True. Well In that case send me your bike and I'll get it back to you when the gloves get fully tested.

lucky yall who still ride.
we got 4-6 inches of snow here and its still snowing everyday here little by little. the roads are like a sheet of ice. its pretty bad. i had to switch out to my 4x4 suv but i rode for as long as i could.
on the last evening before the snow fell i rode my bike to a store and everybody was looking at me like i'm crazy. maybe because i parked it inside the store kinda lol right where they keep all the shoping carts there. but it was like 10degrees below freezing point that evening.

Good for you man, I get those looks too, & people ask "too cold to ride that thing isn't it?"
& then again in summer "to hot for all that leather right??"
All this wisdom from people who have never been on a bike let a lone owned one.

I rode all year round this last year- snow and all. Under-Armor, Balaclava, heated vest and grips worked out pretty good. I think I'll pass this year though. No sense in bundling up like the little bro in A Christmas Story when I can be toasty warm in my truck and actually seek out the snow instead of just trying to get from point A to point B. Not to mention all that sand, salt/de-icer stuff they throw down, depending on how much you're riding around in all that crap, it gets all over the place and can be a pain in the ass to get all of it out/off your bike.

Lol. I've not been cold enough to just ride right into the store! Usually just park on the sidewalk by the door.
