These things are great. For years I tried different types of gloves with no success in keeping the tips of my fingers from getting numb. I put a pair of these on my bike and haven't had that problem since.

Sure, they sell gloves with batteries or electric plugs that you can attach to your bike, but who needs that hassle, or expense.

My fingers might get a little cold, but nothing bad, you don't even need gloves under the mitts. I've ridden with them in temps of the mid 20's and was still comfortable. I will say, this is the first year I've had a fairing on a bike, but the problem has never been with the wind hitting my hands, more that the controls are freezing and the tips of my fingers getting that whitish color from holding on to them.

So I'm happy with this product. They saved me a bunch of money by not having to install electric hand grips or dealing with batteries or plugin cords.

The only downside of putting the mitts on a motorcycle is the mirrors and break or clutch reservoirs. It allows for a little air to seep in but again, nothing bad, you can plug the leak up easy enough with a little imagination, or you can remove the mirrors and install them through the mitts if you want a better seal.

3.0 out of 5 stars They keep your hands VERY warm, but...., November 18, 2010

...they don't work terribly well on a motorcycle. The "sheep skin" lining in them is VERY grippy, and has a tendency to hold onto your jacket/glove fabric. This makes putting your hands in and pulling your hands out pretty awkward. It's something you can get used to, but it's strange. They are also a bit tight around the "control area" of the handlebars (turn signal switches, starter button, etc), making it awkward to use those controls.

At highway speeds they also push themselves back against the brake and clutch levers, even with a fairing in place (I have a 08 Yamaha FZ1). They didn't seem to push back hard enough to cause drag, but it was hard enough to be quite noticeable.

With all that being said, they really do work. It was 40 degrees last night and my hands were literally sweating inside these (I was wearing perforated leather gauntlet gloves). I can only imagine how warm it would be inside the mitts if you used heated grips.

If you commute on back roads primarily, I would still recommend these mitts.

This is the first time I've seen a commercially available product for handlebar gloves. A couple of years ago I discovered that cold-weather motorcyclists would make these themselves, custom fit to their specific bike. So I got out the sewing machine and a random piece of fabric and made my own.

Now mine don't look nearly as good or nearly as insulated as these, but mine worked GREAT. With a combination of pogies, gloves and chemical hand warmers inside the gloves, you can easily ride in zero degree weather all day long. The pogies (of whatever brand you buy or make) are designed (imho) to keep the wind off your hands; which again, imho is what freezes your hands so quickly.

Use the pogies to keep the wind off. Use gloves and hand warmers to keep your hands warm.
