Tusk Cold Pro Hand Mitts – Universal Handlebar Mount Wind & Cold Weather Protection for Motorcycles & ATVs

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.

These Tusk Cold Pro Hand Mitts worked way better on my 2022 Tracer 9 GT than I expected. That bike’s big brake reservoir usually makes anything like this a pain, but these slid right over the top without much fuss. The left side fit perfect. The right side needed a little tinkering and I ended up using just one Velcro strip, but it was enough to keep it snug. Once they were on, my hands stayed toasty even on really cold rides. No drafts sneaking in and no frozen fingers halfway home, which used to drive me nuts. For something this simple, they do the job really well and feel solid too. Super happy with them.

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.

Great product. Works as advertised. Just make sure you have the hand protector first, makes it easier and gives you plenty of space. I really like the open side, I don’t feel constricted, yet it keeps me warm in conjunction with my heated grips. Would definitely recommend.

Just took these out for the first time in 40 degree F with 40+ mph wind gusts and my hands stayed warm. Also have heated grips, so that makes a big difference. But without these hand mitts, my hands would've been frozen within the first 15 mins of riding. High recommend. Price can't be beat. Build quality seems good.

They seem like they’ll block out every bit of wind they encounter. I haven’t needed to use them here, I have hand guards on the bike and I use WASOTO heated gloves. I bought the $85 version but they sell a $105 leather version, I didn’t know about the leather option until after I got mine otherwise I would have bought those. Unless you’re in the northwest territories of Canada, you can get around using the handlebar muffs. If you’re on a budget this is going to be a better option. Either $35 for this rig or roughly $100 for heated gloves plus hand guards. Some people don’t like how hand guards look but they’re extremely functional. Function over fashion my friends.

As others have suggested, they are BIG/oversized. That being said, they are cheap enough to take a stab at modifications to fit your application better.....well, if you don't mind doing a little thread-work. I have a F700GS with the big BMW brake reservoir that GS bikes come with. I had to move the straps and cut a notch in the mitts to fit around that and added another smaller one on the left side for a GoPro remote control mount (not installed in the photos). I also took up some of the extra slack by sewing on some velcro on the underside for a better fit to my bike. With these on the bike, combined with my heated grips I can avoid the bulk of a winter glove when it's in the 30's or 40's. No more frozen fingers!

Provided decent protection on cold days. Installation was relatively easy and they felt secure. Downside is they're extremely large on my KLX 230 S.

Great product
