Bar Mitts

 

If you suffer from cold hands during the winter but still want to actually ride your bike outdoors BarMitts are probably the best solution. The picture above is the Mountain/Commuter model.

 Here's a bad picture of what your arm looks like inside.  With BarMitts you can wear a substantially less bulky glove in colder temperatures without being cold.  This translates to increased dexterity.  Your hands aren't bound by a large bulky glove and therefore using the controls (brakes, shifters) is much easier.

 Here's a picture of my bike on a ride this weekend.  The air temp was about 20F with moderate winds.  I rode for four hours with just a light liner glove and was perfectly comfortable the entire time.  BarMitts are constructed of 5mm neoprene and come in configurations for Shimano, Sram/Campy, and mountain.  The road models are sized small, medium, and large which just changes the diameter of the opening by about an inch per size.  I very much look forward to using this product for the rest of the winter as I won't have to be on the trainer anywhere near as much!
