I used to use the relatively cheapie Oxford ones. Never really a problem with getting your hand back in at speed but they can pull on the levers when you're getting a wiggle on. Over 85 or so, they used to pull in the clutch. Handlebar muffs really do work but I still recall the joyous spring days when they came off and went back in the box for another year.

Mine were 50% gaffer tape before they got retired. I kind of regret never making fairings from estate agents boards though. That was commitment. Especially if the bike was a Bandit 1200 :)

So far I’ve been lucky. Most of my jaunts have been short and sweaty - even in the cold rain a rutted byway gets you unzipping the jacket.

I wouldn’t like to run un-structured muffs for that very reason. Then again, I’m placing them over bash guards and not going over 85!

I have a pair on order, will report back, but the DR has very minimal streetfarkle.
As far as my research online went, some months ago: some are more secure, fitting to the bar end or elsewhere, and some are much better with some pliable wire placed through the cuff loop, so they stay wide open for easy in-out with your hand.
The floppy soft ones are known to flap about and close up with the wind so a little inconvenient to get hands back in whenever removed from the bars.
