don't see why not, it's just a wind break, I think. funny tho cuz with them you can't wear big thick gloves, without them you can. so is there any benefit? dunno, don't have enough experience with them. I mean in the rain then sure, clear benefit cuz what gloves are actually waterproof right? in falling sleet & wet snow, probably yeah a good benefit there too, even compared to big gloves cuz it will keep all that off your gloves. was thinking about covering a cpl holes I saw too

hope some experienced bar mitt ppl chime in here!

these are the ones I've been trying out
