Cold weather and gloves

[redxblack]

I rode in this morning with the Fieldsheer eskimo gloves. It was 42 degrees f and I have a 38 mile commute, mostly freeway. My average freeway speed was 70 mph, total commute was 40 minutes.

They were a HUGE improvement over my regular short cuff summer gloves, but not a big difference from my $12 ski gloves. After half an hour, my fingers were beginning to feel the chill. By the time I got to my destination, my hands were cold. The gloves are bulky and it was a little strange using them on the clutch and brake. I felt like I had Mickey Mouse's hands on my wrists.

I'm going to give them another AM commute run later this week w/ the overlining in use. I don't think it will make much difference, but we'll see.

got my gerbings today will write up a review when i test them out.


meanwhile here is a teaser review.

This pic was taken 3 minutes after turning it on.



its pretty consistent so with the wind ripping heat away, i think it will have no problems staying at 130degrees as advertised.

the only thing i dont like is the fact that there is 100grams of thinsulate. its too thick.... i wish they were more liek summer gloves that had a stupid amount of heat. but im happy. the palm is cold though... thats my main complaint.

I'm going to look into some RevIt Fahrenheit gloves. I tried a pair at the shop and loved them, but they didn't have my size. These were too small.

I was looking at a pair of Farenheit or Tempest gloves. I ended up going for the Tempest H2O but it's not water proof like I had hoped.   They've got the super absorbent liner and are nearly impossible to put back on if your hands get wet like when you tank up. Even sweating a lot makes them difficult to put back on. They are decent for cold though. I wanted rain and cold weather gloves so these didn't work out for me.

I wwear silk liners under my Held Galaxy gloves and I'm absolutely warm and toasty without being too club-handed.  I can stick the liners in my jacketpocket and put it on when the temp drops unexpectedly..
