I have used the nashbar trekking bars on my snow commuter. However, with our mild winter, I really did not get to ride the snow commuter much. I am in the process of putting them on my single speed 1985 schwinn le tour. I liked the handlebars with what little time I had to try them out. I think they have potential. I ended up rotating them, so they were installed in a non-typical fashion. I think they will be good for utilitarian cycling, which is how I plan to use the schwinn. For the price, they are worth a try.
