    The lobster covers tuck inside a little pocket when not in use, so that shouldn't be an issue.

    I wear shell mittens over wool liners and can shift and brake normally. I don't have any bikes with brifters right now, so I can't speak to that.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Those lobster gloves look nice. Having the flaps tuck into a pocket seems like a good solution. And I particularly like how they offer wrist coverage.

    Malkin, what do you wear on your hands that works? I don't have Raynaud's, but my hands are perpetually frigid, even in the middle of summer. If you have any tips I'd be grateful to hear them.

    In terms of head coverage, yesterday I lucked out and snagged an Ibex Coppi merino wool bicycling hat for 3 dollars in the used section of an outdoor gear store. Complete with ear flaps! I'm hoping to make it through this winter feeling warmer than last.

    Eh, I had to give my lobster gloves to my son. I just couldn't shift with them... it felt so weird. I am very sensitive to any changes in position/stability, so I gave up. They were really nice Craft ones, too.
