Backcountry model in gray. These products are brand new but are previous year models, so they're very similar to current products, but discontinued because they're gray!

Our Backcountry™ model is a low profile hand cover designed for enduro riders, dirt bikes, snow bikes, Harley cruisers and commuters who are looking for a minimalist hand cover. It is our smallest hand cover but it does an amazing job at protecting your hands from wind and small down pours.

Color: Gray

These are a discontinued item.
We do not accept returns on discontinued items.

Hand/brush guards are required for proper fitment and for safety reasons. Hippo Hands go on and off in seconds and never require tools or hardware.

The Backcountry™ is crafted specifically for enduro riders, dirt bikes, snow bikes, ATVs, and commuters seeking a minimalist solution. Sure, it’s the smallest in our lineup, but hey, size doesn’t always matter. Covered with our waterproof HippoSkin™, it features a generous layer of HippoFat™ insulation, keeping the elements at bay. If you like to stand and ride, these hand covers are for you! They fit nearly any bike and are also a great choice for cruisers with hand or lever guards, including some Harleys (we recommend Advanblack hand guards for the best fit).

Note: Hand/brush guards are required for fitting and safety reasons.
