Leah, If you showed up with hot broth on a cold day, I wouldn't care if you were in a housecoat and slippers. I don't have any experience with the goat gloves but I used a similar deerskin glove for motorcycle gloves down to the 30s and they were fine. My niece used to tease me for

Leah, I've been using these "gardening gloves" from Riv for many years. Granted, I live in California where 50 degrees is considered cold weather, so I can't vouch for them on rides below the 42 degrees Riv claim to be their limit. They fit kinda big/loose if you have small hands like me, and

I would not pretend not to be related. That mom looks like a badass, and every 10 and 8 year old is empowered when their mom is a badass. Hell, I'm 47 and I still feel my mom is a badass, and that feeling continues to serve me well. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Monday, November 28, 2016

Does anyone have these: https://www.rivbike.com/products/goat-gloves?variant=23335673921 I have a cheap pair of velvet gloves that are worn thin. I need a new pair and thought I'd look at Riv first. These won't win me any beauty contests, but if they were really wonderful, I'd just as soon
