Cuz it never snows in Tahoe or Plumas County or etc?Originally Posted by Melalvai
Since someone in California recommended these, you probably won't even want to look. Even come in sizies so you could use winter gloves inside.

Those are cool! In the figurative sense, of course...Only drawback would be limited hand movement on the bars, I guess. But still. What a cool idea. Originally Posted by SadieKate

I wear these with varying weight glove liners, usually either silkweight or really cheap midweight polypro, but I have layered heavier powerstretch liners under them too.
I love these gloves. They are really flexible and not bulky, although they are insulated and wind/waterproof, and the leather palms are grippy. The wrist closure works nicely under or over a variety of layering systems.
I've done short commutes down to under 10 degrees (but over 0!) in these with liners. I also have pretty good circulation in my extremities though.

I use PI Lobster gloves down to about -12 C/10F. The kicker is keeping the rest of your body warm enough without sweating. If you start to feel chilly it's your hands and feet that go first.

Layer one: Smartwool Glove Liners
Layer two: Therma-Luxe Glove liners (REI carries them - brand name starts w/an "s" - can't remember now, but they have a gold lame vibe going on
)
Chemical Hand Warmer
Top layer: AmFib Lobster Claw Gloves
I'm an endurance rider and this combo keeps me decently comfortable for 2-3 hours in temps above 20 or so. Like Tulip, I'm loathe to go out in temps below 20.
