I have the Barkbuster 'Blizzardbusters' for winter commutes, plus an easy swap Puig taller screen.

The Blizzard busters look basically the same but appear to be about $20 or more. Both do the job. Keep our hands warmer.

its winter......oxford muffs & heated grips.....toasty

I bought the Blizzards to go with my BarkBusters and they don’t quite do the job. They’re just big wind guards and don’t keep any heat in. Like bth2 said above, if you’re really trying to extend the season a set of real muffs is what’s needed.

I guess it depends on the temps of your extended season. 40’s and rain were fine in these 3/4 mitts. I have heated grips but purposely were not using them for this review. With the heated grips on I didn’t need the glove liners in the high 30’s

I have the BB Blizzards and have been comfortable riding with them along with heated grips.  So far, the coldest I have ridden this winter is 22°F (-5°C).

 

I don't wear winter gloves, but wear uninsulated summer rain gloves that are windproof as well.

I am using the OBR ones as well. They work great for knocking down the wind and are easy to install and remove.  Probably not as warm as some options are but are never in the way as far as mobility of your hands go.

YEH, good thing for me, is I have a black/grey graphics kit and they're a great match.  I remember back in the 80's and 90's there were some awesome fur lined ones - very popular for couriers on their CX500's ... cosey as!

My OBR ADV grip mitts are still working great after 7 years. They are especially helpful if you don’t have grip heaters. Great customer service, local SW Idaho company and made in USA.
