Review on Bar Mitts Cold Weather Handlebar Mittens for Road Bicycles, Compatible with Campy/SRAM/Shimano Shifters and Internally Routed Cables by Corey Bigglesworth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They worked for me when nothing else worked.

I've started wearing heated hand warmers or heated gloves. I even bought a small portable USB hand warmer. This would work as a solution, but it would be a lot more work to coordinate if I had my hand on the heating pad and made sure everything was charged each morning. dive deeper. I drive about 30 miles every morning before sunrise and the temperature dropped to 20 degrees here. Even then they protected my hands from the cold of the wind. Before that, my combination of one ski glove on the left and three thinner gloves on the right to make the change easier meant that my hands froze after 20 minutes at most. Not now, full speed ahead without the agonizing cold and only in silk. Glove liners and my usual long-fingered riding gloves. It's awesome as your fingers move around the controls. Depending on the setup it is more difficult to get on the bars. I rarely use drops, more for pleasure, but I wouldn't even try using drops on these. Size wise I have a small but I wear medium sized gloves and ride a small giant road bike. I have no problem putting on and taking off gloves with my hands. I often switch between different modes on different fixtures, so it's important to have my right hand on and off to change settings or turn something off as conditions change.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • So far so good
