I got a pair of handlebar 'pogies' a few years ago and haven't looked back.. every cyclist around me is wearing gloves except me..i don't have to put them on until it gets below freezing, even then since the pogies are rubberized sometimes i'm pulling my gloves of..when it's down to -10C then it's glove time, but i don't have to wear thick/heavy gloves..i can even toss a chemical heater into them for added warmth. With my rain cape and pogies, sometimes I feel i'm in some kind of weird self propelled car lol..
