I wondered how they'd work. Trouble is my hands sweat so bad in them. We use them at work a lot.

Harbor Freight sells them "doctor gloves" pretty cheap, I buy a few boxes a year cause' I don't like to get my hands dirty anymore.

And they do make good insulators against the cold.

or you could use these, they are a bit larger

Haven't tried them in the winter yet, just got them last summer. They would be a lot easier to explain at the ER. Or they may keep you out of the ER.

The trick is.... to put on a thin pair of cotton or nylon gloves, then the vinyl or nitrile glove over them, then your main pair.
Of course your hands feel like balloons, but they will be warm

I rode today in a T-shirt... and if I was a florida weekend warrior Harley rider, I would have added shorts and flip flops.....

So..... If you ride a Savage you can get away with wearing no pants or shoes? That sounds reasonable. Tongue

Aboutthe winter riding gear. You need to buy proper winter gauntlets for riding. Good ones have armour in the right places and usually a visor wiper on one finger.
Has anyone tried pure merino wool thermals? They are amazing. Pretty spendy but when you've used them you realise they are so worth it.

They last a very long time and if you catch them on sale in spring they can be bought for $15- $20. They are very lightweight, warm and not in the least itchy.
