Why We Like The Road Pogie Handlebar Mittens
There's only so much layering you can do when temperatures dip below freezing. Too much, and shifts become sloppy, if existent at all, and braking near impossible — a terrifying endeavor on icy roads. The Road Pogie Handlebar Mittens act as an insulated den for your hands, so you can opt for more streamlined gloves underneath, and keep shifting and braking precise, without freezing your digits.

I have difficulty with keeping my hands warm. When I go skiing I need mittens when everyone else is wearing gloves. Even using heavy winter cycling gloves or "lobster" mittens I was not comfortable in temps below 40F. So this was my latest attempt to find comfort. Bingo! These really to work. It took about an hour of riding to get accustomed to them but they really are excellent. One thing. With them attached to the bike they catch the wind. You will get blown around a bit. Not a deal breaker but something to be aware of. Anyway, this has solved my Winter riding cold hands problem.

I did not believe these things were as warm as advertised until I tried them. I only use these for road rides below 30 F and wear my usual spring gloves (that would usually only be used for spring rides above 50 F). My coldest so far was 14 F and I used only a medium weight glove and still sweat slightly. No freezing fingers until I am warmed up any longer! A little tough to handle in brisk cross winds but not terrible. I wear a small/medium glove (7.5) and sized up to large for more room to place my hands in quickly. The larger gap had no effect on warmth. I can't imagine using the small. I have had them 3 seasons. Simple straightforward design in strong material with no durability issues at all as far as I can tell.
