The dexterity required to control your bike is impaired through windchill and the resulting decreased blood-flow in your hands. I am considering purchasing a pair of those handlebar mitts that I see some bikers have for the winter. 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.

The mittens remain upright and open so you can slide your hands in and out of them, and have space to shift and brake. However, if I wasn’t using electronic shifting, I don’t think the smalls would have enough space for a full shift lever movement. 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. Use them instead of your winter gloves or on top of them as extra protection for the coldest season of the year. We know how excited you are to get your new ebike and we are continually scaling up our operations to get it to you as soon as possible.I am very pleased with the results and the bar mitts are quite effective at blocking the wind and making cold rides much more enjoyable. Unlike most pogies, Bar Mitts do not cinch closed around the wrist, which makes me feel better about potentially disconnecting from my bike on rougher trails. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Sure we were always used to a fair bit of rain in the winter but freezing temperatures and snow are becoming an increasingly common occurrence.

The handle bar mits are water proof, insulated, and comes in sifferent models and colors, with all the safety features every riders looks for. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one.

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.
