    Thanks for the find, I'll look into those gloves forsure. I have Raynauld's too, and it's just getting worse. I hate dealing with the pain when my fingers "come to". Do these gloves help with the wind? I have Gore Bikewear phantom gloves and they claim they're wind and water resistant but I don't find they work at all for me...even when it's not very cold out.

    Gosh Raynauld's. Horrible when I had difficulty unbuttoning a coat for about 10 min. when temp. outside were only -5 degrees C. Crazy. But it was frustrating, abit scary.

    Well, I dunno maybe, just maybe now I'm getting abit more acclimatized living in a different region now with much colder winters.

    My Raynauld's is not gone completely, but I don't experience same problems as I did in Vancouver.

    Next winter will be a better test, but so far, I love these. The heat wires go up each finger and the thumb individually; it makes a huge difference.

    I had them on in the car, on the highest setting and it felt too hot, but I imagine that might not be the case outside in the cold.

    They might be too thick and clunky to operate brifters because they are leather and then thinsulate and then another layer of liner. I could operate the brakes fine and I have bar end shifters, so no problem for me.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
