How Was Your Commute Today?

Chilly. All layers worked w/ exception of fingers. Must figure out a better glove setup.

I, like hoffsquared, had very cold fingers this morning. Any recommendations for good warm gloves for this kind of weather (chilly, low 40s)? I'm not ready to pull the Am-Fib gloves out yet. I came to the conclusion that when I started commuting to work last year, I was totally clueless about what to wear. I didn't have any cycling friends and I didn't learn about TE until earlier this year so buying the right clothes was totally hit and miss for me last year.

I pulled out the Am-Fib gloves for this morning!
And the (lighter) shoe covers.
Brrr....

Yeah, it was 32 when I head down my little hill onto the bike path. This is my first winter. So I had on fingerless bike gloves under some fleece running gloves. No resistance to wind. Pretty frozen by time I got into work. So I'm looking for suggestions too!

Yesterday I wore full finger bike gloves with glove liners underneath and my fingers stayed pretty warm.

Louis Garneau Windtex Gloves: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes..._1015275_-1___ Love these things!

Go for the men's though- the women's sizing is very screwed up, and even a size larger is too small for me.

Actually, last Spring, I picked up a pair of mid-weight Castelli gloves from Bonktown. I think they are like these - but last year's version. They seem to be good for days when it's too warm for the Am-Fibs, but too cold for the light weight gloves (the "just fleece liners under bike gloves" option).

Thanks for the suggestions, 7 and Becky! Hmmm...I should probably be working but instead, I'm searching the internet for new gloves and toe covers But I decided that if I show up at work and I'm frozen, I can't work because I'm too cold so searching for appropriate biking gear is my priority today.

I'll have to check out glove liners but I have a feeling that the gloves that I am wearing are too snug to fit any liners underneath them.
