Review on ODIER Bike Handlebar Mitts - Winter Thermal Pogies Mittens for Cyclists to Keep Hands Warm (1 Pair) by Mike Brumfield

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost as Good as Bar Mittens

They're almost the same size as the Large Bar Mittens, which I think are just a hair bigger. See the attached photos for comparison - in the second photo I have placed Odiers and Bar Mitters on top of each other and vice versa. If you have a bike with thumb derailleurs it will be tight, but this is probably the best size. (Bargloves offer an XL size, but they're a lot larger - too big for most settings in my opinion.) The build quality of both (the stitching, etc.) seems great. The big advantage of bar mitts is the velcro on the inside for the end of the handlebars. If you have "bar ends" the strap works very well and keeps the handlebar gloves in place better. Personally, I chose bar mitts for this reason, but whichever brand you choose, I think you'll love the concept. This will be my 19th winter bike ride and after testing for the last few months I regret not buying a pair sooner!

Pros
