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
Bar mitts don't work on my road bike. I use all the normal hand positions on it, plus I have clip-ons. I don't wear anything cotton on the bike or hiking. I like the eye shield. I see that there's a detachable one on Amazon. I might get one. Might solve the rain on inside of glasses issue.
