I run the hippo hands here in CT for Winter riding. Yes they're buttfugly, but who cares what others think? They work extremely well down to 20F, which is about my lower limit to ride. (Gettin' old I spose) I do have concerns over the right side unit pressing down on the brake lever due to wind at highway speeds though. I'm of a mind that the brake light may be on while riding. Can't screw my neck around far enough to tell. Maybe Linda Blair wants to go for a ride?
