    Well... They were gloves actually, but he still took them. :p When the oldest was home for Thanksgiving, he mentioned that he was doing really well with rain gear on the bike in Oregon- except for his hands.

    He tried on my Giro waterproof gloves that I used last winter and they are now in Oregon...

    The Giros were OK, but not great. They were completely waterproof, but my hands still got cold when the temps were below 30. With all of the broken and cut off fingers over the years, my hands are the first thing to get cold...

    Any recommendations?

    Cut the rest of your fingers off so they aren’t able to get cold? :p

    I use the Pearl Izumi PRO softshell WXB 3x1 gloves.
    They are a water/wind proof insulated outer, with a thin inner liner glove. Both can be worn separately, hence the 3×1.
    Going on their 3rd year now so they are durable but they are expensive about $120

    You live in Socal. If you're riding in 30 degree temps I think you're doing something wrong. :p

    It’s called night rides in the Santa Ana’s.

    A cold, but fantastic time to be out there.

    That looks quite similar to the gloves I saw at the Pearl outlet. I had gloves at the time, so didn't look too hard!

    I may go back and check them out...

    easy peasy lemon squeezy..... ditch your "winter" gloves and just wear normal gloves. BUT! First put on some disposable latex gloves AND THEN your normal gloves over them. I promise your nubby fingers wont get cold. They will be quite toasty. You can buy a box of 100 pair at CVS for like 5 dolla..... HOLLA!!!!!

    Yeah, but then you are swimming around in sweat filled rubber gloves. I’ve tried it....didn’t like the feeling.

    I used to use Wells Lamond leather work gloves with various wool liners for foul weather. The leather gloves had to be rubbed with Sno-Seal or similar wax to waterproof.
    The best liners are the silk ones made for cold weather sports like cross -country skiing. Xc skiing also has a lot of gear that translates well to mtb: adverse weather and high output aerobic activity

    keep on guessing.


    cut it off on my bike chain when i was 8 yrs old. i had just tightened my chain. I was riding my bike, and while coasting i bent down and was checking the tension of the chain with my hand. I started to go to slow, so i started to pedal. My finger followed the chain into the front sprocket. yanked it out about 1/2 around and ran home screaming while blood was squirting out like a broken hydrant. luckily it happened on easter sunday and we had about 20 family members over. So my mom and aunt rushed me to the er. the finger as cut off at an angle and the bone was severely splintered. so, they took it down to the knuckle. Chicks dig it... in more ways than one. :inlove: but, i can't throw a regular size football for shite. HOWEVER, i can throw a nerf turbo football like it's nobodies business but mine.

    Hah, I was thinking it was one of a million construction mishaps like everyone else I know with a nub. No! This is the badge of a hardcore cyclist. :notworthy::notworthy:

    I'm pushing back on that. It's way better than a chainring scar.

    I'd get a tat of a bike chain on one side and teeth on the other. HCFL
