Cold Hands? My $27 solution worked...
#22
had a set of (scooter mittens) type hand protecters in the late 50's on my uncles knuckle that I learned to ride on. look strange but shure are warm. think ill get a set. wont be any uglier than some of the crap I see on bikes these days.

Got a pair of lined leather gauntlet gloves from HD I've been wearing for 16 years. A pretty penny, but they feel good and keep the hands warm. Ride in any temps as long as there is no ice on the road. No cold hands.

stay warm
A couple sizes available and all work great. Rolled out of Alturas, ca. this time a couple years ago and the temp was 14 degrees. Loaded warm packs in helmet, Gauntlet Gloves, front and back of hands, all pockets, including shirt pockets or pinned to t shirt, keeps the chest warm, warmers in between layers of socks, both sides of the ankles. A newspaper in between chest layers will save your ***. Might need newspaper to wrap lower legs also, under your riding gear.
By the time I hit Redding the layers and heat packs started to disappear after a toasty ride from a frozen area.

Indeed they work very well, you add no "Bulk" to your regular gloves... For me putting them on the bike when it's cold is a No-Brainer; but I understand the folks that don't like the look & would never use them... I don't care much for the cold, the discomfort far outweighs the "Look" IMO

This is my second year with the hippo hands!! I really dont care about looks when its 30 degrees and your bundled up looking twice the size as you really are. I ride regularly in 30 degree temps on the interstate with just a pair of 99 cent brown jersey gloves and my hands stay nice and warm I wouldnt even need gloves if it werent for the coldness of the metal levers and such. I would recommend Hippo Hands to anyone.
