter they will be excellent, especially at keeping my hands dry.

Re the barkbusters- how good are they when it’s really cold and wet? I only want one pair of light gloves.

As to the accident risk cited above, I get your point, but if I was that risk averse I’d stick to the car.

I'd be worried about getting the hands back in / getting the right switch. I have a pair of something like these for when it's really wet / cold as I don't have handguards on my Tmax, and wet gloves = the feeling of wet hands: https://spadaclothing.com/collections/o ... ipa8GjbEhg

Getting hand back in? It does take a little getting used to, but its not hard. The muffs opening is normally designed to be pretty rigid, so its not hard. Remembering where your switches is can be more tricky!!

Quite so.

Quick Update on the Barkbusters, put them back on this week as winter has arrived suddenly

Took the scoot to Saint-Étienne yesterday for thé driven pulley recall. It was 8°C and raining

The Barkbusters kept my hands bone dry and nicely warm, the OEM heated grips are not very good but with the help of the muffs they actually get hot enough now.

Haven’t used any spacers on the end of the bars this time as I have a Shad lock on and I didn’t have a long enough screw.

They actually fit better around the brake and clutch reservoirs without spacers and leave plenty of room for my hands.

Excellent!
