Customer Reviews

These are a good product and a great value at twelve bucks or so for use on a flat handlebar bicycle in cold weather. "Pogies" or "Moose Mitts" made for bicycles are 3x the cost +.
I have bar ends on my handlebars, and the bar ends to prevent proper positioning of these; but they still work pretty well. My bar ends are about 6 inches long. I will probably remove the bar ends in colder weather for better coverage if I continue using these from kwik tek. These are a good length and have pretty big hand entry points so you can get your hands on and off the handlebars pretty quickly. I have the brake levers and shifters set pretty far apart, and these have some difficulty covering all the over to the shifters; but it still seems pretty good. With decent gloves; these could get you through winter in most areas much more comfortably than with gloves alone.
I bought 2 different pairs of this type of product from Amazon to try them for bikes. A better option for some may be the "78137 QuadGear Black ATV Mitts". They work better with the bar ends, are warmer, and go further onto the handlebars. The downside of these is that they go so far up your arm. This would make them too hot even in some pretty cold weather, and may prevent quick removal of your hands in a quick reaction situation.
Really, I don't think you can go wrong with either the kwik tek scooter mitts, or the quadgear units for the price, but your needs may sway which you pick.
Additionally, neither of these products fits onto my 2006 Ducati Multistrada which is fitted with enduro style KTM hand guards. If the hand guards were removed, I would suspect that only the quadgear product would work for the motorcycle. With the bigger brake levers and fluid reservoirs, you'll need the extra length provided by the ATV gear version of these mitts.

After sitting in pouring rain all day attached to my scooter, the mitts had about a couple of tablespoons of water pooled inside each. Water splashed up onto my hands several times as I hit bumps on the way home. After I got home, I literally wrung another half cup out of each. I'm going to try some of that water proofing spray to see if it helps, and perhaps some seam sealer. Hopefully it will help the draftiness also. The material is definitely not waterproof. Not happy at all.
