Even though they were their "winter" gloves, they didn't work. Their winters must be different than mine. My coldest ride has been -2 and the cheap mittens were still great. I sometimes bring the Gore gloves for the ride home when the mittens would be too hot, though. And the their credit, the Gore's are awesome in cold rain. They're very waterproof. So they still have a purpose in my wardrobe. Thanks for the insight, Doug!DerrickPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034165897877375002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943563221520693631.post-55375765590831078852010-02-25T17:01:43.733-05:002010-02-25T17:01:43.733-05:00Yeah, I learned the hard way as well that the warm...Yeah, I learned the hard way as well that the warmth factor doesn't always correspond to the price. I also learned that "cold" and "winter" cycling gear doesn't mean to me what it means to the marketing departments that push the expensive stuff. Cold and winter weather for the cycling companies means 40F or maybe 30F degrees. I ride in -10F and -20F. The colder it gets the fewer cycling specific peices of clothing I wear.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.com
