Bar Mitts Cold Weather Mountain/Commuter Bike Neoprene Handlebar Mittens

Product Information

I’ve struggled with neuropathy and Raynaud’s symptoms for years and the Bar Mitts shield allowed me to ride in freezing temperatures without pain, numbness or post-ride tears. Rad Power Bikes provides helpful online resources to assist you in this process, including in-depth videos and an extensive digital Help Center . Made of 5mm thick neoprene, the cornucopia-shaped pogies slide over the bar ends, enclosing the brake levers and hoods, and attach to your bars using an integrated velcro strap. Attaches to drop handlebars to block out wind and keep the hands warm even when riding at speed in low temperatures. A Rad Power Bikes Mobile Service Ambassador will build, tune, and accessorize your new ebike before delivering it directly to your door.

Originally created in 1974 by a kayaker named Billy Nutt to stay warm while boating, pogies look roughly like T-shaped pouches, each with a large opening for the wrist and smaller openings on either side of the fist for each end of a kayak paddle.

The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. 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.

Used to use these in winter back when I was despatch riding, and I can confirm that they really do keep your hands warm.

Some riders wear thick winter gloves but another option is to fix a set of bar muffs to your scooter. These are waterproof and wind-resistant neoprene pogies that attach simply to your handlebars via three Velcro straps. I say rough, because, well, this was rapid prototyping – so there wasn’t a lot of measurement or pinning done initially – just cut and go. 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.

Your new ebike will be delivered directly to your door by the parcel service (FedEx, Purolator, etc.

And you might even make fun of your ski-glove-wearing friends for standing around with their hands in their armpits. Cold weather, waterproof and windproof handlebar mittens to keep hands warm and comfortable in the cold, rain, snow and wind.

With a wide opening to accommodate your coat sleeves, you’ll be able to place your hands in and out at a moment’s notice. Inside the Bar Mitts, I had started out with mid-level gloves — ones I usually wear in 40- to 55-degree weather. 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. 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.

But once you’re riding in freezing temperatures with warm hands, you’ll be way less worried about how they look. 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.
