I wore them yesterday for about 30 miles and did 80 miles this morning. It was about 45* when I left. I was nice and comfy warm.

Tomorrow morning will be the real test when I leave for work at 5:50 am. The weather idiots are calling for 31* :panic:

Sounds great. You should have a real knowledge on if they work or not. Hope you have good gloves too.

I have decent gloves, they're exactly like these only I paid $20 at Underground Biker right down from my house.

The waterproof cover is stored in the zippered pocket in the gaunlet of each glove. Since I have a windscreen, they seem to be OK so far.

If my hands get cold, I'll spend the coin on better gloves.

I use my snowboarding pants if it's cold, but I live in FL, so that only happens twice a year.

:iagree: Marko speaks the truth.

The weather idiots blew it again as it was 25* when I left for work this morning. The good news is the pants worked great. No bad drafts or cool spots. I highly recommend these :dthumb:

The bad news is my winter gloves suck. About 14 miles into the 18+ mile ride my hands were real cold. I was actually happy to get stuck at the red light that my bike won't trip so I could get a little warmth into my hands.

I'll be getting some better gloves this weekend.

You could invest in some grip heaters. Cheap, easy to install and work.
