All,
This is the first winter where I've cycle commuted to work (last year I chickened out when it was even slightly cold as I didn't have the gear). I'm happy with the long leg bib, base layer, top, jacket, overshoes, and skull cap I wear but this morning it was -3 and it was so cold that my fingers were sore and so numb they were almost unusable. I currently wear a light pair of running gloves under a standard pair of cycle gloves.
Can anyone suggest a change that might make my fingers more comfortable or is this something I must endure if I'm to cycle at 0600 in Scotland during the winter.
