if you have bad circulation already then it doens't help that much  :(

Yup.  I can be burning my back and neck and freezing my fingers/toes at the same time. :-\

well, that would have helped. I suggest you start smoking and lose even more circulation, so you can then quit, which will give you a feeling of more circulation.

Or I could just stick my hands and toes in the freezer for a few minutes before I leave so that they feel warmer when I'm on the bike. ;D

It doesn't get as cold here as some of you, mid-high 40's when I leave the house.  But my fingers are pretty cold by the time I get to work.
Has anyone had experience with these phase change material gloves?

Now that's thinking outside the box.  You should be a manager for the company I work for.

Not that brand, but here's a very positive review of the Lee Parks version containing the phase change material.

Just bought some ForceField Climate Control liners from Kneedraggers $30, waterproof, windproof, breatheable etc etc etc. My fingers are still frozen. I have Alpinestar DryStar gloves, work great till it hits 30 and below. Gees, I thought these liners would work well. Guess I need some new top gloves since that's where it all starts. Recommendations?

I use Gerbings heated gloves and have had them out in as low as 12 degrees for my 1/2 hour+ ride and they work great.

Heated grips help, but don't keep your finger tips warm.
