There was a set I have seen posted around here, they are like 60 bucks I believe, and the page that has them, shows them mounted on a DRZ, over the big barkbusters, and from what I saw people said they work great on an S10.
They are similar to these https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/barkbusters-blizzard-universal-handguards
But cheaper and larger so they fit great over our handguards.

Can anyone help me out with a link or info? I THINK the brand started with an O?

I have the OBR hand mitts on my Tenere and like the crap out of them for cold riding. I rode in the pouring down rain twice and they kept my hands fairly dry for the first 2 hours.

They fit the stock Tenere hand guards perfect.

I bought a set and so far have used them for about 1,000 miles, they are nice quality and easy to install or remove but I can’t say they make a very big difference when it comes to keeping my hands warm. I’m hoping they will help keep my gloves dryer and warmer when riding in the rain but so far I haven’t ridden in the rain with them yet.
I've had my set for over 3 years. Still like new except for the edge piping has sun faded, same as all my other gear does. They are not heaters or warmers but only partial wind blockers so difference while not big is noticeable. They will keep your gloves dry/drier in all but the heaviest downpours and/or blowing rain. Biggest advantage of this design is the unrestricted access to all hand controls and switches. Standing on the pegs and off roading with these and it's practically like nothing is there. Most other designs are very restrictive and not safe for anything other than highway droning IMO.

Here are the Tusk gauntlets. They work better in the cold than any hand guards will. I can ride in below freezing temps with the grips set on low with summer gloves on. They make a huge difference. Here is a pic of them on my 16 before I traded it in. Only about 15 bucks a set. I had to snip the stitches on the inside to get over the switches. I plan on putting a snap there when I get time or a velcro patch so it can be closed back up better. A very low cost alternative that does work very effectively. Here is a link. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/962/15583/Tusk-Hand-Mitts?c=13IMG_3336.jpegIMG_3335.jpeg

I have the Oxford muffs as well. They work better in the cold than any hand guards will. I can ride in below freezing temps with the grips set on low with summer gloves on. They make a huge difference. Here is a pic of them on my 16 before I traded it in.View attachment 50938View attachment 50940
HEY! How did you manage to get that tank protector on correctly? I have one I haven't installed yet.

I was thinking floating it on with ever so slightly soapy water spray then pressing it down/squeegeeing

I just used a light mist of windex and put it on. I am used to applying them from doing my other hobby. I have installed more graphics packages than I can count.Extra300 (5).JPG

I just ordered the OBR ones :) Those hippo hands look nice but essentially the same and cost more. We shall see how these perform but I have heard nothing but good.
That's cool. Let us know how they work out for you. My main reason getting the Hippo hands is because they have an adjustable strap and no snaps to fiddle with. They both look like good products though.
