Best handlebar Muffs?

[Rob Farmer]

After a bit of a soaking on Sunday I thought it time to get some handlebar muffs. What are the best ones available?

PM Steptoe for some of his

Warm, waterproof and comfy.

Steptoe's are long gone I'm informed.

 

[DavidHale]

Well, I would offer to sell you mine, but they're too warm, waterproof and comfy!

I'm going to be selling my car over the next couple of weeks so I don't really give a shit as long as I can keep my hands dry and warm.

Rob it's worth the effort to source some of the Tucano ones.
I've tried three or four others and they're all sh**e in comparison.

Rob
Having been riding all year round for the past 30 or so years I have tried (not necessarily at the same time), leather gloves, thermal gloves, thermal inner gloves, heated gloves, heated inner gloves, heated grips and different handlebar muffs.

The only combination that really keeps the cold out is heated grips and with a pair of what ever muffs you can get cheap - so long as they keep the wind off your hands (so make sure they can be tied tightly around the bars).

Oxford seem OK because they are faiirly stiff and don't deform at speed - but I've never really found a difference between brands. One tip - if you have bar ends s to make a hole in the muffs and clamp them between the bar-end and the bar. You might need some washers to space the throttle away from the fabric if it catches.

Strangely enough just before Xmas when the freezing fog was all around, the nice assistant in my local Hein Grrwatsit recommended their two fingered gloves - absolute magic - bit strange at first, but the best £34 I've spent on kit in a long time. Haven't bothered with the muffs this year, just the HK gloves and heated grips​

Don't you believe that crap about "No difference " between brands.

With the toucano muffs, you don't want to secure them at the bar ends. You'll get your hands caught in them when you manouvre the bike around. They have supports that keep the muffs in place. And they don't have draughts.

Rob, look [URL="http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90642&highlight=muffs"]HERE[/URL] for muffs. They're selling them for a cheaper price than i can get them for. One of the reasons i stopped supplying them.

I think the importer was taking the piss out of me after a bit of trouble i had with them when snoopy rang them up.

Muffs? Muff? I don't need no stinking muffs!

My gloves are warm, waterproof and comfy
