As an addition to my previous post, I also
wear polypro glove liners, even without any additional gloves. This knit
material is terrific; even if it gets wet my hands still stay warm. have
worn all three items, T-neck, glove liners, and socks on Death Valley rides in
December.
Since my business has me working 12 hour days during the summer I ride a
lot during the winter in western Michigan. I keep my core warm with a
tight fleece vest then a looser fitting fleece jacket then a coat to cut the
wind. I can unlayer as I warm up. To keep my hands warm I tuck a
BIG pair of double layer wool mittens in my vest to keep them warm.
While riding I use those stretchy knit gloves under leather work gloves.
When things get to cold- which I find isn't until we start to cool
out- I just remove the leather putting them in the vest and slip my
gloved hands in the mittens. When it is wet I keep a second pair of the those
little knit gloves in my vest to keep dry. The winter is a wonderful
time to ride I have many of the trails to myself and have seen great
wildlife.
