Pogies for Dropbars

This is long range planning...

I'm debating converting my Pugsley to a drop bar, with woodchippers. But this is my winter bike and I ride temps down to -20F, and with temps below 0F, I need pogies to keep my hands warm. Here's one example - Bar Mitts - Ride in Comfort

Question: Have you used pogies with Salsa Woodchipppers? If yes, what brand are you using?

Bikes: The two wheeled variety.

I do not have the woodchippers but I do have a flared out drop bar made by Masi. I use the bar mits and they work great! I have Ultegra brake lever shifters.

You might have to play around with the hoods but I did not have to change the position of mine. The bar mits are pretty clever design that go on and off easily. They are very warm as well.

Thanks for the feedback! The bar mitts look like the only mass produced option out there and are the likely option. The alternative for me, I have a friend that makes pogies for flatbars, he planning to make some prototypes for drop bars and offered to send me a test pair. I'll keep posting updates as I work on this project (or don't)
