What Are Pogies?
Pogies are an interesting invention that allows you to ride outside in VERY cold temperatures without the need for heavy gloves. Since heavy winter gloves make it hard to brake, shift, grab something out of your pocket, or just about anything that requires your hands, pogies are a dream come true for many cold weather cyclists.
The basic concept is that they fit over your handlebars and provide warm compartments for your hands. That way you can ride without gloves in moderately cold temperatures or get by with summer gloves if it's below freezing. Then, without the bulky gloves, you can easily brake and shift and do whatever you need to do with your hands.
Pogies are designed for flat handlebars, but even if you're a roadie, you're probably riding a mountain bike if you venture out in the extreme cold.
In a nutshell, pogies are the ideal way to keep your hands warm in cold and wet weather.
