    Cold As ....

    I rode by the Powers Autopark tonight and the display had 33 degrees on it. It's time for some warmer gloves or heated grips.

    I don't know anything about heated grips, but I have some pretty awesome winter riding gloves that haven't let me down.

    Everyone I know who has experience with heated grips either loves them or hates them.

    I'll be riding all winter long...did it last year...it wasn't that bad, except for when it was a tad snowy on the roads.

    One things for sure, I definitely need winter gloves. Can anybody recommend any brands that rock, or specific styles that are amazing? I also need a place to pick them up close to Boulder/Denver as I never know what size gloves to get online.

    This coming from the guy that wears a MESH jacket in the winter and can only image the gloves being mesh too

    Are gloves those things that go over your hands?

    I put heated grips on this school year, and although they do make the commute at 6:30 AM more bearable, they fall short of the expectations I had. Instead of delightfully toasting my fingers, they definitely tend to be underpowered when things really get chilly. I think that a set of handguards would really make a difference...
