As with all handlebar muffs, construction is polyurethane-coated heavy duty Cordura Nylon outside, 18 oz arctic fleece inside, with a plastic sheet in between the two. Installation and removal takes all of about 10 seconds each, thanks to velcroed openings. Colour: BLACK.

These Hippo Hands will fit all varieties of handguards, OEM and aftermarket, even with extensions.

We now offer an option of 3M Scotchlite reflective silver stripes , each 2" wide, sewn on the front of the "Dual Purpose" model of Hippo Hands. This customized option will add two horizontal stripes to each muff, for tremendous added visibility at night. The cost is $25 US total for the pair of muffs.

"Dual Purpose" Hippo Hands, Black, only $84.95. A charge of $17.00 US shipping/handling will be added at check out, for all USA and Canadian destinations.

"Dan,

"It is a very good fit. I'm sure if you had my bike you could have made a slit for the mirror to slide in to, however, I think this design will have the flexibility to let it fit several different aluminum hand guards plus there is plenty of room for even larger plastic shields. I like the extra velcro in the mirror area ..."I also like the plastic in the frontal area... It does not make it work any better, it just helps it hold it's form for better looks..........I'm thinking about looks and I ride a KLR!!!!!"

"Thanks for working with me on this and if there are any other angles or measurements that you would like pics of just let me know. I plan on having these on my web site before the end of the weekend with a STRONG recommendation to go this route instead of the heated grips for the KLR. I still have trouble believing I can ride in 30 deg f temps with my vented summer gloves."

Just wanted to let you guys know these things exceed my expectations! I was riding around in freezing weather with summer gloves on. These things work where a pair of expensive, bulky winter gloves had failed. I've already had a couple people ask me about them, and it occurrs to me if you want to sell even more of them, embroider your website URL on them somewhere. I've seen people check them out while I'm parked.

Ciao, Chris Hoppe

Dan,

Just wanted you to know that the hippo hands arrived at my front door this afternoon. They are exactly what I had hoped they would be. I've all ready put them on the Wing and not only do they look great they fit perfectly. Haven't had a chance to actually ride with them but I can tell that I'll probably be able to go back to summer weight gauntlets when I ride. I much prefer a lighter glove to my heavy winter ones. I'll continue to carry my winter gloves and my electric liners just in case but I'm of the opinion that they'll never get used.

Thanks so very much for a very fine product that's also fairly priced.

Sincerely,

Karl H. Moltmann Milwaukie, OR

Russell Smith, on Jan 6 2010:

I got these just before Christmas (what a present!!!), and used them (on a KTM530 EXCr) on a cool, foggy day (about 38 degrees), to ride through our local OHV Park (Gene Chappie OHV, near Redding, CA).

Before these, I would be wearing my thick Ski gloves, and my finger tips would still be numb after the ride... (As someone said to me before, "wearing thick ski gloves while riding is like trying to grip the business end of a baseball bat.")

With these Dual-Sport Hippo Hands, there were times that my hands were beginning to sweat, even while just wearing my summer MX gloves!

I also ride my KTM to work and back every day (swap out my knobbies for Motard Rims/tires during the week), and my hands have been toasty warm, even when other parts are freezing! (neck, feet, knees, etc.

My only suggestion for a change: Since these are so "easy on/easy off", I take them into my office at work, but I would really like to keep them on the bike during this time. I thought maybe you could include a metal grommet ring (1/4 inch?) on the lower-inside portion of the Hippo Hand that a locking cable could pass through on each Muff, to lock them to the handlebars...

(Where do I send pictures of these on mu bike?)
