Hippo Hands - 'Backcountry' Hand Warmer Covers, for Enduro/Dirt

For those who like to stand and ride, this is the model! But for those remaining seated - these hand covers also work with just about any bike! They are also a great option for cruisers with hand guards or lever guards, including Harleys with brush/hand guards (Memphis Shades are recommended for Harleys).

The Backcountry™ model is designed for enduro riders, dirt bikes, snow bikes, Harleys, and commuters who are looking for a minimalist hand cover. It is the smallest hand cover but does an amazing job at protecting hands from wind and light downpours.

The handlebar 'Muff' covers are covered with HippoSkin™, a waterproof outer shell, and insulated with a generous layer of HippoFat™, a warm, flexible, closed-cell foam insulation—both designed to keep inclement weather away from your hands. They feature a durable, quilted interior and flexible, neoprene cuff which ensures a great fit on many bikes.

The Backcountry features a front reflective panel for higher visibility in low-light situations and is 9 inches deep.

Hand/Brush Guards are required for proper fitment and for safety reasons. Hippo Hands go on and off in seconds and never require tools or hardware.

Buying Guide

Choosing the right model depends on your bike, riding style and preferences. Please read the descriptions below to help you decide the best model for your riding style and for the bike you ride.
