+1000 Call them Pogies, Climmits, etc. Why got through the trouble of wearing heavy gloves that are going to get sweaty. I used Gortex gloves my 1st year. They were OK, but the real problem is that they would always get clammy, the close you get to 32F the worse the problem got. With my Climmits (from SideTrak... sadly they appear not to be in business anymore), I can wear a light pair of full fingered gloves from Fall all the way to Spring. Once the temps drop consistantly below 40F the Climmites go on. You have the comfort of being able to move your hands around, and you never get clammy hands. The other bonus, it that your hands stay dry in the late Fall or early spring near freezing rain storms. Normal gloves get damp or outright soaked, and then you hands will turn into painful blue lumps... not fun!. On the most extreme day I might wear a set of Cyclone gloves under the porgies, but that is reserved for temps in the low single digits.

Happy riding,
André
