I've been wearing light knit gloves under heavy German surplus mittens with a furry interior. My thumbs get a bit cold and I can feel the wind on the back of my hand through it all. In the basement the other day, I came across a pair of moto handguards I used on a Honda Ruckus years ago.
Back when I was riding the Ruck at its top speed of 41 mph on a good downhill, my fingers froze. I tried heated grips, but they kept my palms warm while the fingers were still frosty. These extensions and the proper angle really helped.
Riveted plastic extensions
So I installed them this morning just before the ride and they worked better than a charm. Sweaty hands! Problem solved.
I arrived at school and they had plowed in my parking space. Apparently no one expects a bike in cold weather. Beautiful day.
