Bar Mitts Handlebar Pogies

How Bar Mitts Keep You Riding in the Cold

The problem with heavy winter gloves on a bike is that they trade away the dexterity you need to brake and shift precisely. Bar Mitts flip the approach: they mount to the handlebar and create an insulated, wind-blocking pocket, so you can run a thin glove, or none at all, and still feel the controls. Getting the right fit is everything here, because the mitt has to match your specific bar, shifter, and brake setup to seal out wind properly.

Match the mitt to your bike

Road pogies are cut for drop bars and integrated shifters, mountain and commuter versions fit flat bars, and Extreme models add insulation for the deepest cold. The key is matching internally- or externally-routed cables and your shifter brand. For traditional handwear, see our winter gloves and mittens collection.

Beyond the bicycle

Bar Mitts also makes pogies for snowmobiles, ATVs, dirt bikes, rowing oars, and even baby strollers, applying the same wind-blocking idea to any set of handles. If it has bars, there's likely a mitt for it.

Layer for extra warmth

On the coldest rides, a thin liner glove inside the mitt adds warmth without sacrificing feel. Our heated glove liners pair especially well for long winter commutes.
