Thumbs up First Real Trial

OK. Last night I gave the gloves their first real trial. It was 24 F with winds out of the North at 10 MPH. I made a 16 mile ride home (at speeds of up to 70 MPH) and the gloves did their job well. Towards the end, I could tell that the rest of my body was approaching mild hypothermia because I shivered once. But my hands were just fine. If I could also get the Widder vest, I think I could ride for several hours at that temperature. Add their arm & leg chaps and who knows what would be possible. Anyway, these gloves still get two thumbs up from me.
