Bar Mitts//Review

[Selkie]

OK, I used a lighter weight glove w/them and it was much easier to get my hands in/out. If you wear a thick jacket or heavier gloves, there is potential for having a hard time getting them in and out, and less room for your hands to move around inside the mitt. Go with a larger size if you anticipate needing a heavier glove (see below). I think it's more a matter of acclimating, in terms of getting the hands in/out.

My usual cold weather hand solution is lobster gloves on top of two pairs of wool glove liners and a chemical hand warmer. Therefore, I'm used to riding with a degree of reduced hand dexterity.

One other thing, it's more difficult to ride out of the saddle. You have to take a lower position, but I did it comfortably. Just feels weird at first.

To remove them, you have to stop the bike and take them off the handlebars. They secure very firmly on the bar, which is a plus.

I guesstimated on size (got small, figured they were sized more for men -- but I've ordered medium for my campy bikes, so I will have the option of going with a heavier glove).
