Pogies

(For those unfamiliar with Pogies, they are hand warmers that wrap around the handle bars of bicycles. They may also be large enough for motorcycles, snow machines or ATV’s.)

The Wiggy’s Pogies, in my opinion, are the best on the market. The insulation is the L-6 Lamilite. The lining is a vapor permeable single-ply taffeta as we use in all of our sleeping bags. Since you will be using the Pogies during the winter, you do not want any sweat from your hands trapped in the Pogies. The exterior fabric is the DUCKSBACK material. It will keep rain and snow from getting into the Pogies.

As you can see in the photos, I have placed a molded tooth zipper on the inside curve so it is very easy to place them on the handle bars. At the end that is closest to the steering column there is a shock cord with cord lock to close that end which will keep out rain, snow or wind. The pictures were taken at a local bike shop so I could ask the fellow whose hands you see if he had ample room to work the brake and gear shifter; he said yes.

They are extremely lightweight—about 4 ounces each—and can be stowed in a very small area. Based on what I have seen of other Pogies products, none is even remotely close to being as warm. That is because they do not use Lamilite. Like all Wiggy’s products they are machine washable, as I am sure they will ultimately get dirty.
