    I agree with SP - harden up....

    Tho I, like mangel - know what it is like riding from Upper Hutt to Wellington on a frosty morning.  Your hands thaw out at about 3pm!

    Balaclava rocks for noise - and cold I suppose.....you end up with a loose helmet in summer tho

    In Seoul, Korea I saw a lot of motorcycle couriers with large neoprene mittens mounted to the grips sort of permanently. You can just slide your hands straight in and out. I suspect they work quite well for warmth coz its gets damn cold there!

    can't comment on heated grips but can recommend thin polyprop cloves under your normal gloves(go to a bicycle shop for these)

    i spent a past life working in a meat works and while there i 'borrowed' a pair of freezer gloves, they are wool lined, totally waterproof and i've never had cold hands while wearing them.

    also i borrowed at the same time a balaclave made from thermolactyl (damart brand) that i've had for 11 years. it is warm and fits well under the helmet and it doesn't itch.

    that's my two cents worth,,,,, now, how do i cut down my electric blanket to fit my seat?mmm

    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
