So I bought $65 dollar mittens with liners at Dicks the other day. I biked today, and even in the ride in (usually no problems with walmart gloves) my thumb was freezing. On the way home it was no better, and the front four weren't exactly warm either. (12-18 F)

Are hand warmers my only option? I dont like the idea of spending money on disposable things like that, but pogies dont work well with barcons and drops.
