Way too early for April fools...

Ugly as hell, but leaves lots of room for logos!

I'll stick with gloves for cold rides. They'll also fit better in my pockets if it warms up.

That term makes me think of the Rock saying he will slap the taste out of someone's mouth.

Because when it's 35ºF I'm usually TT'ing in my drops the whole time.

Very funny! Great internet find!
Comical stocking-stuffer at Christmas for the cyclist who has everything.

I'm quite skeptical of this entire concept's ability to keep my hands warm in freezing temps...

I see those ads on FB all the time... I lol when I saw it and my wife asked what I was giggling about. I suppose there are people that would try anything.

Conceptually, I get it. I've found that air deflectors/hand guards on my motorcycle do more to keep my hands warm than anything else. Combined with heated grips, life is good down into the mid-20's (with appropriate gloves).

So yeah, hand guards on the bike for warmth, makes sense. Too bad these things will do NOTHING to block wind from the majority of the hand.

bar mitts can be a little too warm. I have wished for a less constraining solution. But this isn't it. OTOH, I have a tall rando bag, and putting my hands behind it can make up for gloves that are otherwise lacking.

Hold up - it TAPES onto the levers? And your fingers are unshielded when you're braking?

I agree - the concept of blocking air flow over the hands is sound, the execution is all wrong, as it doesn't block the air flow in the right place.
