Actually, if you think about it you can get away with some simple and well insulated mittens if you ride a single speed or fixie because you don't have any fiddly shifter bits to deal with that would require digits. Mittens will be warmer then gloves, lobster or otherwise. I too have been dissapointed with the PI lobster gloves, for me they are good in a narrow range from 20-35. Above that they are too warm and they don't breath well so my hands get sweaty, and below that they are not warm enough, even with a liner. I second the reccomendation for the Moose Mitts. I am in love with mine, third winter with them now, they keep my hands very warm and my fingers are stil dexterous underneath. Baring a nasty crash, I don't see why they wouldn't last indefinitly, so that $65 price tag will be spread out over many years of use. -- Frank Hassler Ecologist at Large _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
