These mitts are well made. I like the fact that they have small pockets on the inside for the hand warmer pouches for a little extra warmth. They fit over the handle bars of my 2010 Ninja 250R just fine. There is enough room inside for a light glove. No heavy winter gloves are needed. They do a good job stopping the wind. The one problem I have with them is it pushes on my front brake lever just enough to apply the brake slightly when riding at 30 mph and above. A change in the sensitivity of the lever will probably fix this problem. In all they make winter riding here in CT significantly more tolerable.I thought this would be great, it looks good, feels soft and should be warm inside, but in order to attach to my Honda 300 Fourtrax with regular tubing handlebars, I can just barely get the velcro to close, at an awkward looking angle, and still there is a gap that lets air in the front. If that was it I would be fine with them, but where they make a right angle is right where my throttle is, tight fit, almost too tight to use with gloves which I need since the air comes through it as mentioned above. Then I find ice in between the supposed waterproof layer and the inner liner, so they got even colder, even though I have been careful to close them to keep snow from blowing into them, but in doing so, (not roughly) a tear developed on one side along the seam on the shell right near the hand entrance, after the ice developed inside.I live in New York City and i ride all year round.I've rode in temps below 20deg and my hands were the only thing that would hurt after a ride.I bought these mitts as a test,they went on easy and had enough room to wear with winter gloves without the worry of getting "trapped" in case of an emergency.You can slip your hands in and out easily and have full feel of controls.They worked great on those cold days,ultimately I switched to electric gloves.These are a good choice if you don't want to spend the money for electric.I bought these for my 4-wheeler trip to the mountains in Tennessee a couple weeks ago. The temperatures in the morning and evening were around the low 30's to upper 20's. They worked great in keeping my hands dry and warm. I only wore thin gloves to keep my hands from getting sore. It took just a little bit of riding to get used to them. They cover my hands and arms halfway to my elbows. They also have a pouch inside to put hand warmers in which I didn't even need that at all. They were very easy to install and kept water and wind completely off of my hands. They have plenty of room on the inside to use all of the hand controls such as braking and shifting. My ATV has electronic shift on the handlebars and these worked great.Bought two pairs of these for our ATV's and now have warm hands. Rode for about 5 hours last week in 38 degree weather and they blocked the wind and kept the hands warm. They don't seal up tight around the handlebar as the velcro wraps at the front will only close down to a certain size which is larger than the handlebar. However they did cut the air low and keep the hands much warmer. Good value for the price.I wish these were bigger. I was looking for something like this to use on my Honda Goldwing Motorcycle as I have heated grips and the best way to use them is as little material between the grips and your hands. The problem is they simply aren't big enough for my application. They make the brake and clutch levers activate. With a bare hand or thin snug glove they are easy to get in and out of. They are durable and warm.I bought these mitts for winter biking in Fairbanks, AK. They keep my hands warm at -25F. I only need to wear light gloves inside to stay warm. They are a little restrictive for the brakes and shifters. If your bike has grip shifters, these would be fine. Good quality construction.I got these for my mom for Christmas. We live in Oregon and it rains a lot and is pretty cold during the winter time. I've ridden the 4-wheeler when it's in the 30's before and it is really cold and hurts your hands. Well even with big bulky gloves on your hands still freeze off. So I got this for her and she has only used it a couple times and so far has had nothing but great things to say about it. :)
