If fact they contain a rigid plastic plate all along that keep them straight. There is even synthetic fur inside.

Answer's late but I waited for one hearth half revolution.

I tried that before the Bagster and it was not so efficient. When below 0°C that didn't prevent the pain.
I even painted the guard the color of the bike (BRG) with my *Pasche*. Nice but not so efficient.

The only down side apart from the aesthetic point is you can't grab the handle bars directly in case
of emergency situation when you just sit on the bike. That happened to me once when my younger son 
jumped on the bike w/o warning. We were in the garage and I was waiting for him. My hands were not on the 
handlebars when he climbed on. I didn't have the reflex to slid my hands in the sleeves and the bike
slowly got on its side just stopped by the tire of my bicycle nearby.
