ODIER Bike Handlebar Mitts Cyclist Pogies Mittens for Winter Thermal Cover for Handlebar Keep Hands Warm 1 Pair

These are nearly identical to size Large Bar Mitts, which I think are just a hair bigger. See photos attached for comparison - I've stacked the Odiers and Bar Mitts on top of each other and vice versa in the second photo. If you have a bike with thumb shifters it will be tight but this is probably the best size to get. (Bar Mitts offers XL but these are much bigger - too big for most setups in my opinion.) Build quality of both (stitching, etc.) seems great. The big advantage of the Bar Mitts is a velcro attachment strap inside for the end of your handlebar. If you have "bar ends" the strap works really well and holds the Bar Mitts in place better. I personally went with the Bar Mitts for this reason, but regardless of the brand you choose I think you'll find the concept works great. This will be my 19th winter commuting by bike, and after testing for the past couple months I regret not purchasing a pair sooner!

If you bike in cold weather, these (or a similar item) are a must-have. I tried to get by for years without them by wearing thick gloves (usually two pairs, a thin par inside and thick lobster or cycling gloves on the outside to keep some fingers close together and warm while still allowing some dexterity for shifting and braking, with handwarmers inserted on particularly cold days), but since I got these, that has become completely unnecessary. Now I can just wear the thin pair of gloves and ride with these without fear of a self-induced wind making my hands cold. On warm-ish but still cool days where I would otherwise wear gloves, I can often get by with just these and no gloves at all. (I live in the Midwest US, by the way, so that threshold for me is in the 30s-40s Fahrenheit; I've used these and a thin pair of gloves with near-zero temperatures or slightly below and been surprisingly comfortable as well, though for longer rides I might wear a thicker pair if it's that cold--but still nothing like I've needed to do before.) These fit my hybrid (with flat/straight handlebars) well, and I believe they make others for road bike (with drop handlebars). They are attached with a zipper and a Velcro-style fastener and are easy to take on and off if needed, though I usually just leave mine on because it's easier (and bring an extra pair of gloves in case someone is unkind enough to steal them).These appear to be basically knockoff of Bar Mitts, the popular brand name for this type of product. I've never used those so can't say how they compare, but they are clearly intended to fulfill the same function, and they appear to be about half the price based on some Amazon listings I've seen, so I'd consider them a good deal.

These bar mitts are great. I ride a couple miles to work, 5 days a week year round, and when the temp's drop below 20, which they do every winter, the wind chill on the fingers is a killer. These completely block that wind chill and make the ride bearable. There's still the ambient temp. you have to deal with so wear gloves obviously. They set-up easily over the handlebars and its simple to slide your hands in and out of them. A great buy if you're a winter rider, my only regret is not getting a set of these years ago.

Feels like you’re putting your hand in a giant beer koozie. Nothing plush or fancy, but it greatly augments the warmth you get from a thin pair of gloves. Been riding around Chicago with these the past couple of weeks and haven’t had cold hands yet. I have these on a Raleigh Circa with cruiser style handlebars and they fit just fine.

Having used these for a couple of months now I've found they make very little different in terms of how my hands feel biking in winter. Still cold, perhaps slightly less than without these but not much. And they make it much harder to get your hands on and off the handlebars, which could pose a safety issue in certain situations. In short, I am puzzled by all the 5-star reviews since in my experience these, while not exactly useless, did not solve my cold hands problem.

They're pretty small. From the pictures you think they would be bigger but they're not and that is its only real downfall as it makes it somewhat difficult to put on your bike and a little awkward putting your hands in when you're wearing somewhat large gloves.The part of my bike that I use to change gears is a part of the handlebar where I can just twist it up or down to change it; I haven't had any issues changing gears.I have used these in 14 degree Fahrenheit temperatures so far with a my usual winter gloves and a non-insulated glove underneath meant to just wick away sweat and they're absolutely wonderful. My hands and fingers never get cold anymore! For a few weeks I used hothands, which also worked really well but those made my hands sweat more and they started to tear apart the seems on my gloves forcing me to buy new ones.Despite the size I'm giving it 5 stars for being good so far down to 14F degree temperatures, not even including windchill, and for the affordability. These definitely make cycling in these kind of temperatures more comfortable! I'll use these in the single digits and teens but anymore than that and I'm just going to wear gloves. These are incredibly warm.

These are great. I rode mountain in 10 degrees last week and my hands were actually sweating with lightweight fleece glove size on. They fit very well on my low rise bars. I like the zipper and Velcro securing system. They are made of thick neoprene, and are very windproof. They don’t look or feel as bulky as you might think, especially once you’re on the bike. No fleece lining, but it’s not needed. I also think they would save some hand damage if you clipped a tree or crashed. Great price too.
