HH do for you and your ride what Uggs do for a lady. However, if you ride in the Canadian Rockies, the scenery may concentrate attention away from what your bike looks like. | HH do for you and your ride what Uggs do for a lady.

I'd buy these again. I can ride for hours in zero-degree C temperatures without my fingers becoming dangerously cold, and that's never been possible before. In warmer but still-cool temperatures I can be more comfortable. Because Alberta has such a miserable climate, I'll probably bring them along in the top box on out-of-town rides whenever it looks like the day may turn cold. | I'd buy these again.
