Thanks for the tip on BarMitts. I hadn't seen those, and didn't know they had them fro drop bars. they look fantastic, and a much better option than another set of gloves. I think the booties with my new used-SIDI shoes will made me nice and toasty. i doubt i'll commute 20+ miles in the ice and snow, so no reason to upgrade to the nokians, but they do look fun! cheers, geoff Hey Dave,

This year I anxiously wait the cold, snow and ice. I purchased Nokian Studded tires, bar mitts, and SIDI shoes. I, like you, can keep everything warm except the hands and feet are always the challenge. I am thinking the Bar Mitts will be a great hand warmer. Peace and happy safe rides.
