Got these in took alost two weeks from China but was scheduled for a month so I'm happy. I won't wear these too much but they do look and feel warm and will definitely keep wind off my gloves and fingertips. Only plan to use them when under 30. Maybe will cut them down some I tested and can use turn signals and all that

got a pair last year and they work real good, down to about 10 F. only when you get up to 60 MPH. it gets cold fast, just the finger tips, got to put some foam around the neck to keep the wind out. it does not close very good on a downtown,

I plan to wear gloves still with these or liners depending on the temps. I will probably reinforce or replace the velcro on these but I am really pleased with how they look and feel so far.

almost did that. But I went with a big wide windshield that cover everything .Im happy with that.plus I like my hands free.

I tried them on my People 150. Could not get them to seal out the wind well enough. The air would travel up the fairing and blow right into the covers where the brake levers are. Also the other morning I had to take my hand out to adjust my fogging face shield while riding and it was really distracting and unsafe for me to get them back in. I have ordered heated grips. I am disappointed because I really like the idea of the mitts but unfortunately, they just didnt work for me. I hope they work well for you. I have had some cool commutes down here in Ga. Down to the low 20s some times.

I agree....too much unsafe fussing trying to get hands back in while in traffic situations.
There are some pricey ones used in Europe for Vespas that look to stay open for easy access in traffic.
Most any type would probably work OK if you very rarely take your hands out.
Not for me.....I'm opening and closing my face shield too often.

I have small hands and although I think it may take a bit of extra concentration to removed and reinsert hands I think it is doable. Also I have contemplated slitting a seem down the side and putting either a zipper or a piece of elastic to facilitate things. But also I will only ride in weather that demands it so doubt I would be taking hands out unless stopped anyway. The one thing I may do is shorten the length. Most of my hand was fine it was just the half of my fingers exposed to wind that would freeze so even if some wind gets in blocking the full blast is the objective here as I'll still wear gloves. I would consider a windshield after BBK install but I have heard on a 50cc it kills the speed also not wanting to delete upper turn signals which is usually required for ones with hand shields.
