Bar Mitts

Get ready for a cold La Nija winter with some Bar Mitts for your bike.

Bar Mitts keeps your hands warm & comfy in rain, snow, wind & cold. They stay secure on the handle bars so when you ride your hands can slide in and out without difficulty. Braking and shifting is also easily accomplished. There are custom fits for road bicycles with drop style handle bars, or mountain/commuter bikes with straight bars. They're easy to install & easy to remove when the weather improves for a day.

Bar Mitts are made of neoprene, a synthetic rubber often used for waterproofing or weather resistant clothing (wetsuits). The neoprene has a closed cell construction, meaning it is filled with closed air bubbles. These bubbles serve as insulators, just as styrofoam does. Since the cells are closed, the neoprene itself is waterproof. The thickness of the neoprene is 5.5 mm with nylon laminated on each side. Due to the body of the neoprene, the Bar Mitts stay open allowing easy access and removal of hands.

We sell them for $65, and curently have the red & blue colors on sale for $45.
