That's awesome, especially since for him it'll be new stuff to see.

My trip is so far coming in at 28 days, I keep thinking I need to shorten it, but so far only 7 of the 28 days will I need to get a hotel room, the others I'll be visiting friends and family, and hopefully catching some couch space and a hot shower but a few places I'll stay a couple days, like seeing Ebbs up in CO and G-rex in ok (hopefully) since I've got several family members in that vicinity too. Kathy on here might go with me for some of mine, but so far it's a solo trip.

I'm sure it helps to start with a great pair of gloves though, so take that for what it's worth.

The two pairs I rotate through are 1) BMW Atlantic gore-tex gloves, and 2) Gerbing T5 heated gloves.

I'm yet to have wet hands, ever, in over 200,000 miles with the combination or either of these gloves.

Reviews are good. Getting the right reviews are better.
Thanks hun, definitely a good review.

My new pants and gloves were supposed to be delivered today, but now UPS says no info available due to something about weather. It was 80 degrees here yesterday, what in the world are they talking about...
