Is it to early to start talking about cold weather?

The one thing I hate about wearing a liner/overglove collabo is that I usually pull my gloves off to operate a phone. That operation is annoying when only the overglove comes off (or both come off but the liner gets mussed up inside and are a PITA to get my hand back into). Maybe one of those liners above is a good solution?[/quote]

My gf got me touch screen thread for my birthday, going to try to sew it into some of my cycling gloves this weekend and I will report back.

you DO NOT need liners in these AT ALL, not just because of the powerful warmth, but they already have fleece on the inside

I’d say they max out around 50F and are probably good down to -10F

if it was cold enough to overpower them (like being a deckhand in the arctic or some shit) you can get the fully dipped ones

I recently lost one of my original pair, and just bought a pile of them in multiple varieties from an industrial supply house

103

whoa, those look like the ultimate!

If you’re lookin’ for DIY inspiration, here are some homemade bar covers:

You have two ham bieks?

106

Sadly no. It’s a friend’s bike, and the other likely belongs to a friend of his.

How big are these? I see they only seem to make medium, large, and xl, but they sound interesting…

108

the medium fits my salad fingers pretty well, but yours are undoubtedly tiny and birdlike

they do make small versions of almost all models, but amazon doesn’t stock much

I have a big shipment of a whole bunch of different models coming from them on tuesday

I got extras of these in small and large for shits and giggles: http://www.fullsource.com/work-gloves/performance-gloves/memphis-gloves-n9696/

Iff’n you have heaps, can you hold some in a ~medium sizeway for me to trade for batrape?

So it’s been freezing foggy/icy every morning for the last few days. Not that cold, but just frozen over in random, inopportune places that you don’t see until you’re right on them.

Can anyone recommend some hockey pads, or perhaps a foam suit, that can be comfortably worn on a bicycle?

I think it’s spelled C-A-R. I’ve been getting a lift from the wife-taxi to the ferry in the morning, and then riding in the traffic lane as necessary through downtown. This morning I thought I was safe to ride, and now I have bruises and some scraped bar tape.

112

I must be lucky. I can count on every drop of water being frozen solid.

I was so glad to see the streets were wet this morning.

115

That is the absolute worst shit. Ride on the road.

116

Yeah, it was terrible. Haven’t felt very comfortable taking the lane or even near it this winter. People been driving like ass buzzing me.

[quote=aerobear]Snotty, I resent your assumption that I’m not already wearing wool socks.

I’m riding 3-5 hours, lowest temps around 27-30. I can only for thinner wool socks in my cycling shoes, so booties are a must.

Toast. Gore booties do run huge. I’m using the 39-41 size and its fine for length in my size 43 shoes.[/quote]

I went through a set of PI AmFib booties and replaced them with the Bonty jawns. I usually use a medium-weight merino wool sock with the booties over my road shoes. I went with a size larger than my shoes, and I’m much happier trying to get them on/off.

I have yet to take them to that level, but I am certainly less than impressed with them. Maybe it’s my fat knuckles, but even then larges feel tight, and not super warm as Fred seemed to claim.

Then I got Amy’s wool defeets and larges have extra material the tips and appear thin. Maybe we’ll see tomorrow as we drop from 50 to 30 and lower as the day goes on.

I personally would have brought gloves I knew would work and ninja’d those on halfway through. Losing a pinky is serious stuff. Hope you are alright and don’t have white splotches on it worse.
