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

Ride for 28 years. Now I wonder how I ever did without them for winter riding. They are amazing. I used to think it was a gimmick, but I got tired of freezing my fingers, so I got a pair to try. They have literally eliminated every cold finger. At 33 degrees I only drove with normal summer gloves with short fingers. When the temperature drops below zero, I put on light gloves with long fingers. I have to be careful there too, otherwise my fingers will get hot. I liked them so much I ran away…

I bought cuffed mittens with internal cords. I drove to work this morning to try them out and they worked great. The temperature dropped to 1 degree Celsius (34 F). It gets cold here until -4. I wore a light merino liner with a thin windproof glove over it and was fine. I mostly wore thicker winter gloves and even then my fingers were numb and sore all day in this temperature. At the very beginning my hands were cool from the cold steering wheel and brake caps, but as my hands got warm I felt…

PRO: Every pair of gloves and mittens I've used failed to warm my fingers on faster 30 minute rides at higher speeds to keep. I almost gave up on cold rides until I tried bar mitts. For example, the temperature in Michigan today was around 40 degrees Fahrenheit with strong headwinds. I wanted to start my ride upwind - but I knew that with good gloves my fingers would go numb in a few minutes (I get cold quickly). But with gloves in bar mitts, my hands stayed very warm. When needed, I stretched…

I have been cycling seriously for 15 years and am looking for something better than just windproof gloves. Being located in the Bay Area of California, we are fortunate that temperatures only drop to 30 degrees Fahrenheit on the coldest evenings of the year, with most daytime temperatures hovering at least 50 degrees. They go perfectly with my summer riding gloves, even a little warm. With a little fiddling, they can be adjusted to sit a little lower on the handlebars, opening the tops up more…

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…

First the bad. This product allows you to ride on the hood throughout your journey. You have room for your hands horizontally on the bar, but then they're exposed to the elements and you only have a liner/glove for warmth. This works for short lifts, but then you need to warm up your hands with mittens. Okay, now to the good stuff. This product allows you to comfortably dive into the extreme cold areas where I'm used to freezing my hands with lobster and liner/shell gloves. I ride at 5 degrees…

My fingers are very, very cold. This is probably because I'm tall, thin, and have long fingers, which doesn't get enough blood flow to my fingers. I recently bought heated gloves that enclose the cold part, but the gloves themselves are thick and limit dexterity. So I happened to read reviews of these bar gloves where people were complaining about how sweaty their palms are even in almost freezing weather. I also saw a YouTube video of a guy who has been cycling pretty much every day for over…

Three rides in these gloves and while they aren't perfect they are a SIGNIFICANT improvement over gloves alone. I have very long thin fingers so it's almost impossible to find suitable gloves. Men's plus sizes are often too short on my fingers, too, but they're so big my hands just float in them - and all the volume tends to choke my circulation, which makes matters worse. Also, I have "problems" with cold fingers - when they get cold the blood just stops circulating or something, so no…
