Ride all winter long with Bar Mitts
Pros
This mitts keep your hands warm easily in the low teen temps I have been riding in. I rode in cold weather with my winter gloves just under 30 degrees and after 45 mins I couldn't deal with the pain from cold fingers. I had seen someone with these mitts and reached out to them. I went online and ordered them.
What a difference. I can ride with hands outside, when they get cold, I slide them inside the Bar Mitts and they warm right back up. I have big hands so I have the large mitts. I can were my full finger gloves inside. They are a little snug but I can easily work the brakes and shifters. There is more room with my summer riding gloves. I highly recommend them if you want to ride all winter long.
Cons
None

Awesome Product, easy on and off.
Worth every penny
Pros
Easy to take on and off. Not having to wear thick gloves that get damp inside
Cons
None at all
Ideal bar mitts
Pros
Best bar mitts I've tried. Still doing the job after 5 winters. Easy to insert and remove gloved hands. Keep the wind off your hands.
Cons
Be careful in strong cross-winds as they hold a lot of wind.
BarMitts
Warm. Kept me riding in the winter.
Bar Mitts Are a Lifesaver
Pros
Warm. Keep my hands dry except in the worst prolonged rain. Easy to get in and out of for signaling. I buy large even though my hands are average. Easy to install. The ones with zips not only work with exterior cables, but also allow me to "vent" them if the weather warms up.
Cons
None other than prolonged rain will penetrate them.
Must have for winter cycling
Pros
Kept my hands toasty warm, even down to about -20C (with a pair of mitts on underneath). Kept the wind out, too.
Cons
Careful of the wind! These things are like sails if you get caught in a crosswind.
Other Thoughts
Highly recommended for winter (or even shoulder season) cycling!
Hand warmer
Pros
Keeps hands warmer
Cons
Not so warm that I don't wear heavy gloves
Other Thoughts
Runs a little small
Great and warm
Pros
Super warm, I can ride in temps well below freezing with just some typical biking cool weather gloves. They go on easy and come off easy, too, so when the temps jump up on random winter days you can just take em off in 30 seconds or less.
Cons
They look kinda dumb? They catch some air on cross breeze so careful if you ride around without hands a lot.
A must have for winter riders
Pros
Block the wind really well, keep your hands warm even when it's really cold out
Cons
Can be a little cumbersome to take off and on when commuting
Ride all year.
Pros
I have never had cold hands with Bar Mitts, even with temperatures down to zero F. and windy conditions. After my first winter with Bar Mitts, I bought a set for my commuter bike. They are the best investment I have ever made in winter rinding gear.
Cons
It will take some experience to get your hands quickly and easily back in your Bar Mitts when riding. I get a bit of fatigue in my hands from keeping them in the same position in the mitts, but even after having a hand out of the mitt for a while, it works well with having a warm spot to retreat from the cold.
