Indeed. I've been loving the last few weeks here in Kentucky. There's been enough warm days to remind me that those sleeveless jerseys among my gear will actually at some point be practical.

Are iHeat glove liners still in production? Several sites which show up on Google show out of stock or unavailable.

I recommend the Roeckl Pino. I've used them down to -5C and at that point they were getting cold so I guess that's the limit

I'm using Castelli Chiro 3 gloves : To be used from +5 until -5 °c from my own experience. Above 5°, hands become to hot and start to sweat a little to much, below -5, they are OK, but you have to keep the ride intensity high enough, otherwise, your hands will get very cold.

I've been using my Castelli Estremo for the past 3-4 years. Windproof + insulated. Pretty expensive at retail but it's battle tested here in Toronto.

I recently thought of going the layering route with a couple of ASSOS gloves: Rainglove Evo 7 as my external shell + Early Winter gloves insulated glove. It might be a bit thick but I won't be using this combination while racing anyway. I can use either for their true functions as well. The combination cost me about $100USD~ (for 2 gloves that serve 2 functions I think it's an excellent deal)

Easy forgotten . . .
Cold has much more impact on a dry skin than a good moisterized one.

An extra barrier
Gloves aren't the only possible protection, though: you can add an additional layer by using a moisturising hand cream. This forms a kind of invisible glove which protects against the rigours of the weather and pampers your skin. Because of the drying effect of winter cold and wind, hand cream will need to be re-applied several times a day. The gentle massage each time can help circulation, too, and warm your fingers up. Don't forget to apply at night as well, to nourish and repair day-time damage. To avoid leaving hands feeling greasy, try and choose a formula that is easily absorbed by the skin.


(ofcourse this moisterizing thing doesn't count only for your hands but matters the skin of your total body, keep it moisterized)

I just got a pair of the Pearl Izumi lobster gloves. The lobster design really works. I have another pair of Pearl Izumi gloves with five fingers made of the same construction and material as the lobster version. The difference between the two are pretty dramatic. I also like to use chemical hand warmers, those used for skiing, and put them inside the gloves. The ones I use aren't called hand warmers but called toe warmers. They are very thin and have less chemicals than the traditional hand warmers. I stick them (they have self-adhesive glue on them) on the palms of my hands. The combination of the toe warmers and lobster gloves makes winter riding tolerable. I can ride in the low 20's F without my hands getting numb.
