• Maximum coverage
• Made for extreme weather
• Great for bigger adventure bikes

The Alcan™ is a maximum coverage, all-weather hand cover that fit adventure bikes, sport touring bikes, and many others. The Alcan is for riders who embark on cold and/or wet weather rides and tours. These are the absolute warmest hand covers on the market.  Covered with HippoSkin™, our waterproof outer shell, and insulated with a generous layer of HippoFat™, a warm, flexible, closed cell foam—both are designed to keep inclement weather away from your hands. The new Alcans also have a neoprene cuff around the wrist opening, ensuring a snug fit that seals off wind and rain. The cuff dramatically limits backdraft air into the area around the controls.

We originally designed them for the BMW GS, but Alcans fit most adventure bikes and sport tourers. The Alcan is the ultimate hand cover for all-weather riders. They feature a quilted interior and a hand opening that stays open at high speeds. They are designed to be fitted over hand/brush guards. Alcans feature front and side reflective panels for higher visibility in low light situations. Alcans are 12″ 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.
You guessed it, they’re sold in pairs.

NOTE – Motorcycle Hand Covers are now only available in black.
