GiVi keeping your hands warm...

[Guinness]

Its getting rather cold and since i want to delay rheumatysm for as long as possible
i decided to get the thing that really keeps the cold wind from my hands.
looks bulky, but they work and can be setup or removed in about 2 minutes.

easy to setup coz of big zipper at the bottom. takes about 2 minutes.

no screws or altering the bike just some straps to click.

there is some innerlining.
the levers dont touch the outerrim and dont get pressed coz ther is plenty of room.
there's an elastic band at the sleeve so it fits tightly around you arm.
it works for me.

just bare in mind that it will take 2-3seconds to get yer hand in and grab the brakes.

What happens when you fall off? Do your hands stay attached to the bars and break at the wrists?

Probably, but they will be lovely and toasty.

funny... real funnayh...
granted, it doesnt look "cool"...

lol... true.. it DOES look like someones track suit bottoms .... waahhahaha


yer hands arents "strapped in" you can just pull them out like you would just remove yer hand from teh leaver like ya normally do.
getting yer hands back on the leavers takes 2 maybe 3 seconds

I use something similar, although they have open ends so getting your hands in isn't a problem...
What i did have trouble with was at high speed they were pushed back into the levers, no such problem now though as i have handguards!!!

regarding speed

I see these on Bikes in Korea all the time, thankfully my greatest concern is keeping cool when I ride!
