Cold weather gear
Dec 28th, 2010, 1:58pm
 
OK my cold weather gear is in drastic need of replacement or upgrades. I have the uppers taken care of, but I need a new winter helmet, new cold weather gloves, and more tights. Finding gloves that fit in this area and are also warm enough is well-nigh impossible. I found some over at Harbor Freight, but by the time I could gather up the shekels to get them they were sold out. Since I ride for transportation not riding is not an option, I have to be somewhere and I need to ride my bike to get there. So, looking for cheap sources for gloves and/or tights to keep me from freezing this winter, I have a budget of $100 and $50 of that will go to the winter helmet.

I'm considering taking my woolie gloves and using them as liners in some gloves I saw like that (leather shells) at Harbor Freight if I can't get warm gloves as one piece. Smiley

OK, if I send you some $$, could you order the ski gloves in (I think ) XL? I don't have a credit card to use on the InterWebs. (Don't everybody say yes  Smiley )

Perfect, I needed more clown  costuming Smiley Smiley With all the ANSI Safety Lime and ANSI Safety Orange clothing I have and the bright red shorts I got to go with the RBENT jersey and provide pockets in the winter, what's a pair of red gloves? Just another splash of color.
