On a few recent early-morning rides, I've found myself toiling away in temperatures as low as -3C and grimly trying to keep my fingers from going numb.
After all these years, I still haven't found a set of gloves that can really protect my fingers down to temperatures just below freezing. I've owned five or six brands/types that claimed to be good down to -5C, but none were particularly effective once the temperature dipped below about 2C. The only options I haven't tested out are lobster-style mitts and pogies. I suspect the former won't offer enough dexterity, and the latter will do irreparable damage to my credibility .
On one ride last week, I wore two sets of gloves, inners and thick gloves over the top, but it still wasn't enough to keep the 0C winds at bay.
Is there anyone here who, like me, has poor circulation and has found a set of gloves that keep their fingers toasty even in the most frigid conditions? I've been looking into heated gloves, like these, but some of the reviews make me worry they'll be just as disappointing as everything else I've tried.
