Yes, thats one of the reason these muffs are so good. The 1.5-2" height space makes it mucher easier to move your hand around, as well as making moving from the levers to the bar unhindered. However I dont use full winter gloves, I have a pair of Richa all ice polar toruing gloves. Not as thick as full winter so allow for more freedom of movement under the muffs, and due to being textile dry out far, far quicker then leather.

  • Handlebar muffs may make a bike look like a dogs breakfast,
  • but together with heated grips you can get away with summer weight gloves and make winter biking a much more bearable experience.
  • Yes and no, when you never have to experience hands being so cold they go numb you get used to the look very quickly.
  • Only untill the temp gets below 5c, at that point wind chill factor(wcf) becomes an issue. For example at 0c the wcf @70 drop's the air temp around the muffs to -11c, so summer gloves are a non-option due to a certain amount of draft from the main opening
@To the OP, I also have foam lever grips on my brake/clutch levers. During the winter this increases the amount of time it take for my fingers to start feeling cold, the image below is just example (mine are black). I have been using these for years from halfords, even before they were a thing for motorcycles.  The link below is for ones in different colours -
