Great Invention but has it's limits
It was an overcast day in the Midwest with a ride time temperature at 35F. Wind was at 9 mph. I fitted the Bar Mitts on my bike handle bars just before riding out. I wore my Giro Ambient Cold-Weather Cycling Gloves and rode for a total of 6 miles in 35 minutes. To state it quite simply, my hands never got cold. My fingers were comfortable & the back of my hands & palms were actually warm. Before the Bar Mitts, riding under the same conditions, my hands would be frozen stiff after just 15-20 minutes riding. I suspect I could have easily ridden an additional 20-30 minutes with the Bar Mitts with no issues, but my maximum work-out ride is usually about 30 minutes. I had read favorable reviews/comments about these mitts on other websites & had to try this myself.Under more extreme conditions, two days later, I rode on another overcast day with a ride time temperature of 31F & winds blowing at 20 mph (wind chill around 23F). After 5 miles & 30 minutes later my hands were cold enough to end my ride, but there's absolutely no way I could have ridden this long without the Bar Mitts in these types of conditions. I think I can mitigate the extreme cold by placing hand warmer packs within the Bar Mitts. This could be another advantage of using the Bar Mitts since you can conveniently place warmer packets within the mitts. I'll update when I get results. With that being said, there is no doubt that these mitts can extend your ride time in cold weather (above freezing) & in extreme cold (freezing or below) at least give you the opportunity to ride when you normally could not. Hopefully, the hand warmer packets can provide an additional layer of protection in temperatures below freezing.

Style: Single Left Side Opening (for Bar End Mirror)Size: Small/MediumVerified Purchase
I purchased these bar mitts for bike commuting into the early winter in Minnesota. Who knew that they would make such a huge difference? I just wear a very light pair of gloves to ride when I have the bar mitts, so I feel like I have good control. It is very easy to get your hands in and out of them - I know some people, including myself, were a little concerned about emergency situations - but no issues whatsoever. I can easily brake, adjust e-bike controls, and make hand signals for turns with no problems. They were also very easy to install. I just removed the mirror from its stem and slid the bar mitt right over it, then screwed the mirror back on. It just took a few minutes to get it all figured out. Highly recommend if you are a cold weather rider.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior product!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018
Style: No Bar End Openings (Standard)Size: Small/MediumVerified Purchase
Great piece of gear and essential in cold weather. There's no way you'll find gloves that are as warm as this without the bulk that makes them impossible for cycling (e.g. lobster gloves). There's an inside Velcro strap to anchor the mitt to your handlebar in addition to the zipper/Velcro tabs that secure it to the handlebars. The zipper closes the front so that no cold drafts get in (so that is essential), yet the glove is large enough to let air circulate inside. I find it easy to pull my hands out of the glove - it's like they're not even there. No problem shifting or braking. I like to change my hand position on the bar and these allow me to do that. They fit my hybrid bike but not the mountain bike only because I have one cable that extends out too far. Without that, they would fit easily.
Pros: durable and good quality, keeps hands/fingers/wrists warm in temps as low as freezing, you can use whatever type of normal cycling glove you like, zipper + Velcro tab design is perfect for preventing cold drafts from entering, you can move your hands along the handlebars and shift/brake unencumbered, I think the s/m will fit most women and their bikes and lg/xlg will fit most men and theirs.
Cons: absolutely none! This is a brilliantly designed product for cold weather cyclists. Worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars They really do work well
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2012
Style: No Bar End Openings (Standard)Size: Small/MediumVerified Purchase
I ordered these Mountain Bar Mitts to use with my hybrid/comfort style bike that has handlebars similar to the photo on Amazon. They are a remarkably simple and effective product and have really improved my cold weather cycling.

They aren't perfect. The internal bar end thingy with velcro is annoying to adjust and doesn't seem to work well with my bike's handlebars, but it actually doesn't matter much, because they work very well even without that thing rigged up properly. A better design of that thing (if possible) would improve the product, but again, they work fine even as is. The other negative is the price - it seems expensive for a couple of neoprene oven-mitt things. But dang it, they do work great, so they are worth it, and I would definitely order them again.

Previously, I was using heavy ski gloves and still getting numb fingers when riding in cold/windy weather (temps in the 20's F). With these Bar Mitts, I switched back to the thin leather gloves I use when riding in the mid 40's F, and my hands actually sweat from being too warm.

The reflective elements are a nice touch. I wish all bicycle stuff manufacturers would include reflective elements in their designs like this.

It may take you a ride or two to get used to not having 100% freedom of hand movements when riding, but you really only even think about that at stoplight/stopsigns or if you have to make hand signals, etc. You do get used to it, though, so that is not a big deal. You can still shift and use brake levers like normal, you just don't see them. Also, I had to take the bell off of my bars to make it work, but those are minor prices to pay for really effective hand warmth in cold & windy weather.

5 stars for performance, 3 stars for price, 4 stars for design. If you have mountain or hybrid/cruiser bike handlebars similar to the photo on Amazon and suffer from cold hands and are considering these, I recommend them, you will be happy. I don't know if there is a better way for them to design the internal bar-end velcro holder thingy, but if they ever perfected that, I would up my review to 5 stars across the board.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Accessory for Cold Weather Riding
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018
Style: No Bar End Openings (Standard)Size: LargeVerified Purchase
Usually, I am a warm weather bike rider. If it isn’t at least 60 degrees, I don’t ride. However, after making a bet with a coworker that I could ride to work every day, I had to prepare myself for some cold weather. I braved October and November, but December started to get a bit chilly. Christmas rolled around and under the tree were the Bar Mitts Mountain Mitts. At first, I had no idea what they were, but after my husband explained, I was ecstatic!

The bar mitts are exactly as described….basically, mittens for your handlebars. They fit over the bars and cover the gear shifters and everything, and then you slide your hands into them. They are a godsend! My hands are usually the first thing to get cold, but with the bar mitts, they stay warm throughout my ride. In addition, they are also easy to install and remove. I live in Missouri, and the weather tends to frequently fluctuate between cold and warm, so I add and remove them accordingly with ease.

The only downside that I see is they do look a bit silly, so if you want to maintain your reputation as a serious biker, these probably won’t help you out a lot. They do cost a bit, as well, but cyclists usually don’t have any issues buying accessories for their bikes. I also wish they came in different colors, instead of just plain black. However, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

Overall, I give this product 5 out of 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly warmer than without

Style: Two Openings (for Bar Ends)Size: LargeVerified Purchase
I use this on my flat bar ebike with dual mirror setup - so it does have a hole on each end for the mirror.

So this does work in taking the edge off cold temperature situations - ie., it blocks the wind chill effects and keeps your gloves dry in wet conditions. But over time, I find that my hands will get almost as cold compared to when I don't have the bar mitts. My daily commute is 1 hour - enough time for the cold weather to be noticeable on the hands. The holes on the ends of my bar mitts for the mirrors don't help.

Still, I do like the fact that it keeps my hands dry in wet weather and it does keep the bulk of the wind away. Would recommend but I still need my regular winter gloves under the bar mitts. I was hoping that I could get away with a thinner glove like many of the other reviewers stated but it didn't work that way for me.

On a reasonably mild day, they were ok, easy to fit etc.

However, even with warm gloves inside the mitts, me fingers eventually started to freeze when temperatures approached zero on a long bike ride through London.

Bought another brand instead…

These bike handlebar mitts fit my XL Trek Verve +3 E bike. They allow easy access to the brakes and gear controls. This is a large sized frame and handlebars but the mitts are spacious enough for easy installation and access. They are made of the same black neoprene that I use in a wetsuit, so have reasonably good insulating properties. I deducted one star as only one mitt had a hole cut for the end of bar mirror. I had to use a sharp knife to cut a 1" hole in the other mitt. Small thing, but shows problems with QA.
