I've been wondering about motorcycle/ATV/snowmobile handlebar mitts for cold weather.

These insulated mitts from Cabelas's even have pockets for chemical hand warmers:
ATV Handlebar Mitten

Another example:
Waterproof Insulated ATV/Snowmobile Handlebar Mitts

You can find more by google searching "ATV OR motorcycle OR snowmobile handlebar warmer OR mitts OR mitten".

Chemical hand warmers can be saved between uses to minimize expense and trash. They work by oxidizing an iron compound (essentially making rust rather quickly). Between uses store them in a really airtight non-permeable bag (good freezer ziplock or get the ziplock bag on steroids, ALokSak which are waterproof to over 100' and very good for cell phone or other nonwaterproof electronics). By storing them airtight, once the oxygen in the storage bag is used up, the chemical reaction stops until you open the bag and air with oxygen is again available.

Please private message me if you try this type of mitt. I would like to know how they work before buying.
