Re: [RBW] Half Mitts

'Nother update: if you have a thumbed-half mitt, and you want a thumbless, you can easily tuck the thumb between the back of the hand and the mitt. Easy as pie, and its there when the temp. drops. -Aaron "Thumb-Tuck-Maneuver" Young The Dalles, OR On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 5:27 PM, Patrick Moore

Re: [RBW] Half Mitts

Years ago I owned a very nice pair of winter gloves that were designed as fingerless cycling gloves with long gauntlets with a flip-over mitten cover for the fingers. The thumb remained full-length-covered. A very sensible design, IMO, tho' it too suffered from the mitten defect of difficult opera

Re: [RBW] Half Mitts

Update: Went on a short ride in low 40's-degrees weathers, plus some winds, so temps at the lowest in upper 30's perhaps. I used the new half-mitts with the thumb. I was surprised at how bulky the thumb felt, and it was a bit awkward to get the thumb out. The half mitts are nice because you can

Re: [RBW] Half Mitts

I used a thumbless pair through winter, and with a light liner type glove (with a thumb) they were just fine for my short commute. My wife knitted me some custom wool gloves based on a design I suggested that complement the half mitts nicely. They are fingerless and thumbless, but the thumb has a

[RBW] Half Mitts

Half baked, or well done? I got a pair in my last order, and they are working great for this fall transition weather. During the day, I can go bare handed, but sometimes in the late afternoons or evenings it gets chilly for bare hands. These half mitts a

Re: [RBW] Half-Mitts at 26 Degrees: Thumbs Up!

Liesl, One thing I've pondered about the half mitts is how they work if you ride with your hands on the brake lever hoods. Can you comment on that? Thanks, JimD On Dec 28, 2011, at 11:15 AM, Liesl wrote: > I got a pair of Half-Mitts for Christmas and they are swell. Rode for > an hour this mor

[RBW] Half-Mitts at 26 Degrees: Thumbs Up!

I got a pair of Half-Mitts for Christmas and they are swell. Rode for an hour this morning at about 26 degrees with them over a pair of army surplus double-layer wool mittens with leather palms. Hands were just fine. I would say better at that temperature than leather choppers with thick wool mi
