Any UK stockists of Bar Mitts?
After being stung twice for import on stuff from the states (when the chuffing Royal Mail admin fee is actually higher than the tax) I am trying to find uk stockists for stuff!
After bars mitts for both drops and flats (well, Jones!) bars
Anyone know where I could get some from?
Thank you!

Any motorcycle shop, or eBay search for "handlebar muffs".
e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTORCYCLE-HA ... 1306238891
or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OXFORD-MOTORC ... 3efa1d150f
Think that's what you're after?

I've got both Hotpogs and Barmitts. They're both good and do the job.
I quite like the Hotpogs because: They're cheaper, you can pick your own colour, they do a pair with a rather nifty map pocket on top and they're made over here.
Barmitts were being sold in the UK by a kayak company but I can't remember the name now ... I'll have a think, they sent us some for the WRT one year so I should have some record.

just got a set of hot pogs (with the map pocket) as a xmas present off mrs barney
certainly seem to do the job although I'm not allowed to use them yet
yet another purchase courtesy a review/product of Stu, he's costing me a fortune !!!!
(p.s. Stu is the forum clock an hour out?

You're in charge of how the clock displays ... you can change it in the user control panel up there ^(p.s. Stu is the forum clock an hour out?

Here we go ... these are the folks who were bringing Bar-mitts in. Looks like they're still supplying kayak stuff but not mitts. Might be worth an ask though.

Really happy with my HotPogs. I got the basic ones last winter and would happily recommend them. The higher spec models look good for the price too.
Before anyone asks - yes they work OK with Jones Loop bars.
