"Need" of course being very strong language for my love of lobstahz, but
how much do we really need anything that we know and love? In my experience

I use lobstah mitts just because I'm from Maine ;) I find them to be a
good mix between glove/mittens. the 'naked neighbors' keeping each other
warm. Banding together as good neighbors allowing for good dexterity/grip
on the bars. Digits 4/5 gripping the bar along w/ 1 and 2/3 doing the

I don’t understand the need for lobster mitts. I ride single track with mittens
all the time and have no problem gripping and braking as needed. Yes, one is
always compromised, but in those conditions, if I’m going so fast I need to
grip, I’m going too fast anyway. Slow down, and I have no probl
Glomitts (gloves with a flip over mitten) make a great under mit for extreme
cold (-10˚F and below), when you never want much bare skin exposed even when
you need manual dexterity (but you’ll only have it for 8.3 seconds, so work

Alan. Mittens. I don’t wear gloves. Grin. I find them ineffective. When I need
dexterity, I just pull of my mitten, do what needs doing, put the mitten back
on. 4-ply boiled wool mittens, with Empire Canvas overmits for below 20˚F or so.
