What’s nice about these, you can easily remove them when the weather warms up.

Are you talking about the ones like moto-cross bikes have? If so...no thanks (fugly). Just get a decent pair of gloves (insulated/heated) IMO.

These are supposed to be very good. Appears that the good ones are a bit pricey....

No, nothing like moto. These are going to be extremely nice. I ride in mid 40s and below at times. I have heated grips and do to the wind, a lot of the heat from the grips isn’t getting transfused to my hands. These protectors will eliminate the wind around my hands so I can absorb the heat from the grips.
I didn’t have heated grips on my 2014 Heritage. I did use the HWY 21 heated gloves and didn’t like them do to the bulkiness of them.

I was just thinking about something like this on my last ride. Was in the 40's most of the time, and upper 30's towards the end of my ride, and my fingers were hurting even with insulated gloves. Not heated though.

I thought, it would probably help to have those wind deflectors for my hands. Well this may be my chance to find some that look decent. I will contact him and see if I can get on the list.

Thanks for the info.

I’m with ya on that. I have heated grips and the wind just sucks the heat out. What’s nice, easy removal for warmer weather. I’m 66 years old and I want comfort and a functional product that looks good too.

In total agreement with you. JES is designing them to be functional and not to be hideous.
Contact him and you’ll be one of the first to see the finish product.
I can’t wait myself.

Another thought on hand guards...

Above and beyond just wind protection, they also do a nice job keeping misc. road debris off your fingers and knuckles. I've had rocks bounce off my hand guards @ 80MPH before. Even with good gloves on, that would have hurt.
