I do have a couple sets of hippo hands or handlebar mitts Cormanus. The caveat being that with the NC there is a giant parking brake on the left handgrip and a button on the lower right side to release it that requires both hands to operate.(one to push a button and one to drop the lever? Ive been trying to come up with a way to use them by maybe cutting a flap in that area in the left mitt, but I just dont have it worked out yet.

Let me kmow how they do for you. Id have a hard time spending that kind of jingle for a pair of gloves though. Im frugal.

....but have fitment problem: too bulky around fingers, tried L, M & S.
The XS is also available....perhaps different make will make them fit much tighter...still shopping around and may consider heated insert/battery powered of course.
Heated grips, good stuff but not crazy about them....to many wires..

Kinda like how some of the women feel when fitting for motorcycle gear. They can get quite frustrated in regards to fit.

my issue is I need a pretty large gauntlet to go over my Cortech jacket with liner. Looking at this video review of the gloves it seems like the gauntlet would be too small. They seem to barely fit over this guy's bare arms

I guess you'll have to determine what is compatible for your needs. For all my jackets it generously cinches down over and stays over my sleeve cuffs by several inches. The Velcro cinch, of course, is adjustable to cuff diameter and desired tension.

GO I just measured the circumference around my Cortech jacket and it measures 14". Can you measure what your normal set up measures?

Yikes. Well, therein lies a difference. Mine is about 9.5", and that is my cold weather Triumph gear cuff.
