This rough weather accessory has been custom-designed to fit our handlebars and can be easily locked in with included bar plugs. Sure—your friends, family, and maybe even your dog will make fun of you for wearing them, because they really can look ridiculous.But I take back any side-eyeing I’ve ever done because they are indeed incredibly effective and I have now become a "pogie" user.

Suitable for use with the pushchairs with 2 handles (open umbrella type handlebars) or just one handle (closed handlebar). But once you’re acquainted, riding with pogies feels the same as riding with thicker gloves—except that your hands are warmer, and you have better dexterity. been using them during this cold and wet snap at temp as low as -2 and every winter I ride until the snow and ice days make it too risky . This bike gear has an easy attachment to your bike enabling quick and quiet slip-in and slip-out access. The ultimate in lightweight performance, Draugenklaw pogies are designed for anything from race days to mild weathered winter commutes and rides.I also cut another section of neoprene in a semi wedge shape roughly 15″ long and flaring from 1″ wide at one end to 2.

In fact I used to not have heated grips (this was back in the day when you'd stop at a traffic light, knock it into neutral and reach down and warm your frozen fingers on the engine until the light changed) and just wear summer gloves, and I never felt like I had cold hands.

Now, I just throw on some summer-weight gloves—or no gloves at all—and enjoy my ride without fear of numb fingers, ever. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one. I am very pleased with the results and the bar mitts are quite effective at blocking the wind and making cold rides much more enjoyable. But with the growing popularity of fat bikes and winter riding, many cold-weather cyclists have found that pogies work just as well on their handlebars. Installing the Bar Mitts was straightforward and quick, and armed with my new cold weather shield, I set out to test them during another winter gravel adventure in sub-freezing temperatures.
