Have thick winter gloves, fingers still effing cold

Thermal liners. Put them on first and then into normal glubs.
They are thin but are very nice.

Either that or a set of Spidi Nordics. Mmmm, toasty warm!

When it was -2 last week and I rode the 35km to work at 4am I went with new winter gloves with Rain-off over gloves and turned my hot grips up to 70% (I never use 100% because they get painfully hot).
I was still able to feel the cold (no surprise when moving at 110kph through -2 degree air) but it was bearable.

Rode to Brass, stopped an hour , rode home, 9 hour ride all up. Fingers were cold after first half hour and weather wasn't really that bad.
Was wearing my new gloves, highly rated for winter wet and cold Spada Storm, also I had Merino Icebreaker gloves inside as well.

Stopped once at Moa Flat to warm hands on exhaust, but me thinks it is mind over matter as was enjoying the ride and the cold fingies didn't bother me so much, bearable

Also noticed toes getting a little cold in my new Gearnes, but as above.

I find it is a very different experience on a longer ride. On a longer ride you are having so much fun with the journey you mitigate the discomfort in your head. On a shorter ride you don't truly get cold but it seems more bitter, especially if you are commuting. Several places I have lived further than 30 mins ride. Same gear seems way colder and more bitter going 44 kms to work than 5 degrees colder to Taupo.


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

Only up to the point that you start to lose feeling in your fingers.

Or add latex gloves for the first layer against the skin. It is the wind that is cold and the latex gloves stop wind chill

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DMNTD again.
