frozen fingers

Well this morning's commute was my first REALLY cold (by my definition, well below freezing) commute. It was about 25 degrees F.

I used neoprene booties and my feet were toasty....but my fingers FROZE! I used my usual budget(performance brand) winter gloves AND glove liners. My fingers got numb after about 15 minutes, especially the pinky.

By the time I got to work my fingers were numb...after they warmed up they HURT...for about 5 minutes....then were ok.

Any suggestions on a budget solution so this doesn't happen again? If it matters I ride a road bike but single speed so I dont need to shift. And I don't have tons of $$ to buy fancy gear.

Doug
