I got in 20 miles but was really disappoiinted with my new gloves...my Goretex,cold weather gloves.
Yeah, right... My digits were freakin' screaming when i returned home.
Gimme a lead on some really EXTREME WEATHER gloves.
Mittens are superior to gloves. I wear a pair of gloves under a mit/glove. THe mitten part folds back to reveal my gloved hand whenever too hot, or need dexterity. Having mittens is like being able to put your gloved hands in your pocket.

Gloves alone just don't cut it in cold temperatures for me. I have ridden in single digit wind chill with these and no problems.
