Default Gloves (sort of) ...I think I'm on to something

I just picked up a pair of these to try out. I went for a 30 min ride in about 50 degree temps. I was totally comfortable and had plenty of dexterity. I'm looking forward to a longer ride and I'll report back

They're wind/waterproof. Synthetic leather palm and fingers. Room inside to wear a liner as well. Rated to -20 degrees! They were thick enough around the wrist to keep wind from blowing up my sleeves too!

Yup, we used to call them 'lobster mits'.....work almost as good as ice-climbing gauntlet mittens. Both work better than insulated motorcycle gloves.

I have a pait of gauntlet mitten shellls but I can't ride with them...way too clumsy. These would be absolutely perfect if they were gauntlets!

Yea, it gets cold here in Tennessee too, but that is what those heated gloves are for. They were not cheap but were among the best investments I've made for riding.
