With a slight chill in the air it is time for me to think about winter gear.

Will the Under Armour Cold Gear Liner Gloves fit under my Joe Rocket leather gloves ???

I like the smartwool liner gloves - they're great! They definitely are liners, and will snag on things if worn as a normal glove.

They insulate very well - you can touch a hot motor case and not even feel it through the liner.... it'll keep heat from moving (out or in). NOT windproof.

for synthetic fibers, I get the cheapest thinnest things REI carries, as my winter gloves block wind already. Not as warm, but very thin and good in a pinch.

NOTE: with heated grips, the smartwool is no good because it keeps the warm grips from ever getting to your hand... the synthetic fiber liners don't have this problem.

Thank you very much sir. I will look into those gloves as well.

Costco here in Ottawa and I assume other places where people ski for fun when the roads are covered with snow have some gloves with a zipper pocket on the back to allow for a heat pad. For $20 CAD they are a great deal and if you can stay on your bike for as long as the heat pads last at 8 to 14 degrees C as predicted for this weekend..........hats or should I say helmuts off to you.
