So I'll buy you a pair here and send them to you.

Racedoll, I'm a small guy so I've lived with not finding right fitting clothes all my life. I"m 24 and last year I was finally able to fit 32 waist jeans, instead of fitting between sizes. LOL

I have girly sized hands so finding gloves that fit are really important to me. I like tight fitting gloves (bad idea for winter gloves I know) so I can feel things. It irritates me to wear big gloves. Even work gloves being to big get on my nerves.

Maybe someday we'll be wearing some nanosuits and dont have to worry about bulky clothes.

Maybe it's a Japanese thing (since they are smaller people), but Kushitani gloves are the best fitting ones for me. They are mens and a little long in the fingers, but for the most part fit me really nice. The best fitting gauntlet style with all the protection I wanted.

I bought a pair of Teknic gauntlets and the fangers are about half an inch too long.

I'll probably just sell them off.

That's a very nice offer, and I appreciate it, but...

If it drops into the mid to low 60s I need thermals and my hood. I am a baby when it comes to the cold.

Right now we're in the cold jacket in the morn and hot jacket after work. It's like two seasons every day here.

layers...

thermals top and bottom
ski socks
+
t-shirt +pajama pants or pair of gym pants that are multi layered
+
Jeans
+
turtle neck long sleeve shirt
+
fleece
+same old AlpineStars jacket I wear year round
+
same old boots I wear year round
+
my old pair of Olympia Windtex gloves
+
this facemask thingy I don't wear too much because it's aggravates fogging on my glasses

It's been awhile since I did some cold weather riding but I'd have no problem riding into the 30's with that set up.

Since I switched to morning rides, hitting black ice at 6am just doesn't seem fun anymore.
Could be because I'm a little older.
could be because I suck at Ice riding
