Do you think you could use these on a snowmobile? My husband grooms ski trails and wants a pair for that, he does not go fast and needs to wear a hat. Wants to use when cutting wood with chain saw, weed whacking, lawn mowing.

The antenna curves in close to the headband. He could wear a really loose hat or a hood and they would be outstanding for that. I wear mine snow blowing and they keep my ears warm without a hat in above zero temps. Below zero I'll wear a hood if necessary. I love these. The reception is really outstanding and they are the most comfortable that I've owned of six different types.

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

I used them just for riding my motorcycle. I used them and nice pair of leather gloves. I repurchased just to have them again. I live in Oklahoma and was a 12month rider. As my circulation has changed in cold my fingers are ice my hands. They are an integral part of my cold weather gear. I hope I helped. I seen the other responses. I wonder what went wrong. I was extremely impressed with them.

He does not say what snow blower he is trying to put it on .They work on mtd the best. NO PROBLEM IF THE LEADING edge is gone. You might need a new scraper bar if the edge is gone.

Melissa- yes, these are life savers. I have both the elbow and knee guards in this brand and won't ride without them. I would think if they are good enough for mountain biking falls, they'd be excellent for ice skating, yet low profile enough for wearing under jeans, long pants etc.. (as skateboarders, snowboarders, and bmx riders like to wear underneath. I've wiped out a couple times wearing them and came out totally ding/pain free both times. The padding works very well. I also have the Fox knee guards for more extreme / aggressive downhill riding, but they are bulkier with a hard knee cap protector and more padding on the sides (can't wear them under jeans, only outside). Both have great motion range BTW. Both the Fox and these Triple Eights, you hardly know they are on, they are that comfortable. Not restrictive at all, and safe.

I haven't tried them for trail running. I fish a lot from shore and tried them on slippery rocks, they worked fine but didn't hold the abuse. the chain broke away from the rubber holes. I don't recommend them if you're going to put them under a lot of stress. they might work just fine to walk from house to car or from parking lot to store.

They would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

If you clip them on your leg good and arent too wild you should be ok. I use mine for skiing and have no problems.

They work great for that, I often listen to audio books and lectures while on the trail. Keep in mind that they as desgined allow background noise in. Perfect for riding or running not so much for listing to an audio book/lecture when you need completeconcentration on what is being said

I believe they're rated at 700 pounds per pair. Knowing the weight of your snowmobile should provide the answer.

The person who told me about them is a runner. I love them and/but they occasionally slip off/need to be adjusted if very sticky ice/snow so they're highly recommended AND be cautious!

Yes, they could be used while mowing, but they do not muffle outside noise.The headphones are absoutely great though...music never sounded so great.

I'm assuming you mean loose powdery snow over ice - I don't think they'd work well at all. The little plastic "teeth" are designed to dig into packed snow, and I don't think they would work at all on ice. You'd need metal teeth to grip a sheet of ice.

If you can manage to keep them on the dog then yes they work well in snow. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to keep them on the dog to benefit from these :(

I would not think they would hold up for running. I only used them for walking and snowblowing the drive. They broke after one season. Worked really well-but I will not pay that much for such a short span of time again.

I have yet to use these in Snow. I have used them on frozen ground and frozen mud, they worked fine. Ice is a challenge for any tire on any vehicle. You need chains for ice.

My husband is on the road to Montana to snowmobile with them right now- I called him and he said. "Yes". He's had other brands, but tried these out before he left and they were very clear.
