Now that I have completed my first winter months with my Alcans I would like to give my thoughts. I ride a 2023 GSA Rallye and I ride all year round as long as the roads are decent. No riding in driving rain and snow, but often in cold weather that gets down to 0-20 degrees in the winter. I can say that these covers do provide a great deal of protection from the cold and wet conditions. There is some cold air that creeps in around the handlebars inlets, but still provides great protection from the elements. In conjunction with using my heated grips I was well protected. I rarely had to use my heated gloves the protection was that adequate. The only thing that did not hold up well were the Velcro straps that hold the Alcans in place. The Velcro strips\lining were not made well and came apart at the seams. Got to get some more before winter hits again. Yes, I highly recommend the Alcans.

Happy Holidays.. I’m interested in a set of hippo hands for my ‘23 GSA with bark buster handguards… I’m interested in the backcountry so I can still see my controls while riding. Will they fit my bike correctly? I see you recommend th Alcan but I don’t want to be that enclosed.
Thank you
