Bar Mitts Handle Bar Gloves for Shimano Handle Bars with External Cables and Shift Cables

My second pair of these, I have the Campag version too. I suffer from mild Reynaud's Syndrome and Bar Mitts are the solution to winter road rides. They act as mini-fairings to keep the wind off. I use the large size although I'm lightly built which allows easy hands on/off access to the bars. I'm not worried about a bit more cold air maybe coming back in through the larger opening. I can now wear much lighter gloves with a more dextrous feel on the controls than the huge, baggy ski-glove type winter riding gloves I used to use. Those bigger gloves were never enough on their own to keep my fingers warm in freezing conditions anyway, even with glove liners. The bar mitts only take 30 seconds each to pop on and off. They do basically limit your hands to one position only (on top of the hoods) but that's a minor complaint. I guess they're reasonably heavy being neoprene but if you suffer from cold hands you won't be worrying about a few extra grams in exchange for the comfort.

Really warm but a little tight. Worth putting up with for the comfort on a couple of freezing days. Note that it takes a little longer to take your hands off the bar which makes it harder to make signs if cycling in a group

Had some difficulty in use because of brake and gear systems retro fitted to handlebars. However keep hands warm. Thanks

Miss ordered...should have ordered mtb specific

really useful. makes hand signals trickier but great in cold / wet weather
