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

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. On Monday, January 4, 2016 at 7:15:51 PM UTC-6, Daniel Jackson wrote: > > Anyone found a non custom set of pogies out there that works

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

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

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) http://www.sweatersintl.com/dachstein_mitts.html?_ga=1.102176321.1710840773.1424708904 With abandon, Patrick On Monday, January 4,

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. With abandon, Patrick On Monday, January 4, 2016 at 6:15:51 PM UTC-7, Daniel Jackson wrote: > > Anyone found a non custom set

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
