Warm. They do sag, but I found a solution that I'm happy with
For what you pay for them compared to others on the market, they deserve 5 stars.I bought these for my fattie for MN winter single track riding. I have ridden in single digit temps with wind chills near and below zero, wearing medium weight ski gloves underneath, and my hands were sweating. From now on, ill be wearing a thin pair of winter running gloves.Pros: Super warmRemovable inner fleece lining for easy washingVery oversized, easy to get on over brakes and shifters, and cinch tight at the ends.Cons: They don't have alot of structure rigidity. When your hands are in them its no big deal. If you are consistently taking your hands out, it takes a little fussing getting your hands back in because they tend to sag. SOLUTION: for myself, I attached small bungees to the loops on the top(1 per mitt) and hooked it loosely around the handlebars. This gives them a little upright pull on the top, so that they sit at more of a 30 degree upwards angle as opposed to drooping down.For what you're paying compared to others on the market. Worth the 5 stars. I wanted warmth, as my fingers have always been what cuts my rides short, and these have all the warmth I need.

they work good
after a few trails from 28-52F, rain, snow and windy conditions: these work great, fits over a stock specialized levo SL with no difficulty, kept my hands dry and warm with just thin glove liners or green rubber gloves (to stop splitting finger tips in winter) they dry fast, easy to clean the mud off with a garden hose. I leave them on the bike when i throw it in back of truck, and they stay on the entire trip (65mph+) and the hands warm the pocket up quick. friend has the neoprene ones, and they're a little tighter in the pocket, but stuck out farther from end of handlebar. the rock bros can stays right to the end of the bar, I don't know if i would take it on tight tree rides with it being slightly loose but there was a review with end connectors holding it on snug to the end and I think that'd solve any future issues there would be.

Great product with a fatal flaw that could affect safety.
TLDR: quite warm, but moves around too much which could be unsafe.I do food delivery on a bike in Minneapolis. No glove I have found can handle how cold it gets here while moving on a bike. With these I have found that I am comfortable even on days where it is -5°F (I haven’t tried colder than that). So that must mean that it is a fantastic product but it has two issues.The first of those issues is pretty small. I just think it should have a pocket for a hand warmer like some other brands do. It does have a pocket but it is outside of the windbreaker/waterproof layer so it isn’t super useful for that purpose.The second issue is the reason this isn’t getting five stars and maybe should lose it two stars instead of just one. It doesn’t have a way to attach itself to the end of the handlebar. I underestimated the difference that this would make. With other brands that do attach to the end of the handlebar it’s easy to pull your hand in and out because it’s predictable where it will be and you don’t have to shimmy your hand in to get it inside. This has been a truly big problem for me and how I use it as a courier but even more so I think that in certain situations it could be a major safety issue when you need to move your hands quickly to avoid a collision or something like that. I am going to cut a hole and sew up the edges so it can attach to the end of the handlebar, but when you’re paying this much money that should already be done for you.

Comfortable Cold Weather Riding
I'm thrilled that my fingers aren't falling asleep anymore due to the cold. It's not that they don't get cold, it's that they don't get too cold where I fear frostbite, starting to lose feeling.I wear light gloves under these. There's plenty of room inside the mitten for thin gloves and I can even get away with wearing a thicker pair if I want. I tried using my bike with the mittens, with no gloves, and if the bike was sitting outside and it was any colder than about 40°, forget it. You're going to need light gloves to really be comfortable. Otherwise you're wasting all your body energy trying to warm up those handlebars.I can finally ride my eBike at assist speeds, in cold weather, comfortably.Unfortunately because of how big they are, I had to take off my cup holder and phone holder for the winter. That being said, IT DOESN'T MATTER if I have those things or not. If I can't ride the bike because it's so cold, they'd be a waste of space. So that's an acceptable compromise. I'm not wearing two pairs of ridiculously thick gloves anymore that hat still find my hands being cold.. Instead I'm wearing a thin pair of gloves that allow me to feel and operate the controls. And a ridiculously thick pair of mittens that keep the wind off my hands and I swear I can feel the humidity rise around them.It's so easy to slip my hands in and out of these on the fly. And they're just big enough that they generally keep the wind from blowing up my sleeve.My phone easily fits in the zipper pocket that is UNDERNEATH each mitten. I was actually shocked at how big these pockets are and how well the zippers operate.I imagine these mittens could be really comfy on a longer ride with some hand warmers in each mitten pocket. I haven't needed them yet 😁

Great option for cold weather riding
Great value for the money and very warm. The fleece liner is too hot unless it is below zero. I would agree they can flop a little like others have said, but with a simple modification these mount like any other bar mitt. I bought some metal bar ends, 4 sets for $10, and made a small hole through the material (see close up picture). They do have a reinforced piece where I made the hole between the layers of fabric. Most of the people I ride with have 45North or BarMitts and they all are wearing gloves in addition to their bar mitts. I normally ride no gloves down to about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. If it is 30 or Warner they are too hot to use. I’ve had these for a year now and highly recommend them.
