These work best in tandem with heated grips. They don’t look esthetically pleasing, but functional. They block wind and weather, while providing plenty of room to use your controls.

Pros: Installed In minutes on my DR650. No need to cut or drill for mirrors. I can ride at 60-65 mph with summer MC gloves in mid 30s fahrenheit.Cons: Goofiest looking things I ever mounted on a motorcycle going back to 1966. If you have dreams of impressing Harley chick's look elsewhere.

Ordered for my DR650. These must be for atv or snowmobile because they are way too long. Even with my barkbusters, these go half way across the headlight faring.

I threw these on the BMW F800 GS because i wasn't really didn't want to invest in a set of winter gloves at the moment. For reference, I'm currently running a set of Knox Urbane Pro mesh gloves with an AXIAL windproof underliner that works fine until you hit about 12C or so. When you get to those temps, the heated grips just get cooled off by the wind and do next to nothing to warm your hands. I used to run something like this on snowmobiles back when i lived in a place with snow, so this seemed like a good solution.For fit, it's patently designed for bikes with handguards. If your bike does not have handguards on it, these will probably be somewhat large. It doesn't help that the front straps on to the handguards, so for street bikes that don't have any guards I'd go with something smaller. I think that's where the size complaints are coming from. My 800GS has the BMW factory handguards on it with the plastic wind shields, and the Tusk mitts fit over them and strapped on just fine. Only fitment problem I had was with the brake fluid reservoir on the right side. I did get it to fit, but it was tight. The 800GS has a large reservoir though, so this might not be an issue on other bikes. If you have a dirt bike, scrambler, or ADV with flat bars and handguards, this should fit on your bike with minimal hassle. Install takes maybe 10 minutes (mainly dealing with the fiddly handguard straps). It's not something i'd want to take on or off a bike every time I ride, but throwing it on for a season and taking it off when it warms up won't be a hassle.As for actual use, I have no issues using the heated grip toggle, start/kill button, and the brights and turn signals. Changing dash info using the info button and using the hazards is pretty cramped, which is a problem since my BMW's body computer is broken (and irreplaceable, thanks VIN locking) and my turn signal cancel doesn't work, leaving the hazard button the only way to cancel. I can use it, but it's tight. If you have controls that are close to the mirrors like that, it might be a mild issue. They also have a bad tendency on collapsing in high winds (think 125kph or higher), which makes using top mounted controls a bit more cumbersome.As for warmth, they are certainly not totally windproof, I think some wind comes in where it's strapped to the bars, but it does a pretty decent job. With my heated grips on full, my hands will keep warm. It's a night and day difference from going with just the bare wind protectors on the handguards, It hasn't rained in a while, so I haven't been able to test the waterproofing, but I doubt it's something to be totally relied upon. I think for lighter rain and snow it should be adequate.Do note that it never has gotten below -5c this year while I've been out riding, so people in colder climates might struggle more. If you live in an area with mild winters, this might be enough to carry you a couple more months of riding. That said, I'd really start to question these as an all-in-one solution below that temperature. My thumbs were starting to get cold due to the wind ingress and the lack of any thermal insulation on my summer gloves. It wasn't super uncomfortable, but if you plan on riding at like -8C these will help, but you're just going to need warmer gloves. And without heated grips, I just wouldn't bother with these at all and go with heated gloves instead.For $40, I don't think you will go wrong with these. Just note that they might not be a complete solution and you will probably need extra gear if you plan on going into ultra cold territories.

I have a 23' Tenere with BarkBuster handguards. While I love Tusk and this seemed like a well built product, it did not work with my setup. It does also not have slots for your mirrors to fit through. Had to return these and buy a different brand unfortunately.

These work well for the price they cost. Not the greatest fit, but at $35 compared to over $100 and up for other brands, they work well. I wish there were different sizes to choose from, but that would raise prices. I have them mounted on a 22 KTM 390 Adventure with Barkbuster handguards. There is about 2" of space between the outer end of the handguard and the hand mitts. I can not move the mitts into the bars closer because of mirror location. You can't tell that it doesn't fit right by looks, but it makes the bars about 4" wider total. I use these in the winter and will put them in my panniers if calling for rain or long trips. I do think they will last as they seem to be well made, and they do what they are designed for. (keeping wind and rain off your hands. 4 stars instead of 5 only because they are not as nice as the higher price brands. But for the price, they are great.

Love these handlebar mitts. Installed on my Gen 3 KLR 650. They don't provide quite enough room for the mirror posts and but they're functional for effectively keeping the cold wind off my fingers. The elastic straps fit around my Tusk hand guards and a zip tie (using the provided loop inside the mitt) holds them against the outside of the guard where it meets the grip. They look good too. They're well made and definitely worth the price.

These proved very awkward to put on, didn't fit well on my bike (KTM 690), and are pretty disappointing. The listing says they work with handguards, which is a big duh of course, because the handguard bar is required to mount them. However, with the HDB handguards I have, they don't fit well at all, being spread open too far and without the attachment straps finding a good place to go. Worse, the flaps that should close the mitts and enclose the grips don't line up with controls or mirror stalk, at all. This pushes the whole thing off the end of the bars, making it floppy. Worst, they don't close up well, in my case, and so are awkward, ill-fitting, AND still cold!
