Product Evaluation NITRO Winter Mittens

I bought two pair of the Nitro Winter Mittens, one for TTP and one for myself. I have had an opportunity to test them out today while riding the ST 1300. I paid $20 per pair, which is a very competitive price. Nitro an Vegas are low price point motorcycle gear apparel. The Nitro Mittens are textile with leather palms. It is made in Vietnam and workmanship appears to be ok thusfar. The sizes are true to size and I bought a pair of mittens that were XL. The interior of the mittens are cloth and very soft and supple. It is a three finger mitten. It feels odd wearing it. I will say that the weather was 45 degrees (F) when I left home, and my hands were very warm. In fact my hands began to sweat in the mittens, actually not a good thing. I did not have to turn on the heated grips at all. The downside of these mittens are that they seem to be made more for snowmobile riders than motorcycle riders. There is no protection other than the leather palms, no protection for the fingers. The mittens appear to be windproof and waterproof. The biggest problem with them is that you loss a great deal of hand dexterity with the mittens. It was difficult for me to operate the turn signals. Forget about the computer or any GPS, these mittens did not allow me to manipulate my hands even to feel comfortable controlling the motorcycle. These mittens would be perfect for a passenger! Anyway that is my short review. I rode with the mittens for approximately 130 miles, in a mixture of back roads and highways. Ride safe. Jp
