Moose Mitts - XPAC

A minor material update to the classic Moose Mitt, the only difference being the construction material is from a lighter slightly stiffer VX21 XPAC (Black) and EcoPack (Tan)  this gives the mitts a little more body/ structure making getting in and out a touch easier. Additionally they are lighter and a bit more packable as a result of the material.

The Moose Mitt legacy that Mike Flack and family created lives on!! 

Mike and Abby had  been making the original Moose Mitts (AKA Bike Pogies, Bar Mitts) with the best design and quality materials. Enjoyed around the world by commuters, enthusiasts, racers and new cyclists, now for over 20 years! 

Multi-functional the Miits are also great on Hiking poles, XC Ski poles and Snowmobiles.

From Mike : Abby and I are excited to be handing over the Moose Mitt legacy to Nittany Mountain Works out of Pennsylvania. The little brand we started from our apartment in 2001 will continue  being made the USA with great materials and detail"

These are essentially a large mitten that covers the handlebars and bar ends of any flat bar bike (riser bars too). These stay attached to the handlebar, you simply slip your hands inside and keep them warm. Shift and brake with ease while using your normal biking gloves. These type of bike mitts have been a used by Iditasport and winter riding enthusiast for decades.

Made with 1000 Denier Cordura exterior shell, providing a light, strong, water-wind proof and abrasion resistant material. Flexible enough to allow braking and shifting from the outside if needed. The interior is lined with fleece to keep your digits toasty the outside. Very easily installed or removed with Velcro attachments and an Elastic loop to hold on the end of the bar.  Flat Bar version are coming with (2) 3M Reflective strips, and Dye Sublimated color stripe.

Installation Made Easy- Once they are on you can choose to take them off every time you ride or leave them on during the winter season. They work best for temps below 40 degrees, and down into the negative digits. By leaving them on during the winter months Moose Mitts help keep the grips from getting wet or frozen when the weather is misty or snowy. All flat bar versions come with a Velcro tab closure to allow you to close off the large opening. This is for those times when nature calls, you have a mechanical, or are taking a coffee break

1.) Make sure you have them on correct Both Left and Right sides should have the reflective accent stripes on the top side.  

2.) Slip the small opening (with Velcro strip, over the end of your bar (bar ends too). Continue to move them around until you get over the grip and make sure to get the brake lever and shifters covered by the opening. 

3.) After you get over the brake levers and shifters pull the Moose Mitts around the correct positions (for riding they can be tilted upward to make it easy to get in an out while riding). This position does not have to be exact; you can roll the Moose Mitts around the bars slightly after secured to get the right angle. 

4.) Once you have them in the location simply pull the Velcro strip tight around the bars and secure the small end (nearest the stem) to the bars. 

5.) After the Velcro is secured, reach inside and pull the elastic loop over the end of the bar (or bar end if you have them). Then pinch the plastic cinch and slide it up to tighten with the handle bar being above the cinch. (Figure 5)  The Elastic loop is in place to prevent the end of the Moose Mitts from sagging, and should be positioned so your hand is not stuck on them. For bar end equipped bikes slip the loop around the bar end only for best results. No bar end then use the chord cinch with the handle bar set above the cinch and slide it up to tighten a needed
