I was considering the other famouns handlebar guantlets but at $70.00 a pair I was hesitant. Then I saw these and thought "what the heck the price is right." When they arrived I was a bit dubious. They seemed lightweight. The outer surface is like a ballistic nylon and the inside is lined with polorfleece. I had to make a hole to attache my mirrors in each of them. The whole setup went on pretty easy. I have been using them since the weather turned cooler here in Seattle. Rain or shine my hands stay dry and toasty. I am wearing summer weight leather gloves when the temperatures are in the 40's and I can't believe how warm my hands are. If you ride in the cold you should give these a try.
Early this winter I saw some guy riding on the highway with something like this, and was ready to copy the idea from scratch it was so awesome (though at the same time uber-silly looking, I must admit). Then I found these on overstock, and at overstock prices no less! It's still cold and wet here, and sometimes I pick up frost on the outside of the gauntlets. But I am not cold riding, which means I can ride through the winter.
- How accurate was the sizing? Size fit the motorcycle, though I sort of pull the guantlet over all the buttons and switches, and wrap the velcro around the other of the mirrors. It took me a few days of fiddling to get this right.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Well made, well stitched.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes
Haven't used them yet but they arrived true to advertisement and am sure that anything to keep a little wind off the fingers will help keep them warm.
With no explicit instructions I'm going to have to play around to see if these will actually work on a motorcycle; I may need to alter them to accomodate the mirrors. Some instructions would have certainly helped! Before I know for sure I can make these work I can't recommend them to a friend.
works great for snowmobiling when its really cold, alittle clumsy but still better that freezing your fingers.
