" ... You guys recommend any winter gloves for riding that allows you to keep some dexterity (not too thick)?
Winter Gloves/dressing.
Try looking at hunting/Ice fishing items at a Hunting/Ice fishing store.
A big Motorcycle store would probably have some of the same things.
But they just buy the Hunting/Fishing ones in black (From the SAME suppliers in China) and mark them up... MORE.
If I need to dip my hand through a hole in the Ice onto the water...
I need the totally Waterproof insulated Neoprene ones.
Hunting, a wind proof Thinsulate glove.
Also there are total waterproof socks, and insulated ones.
There are various kinds and thickness out there.
Of course, there is still the ‘old’ trick... ‘Panty Hose’.
Whitey Tighties, Panty Hose, Long Underwear, Pants.
Just adding the panty hose, will keep you a LOT warmer.
For Years, always used the panty hose material, in just the socks.
Unbelievable, how much warmer that is.
foot, PH sock, cotton or wool, light or heavy sock, (depending on temp), then boot.
And remember, Wool, it WILL keep you warm, when you are wet.
The new, gor-tex, things, Only work for a while.
I remember, 20+ years ago. After 10 hours in a field watching dogs,
(looking forward to 2 more days of doing that)
Got back to the motel, getting ready to out to dinner with the Committee.
my roommate laughed at me !
I looked at him, and said:
“Your feet got cold this afternoon didn’t they”.He sheepishly nodded. I threw him an ‘egg’, (that's how they are packaged).
He wore them the next two days. And still does today.
