cold rain? I agree, but my bar mitts help quite a bit. you reminded me of a soaking rain ride last year. I used cotton gloves & because I take my hands out of the bar mitts, they got a little wet. 1/2 thru my ride I changed my gloves, had another pair of simple glove liners. but neither pair ever got "soaked"
because my jacket sleeve is tucked in, water drips down the sleeve into the mitt & pools at the bottom, under my gloved hand but doesn't touch my hand. I can tilt the mitt down to drain it. I suppose if I rode in a lot of rain I'd add a close-able hole for drainage
when you stop they help as a shelter for gloves
