horridly lumpy, with the sweatpant leg fabric absolutely erupting out from under the bib legs’ gripper bands. Chafetown, USA.

Damn, Todd.  
I bought a Fat Caad 1 and cobrafists, and it will be 60 in central PA in the middle of Dec.  
But real talk, I haven’t seen any snow this year. Some evidently fell for a half second when I was in Cinci chilling with Turp and interviewing.

they kinda fit the same way too. they’re really just a low-cut shoe with an integrated bootie. allows for maximum ankle freedom.

Been SUPER impressed with Heritage horse-riding gloves.

[http://heritagegloves.com/Products.html](http://heritagegloves.com/Products.html)

Well constructed and sexy as hell. The deerskin winter gloves are good around the 35-45 degree range and the deep winter gloves seem to be good for 25-35. Plus they have a zipped hand-warmer/weed pocket. Can’t tell beyond that since this winter has yet to drop below that.

I love looking at my hands when wearing these things.

And they have a convenient glove-sizing chart, too. Worked perfectly for me: [http://heritagegloves.com/GloveChart.html](http://heritagegloves.com/GloveChart.html)

Did 96mi today with 6200ft elevation, it averaged 38\* F. The only time it was sunny and “warm” was up the entire 30min climb. RUDE.

I didn’t find the hi vis to fit any different; MAYBE a tad shorter of finger.

You don’t need the full dip; I think you’d lose a lot of dexterity and the terminology gives me a bad Roger Rabbit memory.

Is there somewhere locally (Portland) I might find those ninja ice gloves? I lack the patience for online shopping.
