Bar Mitts Great for Winter Riding
Pros
Big. Warm. With cuffs on they are good to below 0 F.
You can ride with half-gloves down to below 20 F and preserve feel. I wear a little longer glove but still have open fingertips when it's colder.
You can store stuff in them, like a phone or an energy bar.
I have these on a fatbike optimized for snow riding and LOVE them. They are THE key to making winter riding enjoyable.
Cons
They are so big they slow you down into the wind. In a stiff crosswind, they affect stability and make your steering response slower. I am not exaggerating, but if I wanted to be faster I'd be on a different bike!
Other Thoughts
I would buy again, for sure.
Cozy hands
Pros
Great fit on the handlebars, great for blocking cold and wet, fairly sleek design without too much wind-catching.
Cons
Can be tricky to move well-mittened hands in and out of the mitts, especially while biking.
Awesome-- enough said
Pros
Bar mitts work awesome--almost too well. With a thin pair of gloves my hands are nice and warm. Highly recommended!
Cons
None
