Made for ATVs, I bought them on a reccomendation of a friend.

Used them twice since coming back up to Montana.

They slip over the grips and give a lot of room for control clearance.


Pro:

Kept my hands warm during my hour long 40 degree ride today

About $18 for the pair

comes in black


Con:

neet some kind of frame if speeds exceed 45 mph, as the soft material pushs back agains brake lever and clutch lever, although it doesn't engage either.


I think a lot of riders could use these if they leave for a days ride early, as it can get quite chilly in the bay area, especially during the winter.

can you pull your hand out of it or off the handle bars quickly? or even reasonably easy?


i don't like keeping my two hands on the bars for an entire trip... gotta stretch sometime

If you are traveling highway speed it is a bit problematic to get them back in. But I am going to experiment with a wire frame of some kind.

At lower speeds pulling in and out is no problem.:teeth

These are very popular among London commuters, who know a thing or two about riding in crappy weather.

I remember seeing a similar product everywhere in Seoul. Even though the main streets was like 14 lanes across, motorcycles still liked to ride on the sidewalks out there.

Hmmm....look like a dork, or get a bike with a fairing and heated grips, and some nice gloves...decisions, decisions. :p
