I live in Canberra Australia and we are in the middle of winter. I am new to riding since last spring, so this is my first winter. This morning it was -5 celsius (23 fahrenheit) and i thought i would cry with the cold on my fingers.
I wore silk liners, then cheap synthetic gloves, then an outer, "weatherproof" cycling glove i bought from a cycling store here. I thought 3 layers would do it, but within a couple of kms i was almost crying with the pain.
So my point, given you guys have really cold weather in some regions over there too, can you give me any ideas on what gloves to wear. Apart from my fingers, I was fine cos i was all rugged up. I love riding so much, but am feeling depressed that i'll never find a finger solution. I have already bought 2 pairs of gloves from the bike shops in this city (you'd think they'd know about cold fingers), but they are just not cutting it.
Any help would be really appreciated.
thanks, Thea
