    Kelly said he had to remove the plastic shields from the aluminum wrap around hand guards, to make them fit.

    those things are nice they look like you could raise small furry animals in them!!! to also help keep your hands warm.

    I had to take the plastic part off but left the aluminum bar. You could also run a cut down plastic part. They would just barely not fit over the Cycra shields.

    Wow, after years of winter riding in Denver usually with only heated grips........... My dad always mentioned hippo hands and the things I saw looked just too big and too unfriendly for adverse conditions. These look great though, and super reasonable for affording extended riding opportunities. And everything your saying Kelly makes perfect sense to me. After many years of my youth abusing my hands with hard technical rock climbing and now with being a tradesman for another 15+ years my hands are in rough shape. The difference between the risk of a slow or more difficult pullaway versus keeping my hands functioning and warm and able to do what I need them to is a no brainer.......

    So yeah. Thanks for the heads up I'm sure I'll be getting a pair or two.......

    I fully expected to be ripping them off and tossing them deep into the woods 300 yards into the trail. To my amazement I love them and now cant imagine riding winter cold and mud without them. Wish I had tried them years ago. The big shields I usually wear were good but these are WAY better.

    I have seen them made to go over the handguards with the plastic on. I don't remember where though.
    Maybe made by Moose?
