Bar Mitts Cold Weather Mountain/Commuter Bike Neoprene Handlebar Mittens

Product Information

This rough weather accessory has been custom-designed to fit our handlebars and can be easily locked in with included bar plugs. Some riders wear thick winter gloves but another option is to fix a set of bar muffs to your scooter. Because the Bar Mitts provide such stellar protection, you'll be able to use thinner gloves underneath for optimal dexterity for operating the brakes and shifters. All in all, I was thoroughly impressed with the warmth and shelter the Bar Mitts provide and looks be damned, these will surely become a staple for many winter rides to come. A Rad Power Bikes Mobile Service Ambassador will build, tune, and accessorize your new ebike before delivering it directly to your door.

Interesting about the neoprene Tucano's - could you please post a picture or a link to the specific ones you are using? Bar Mitts Road Pogie Handlebar Mittens: Internally Routed A neoprene pogie designed to work with drop handlebar in which the brake/shifter cables are routed underneath the bar tape.tried heated gloves and bar warmers , but neither stop the wind and rain on the front of the hands . They go around the end of your bar for added protection, and there's a zipper to help fit them over your shifters and brake levers. The Bar Mitts, however, are more like neoprene pockets that fold over and enclose your brake levers and hoods, close around the bar using velcro yet keep an opening for easy hand insertion and removal. But I take back any side-eyeing I’ve ever done because they are indeed incredibly effective and I have now become a "pogie" user.

Tucked inside the Bar Mitts, protected from wind chill, my hands warmed up to the point where I could go gloveless — as long as we kept climbing and I kept my hands inside the mitts. Use them instead of your winter gloves or on top of them as extra protection for the coldest season of the year. Draugenklaw Drop-Bar Pogies keep hands warm and dry and allow for full use of brake and integrated shift levers on cold commutes, training rides, race days, and touring in uncertain weather. But once you’re acquainted, riding with pogies feels the same as riding with thicker gloves—except that your hands are warmer, and you have better dexterity.

And I have found that I really don’t like wearing thick gloves while riding – I just lose too much dexterity with a thicker glove. They help protect your hands from the elements while freeing up your fingers to operate the brakes, shifter, twist power assist, and control system. While the bike is 85 percent assembled before it leaves the factory, additional assembly is required prior to your first ride. I actually like my Bar Mitts so much that I have started to keep them on my bike for any rides under 45 degrees (much to the chagrin of my friends, family, and dog). I also attached a small 2″ or so section of flat webbing and velcro attachment points to close the end around the controls.

Constructed of 5mm neoprene, the Bar Mitts are waterproof and windproof for the ideal hand protection solution in cold, nasty weather - be it snow, rain, and/or wind.

The Mitts opening was large enough to quickly move my hands in and out for the various hike-a-bike and slide-down-on-your-butt sections we encountered. I created an instruction sheet, here: made PDF layout/instructions here, which can be used for reference.The large, reinforced opening provides easy access to handlebars, and the plush lining keeps your hands warm. Keep your hands toasty warm when travelling for prolonged periods, in bad weather, or during the cold winter commutes with a pair of handlebar muffs. As a result, there are some variables that are out of our control (like container shortages, port delays, and the Suez Canal incident). The dexterity required to control your bike is impaired through windchill and the resulting decreased blood-flow in your hands. Stays secure on the handlebars while the stiff, open body of the neoprene allows for easy hand access and removal.
