Stop buying gloves/lobster claws and buy a pair of Moose Mitts/Pogies I never though it would be possible to have warm hands in these temps. Yes they are a bit bulky but not overly large. Once you get use to them you don’t even notice them. I just used a thin pair of wind stopper fall riding gloves inside the mitts. Eleven miles later my digits were toasty.

I highly recommend them to anyone who rides in brutal temps. My rating 5 stars.
I got a Amex bonus card from the boss so I ordered a MTB and a Road Moose Mitt. I use bar-end shifters on two of my road bikes - I hope the road version works. At least the single speed will. I bought an electric assist MTB with Nexus 7 hub to help push my Nokians over uncleared MUP during winter. It makes sense to get a solution to cold hands to complete the package.
Tomorrow morning is an unusual low teens day; to bad I don't have the Moose Mitts now!
