There is something not quite right with the looks of those.

RE: Dart Marlin Fly screen - flynrider - 12-22-2018

They look a lot like the old Vetter Hippo Hands.

I don't think anyone puts them on their bike for looks. I used to use them years ago* when I routinely rode in sub-freezing conditions and they made a huge difference.



*When I was young, stupid and didn't own a car.

I no doubt they improve the riding experience, or rather, endurance. Can't help to feel literally symbiotic with the machine.

LOL, and if the mitts aren't quite enough, we could try this thing:

That thing must be a joke. Can't be real.

RE: Dart Marlin Fly screen - the Ferret - 12-23-2018

LOL not sure i would go THAT far. But I do use a heated jacket liner, and mitts with heated grips (plus a fairing and windshield on the FJR)

I used to run Vetter Hippo Hands back in the 70's, so the mitts I use now are basically the same only not as nice. The old Vetter Hippo Hands were deluxe!

LOL! i don't know, that full body warmer might just be real, b/c
in the scooter world, this skirt for warming the legs is quite popular:

Wow - those are incredibly much. I can't help to feel something along the lines of, " ... I fell and can't get up.".

Umm yeah, how on earth do you put your feet down? Maybe it is made for non-stop travel lol.

Agreed. Going to these limits makes me think bad thoughts. Thoughts of: Car.
