Re: [RBW] Re: Pogies for Albastache?

Daniel-

I've heard of folks having decent results with customizing cheapo neoprene
pogies.  Your local farm/hardware store should have some pogies meant for
ATVs/Snowmobiles for less than $30.  Cut and re-stitch.

I've considered doing the same; I have Jones Loop bars and there are no
non-custom pogie options for those, either.
But, my hands seem to have good circulation and stay plenty warm.  I wear
double gloves (thin merino inner, BMX/MTB full-fingered outer) down to 15 F.

Cheers,
Tim

We sell Pogies at Rivelo. So far, just this model. They're $65.

I use ice-fishing mittens. Neoprene outer mit and poly inner. Completely 
works. Completely warm. Less than $20. You can shift bar ends and use brake 
levers.

Kai,

I've debated that. If I were to do that I'd buy a larger pair and hope the 
extra width was adequate. With these sized "just right" on me, there is 
enough room for my finger to move comfortably, but lobsterizing them would 
make them snug -- and as soon as anything gets constricted in cold weather 
gear the blood flows less and they lose their heat source. Also, don't 
count on them having any stretch. These are solid beasties.

What I've found is that if something is jouncy enough that I need grip AND 
steep enough that I need brakes, I have no desire to take it fast enough to 
make it so jouncy, so I brake. Jouncy and flat, no need to ride the brakes. 
So I haven't been motivated to get a larger pair and experiment. Yet. Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

My wife and I use "Moose Mits" on our snow bikes, both with highly-swept 
alt-bars (Mary and Carnegies, respectively) and like them very much.   I 
had a moment just now to put them on my daughter's bike with regular 
moustache bars, just to see how they'd work. Sorry - don't have any 
albastache bikes yet, so this is as close as I could get.   Some pics 
below, in case it is helpful. ( either to add or eliminate them from 
consideration)










They are doable, but not great.   The main "issues" being: 1) It is a bit 
slower getting your hand in and out of the pogie.  On straight, flat bars 
or the ones we use, it's almost as easy to grab the bar as if they weren't 
attached; and 2) You can't pull the pogie all the way onto the bar 
(rearward), so you can't close the flap that's supposed to keep spindrift 
out when you're not using the bike.  They still work well as a windshield 
for your hands though, and do not interfere with brake lever operation.   
All that said, I suspect they'd work  a bit better on albastache bars, 
because they're straighter adjacent to the stem.

They have a drop-bar version too, but I haven't seen them and don't know 
how they'd work:

For what it's worth

Super dense wool that's nearly windproof by itself. I rarely use nylon 
outer shells (ideally, ventile, but Hilltrek didn't offer those at the time 
I got my jacket)

What is the temperature range you're looking for? Not pogies, but boiled 
wool with a nylon shell is good for me below -20˚F, and works for any time 
off the bike also.

For others that like me, don't know, a Pogie is like a glove, except 
it also wraps around the grips of your handlebar.  So to grab the 
bars, you kind of insert your hand into the pogie, and in there is the 
grip of your bars, where you grab on. The pogie is a barrier that 
makes a little microclimate inside for your hand.




and definitely not to be confused with "pogey" (as in "pogey bait")...

How much wiggle room in those nice looking boiled wool mittens? Enough to 
stitch down the middle and lobsterize them? Mittens on bikes can be a pain in 
the butt, but mitts are a different story, all the warmth of naked neighboring 
fingers with two fingers on the brakes while the other two take care of 
handlebar holding. So, speedy stitcherable?
