I also have been riding. However, the only that gets cold is the outside of my fingers. I would like to get some heated gloves. Any suggestions? I have seen some but they mostly have the heating element in the palm of the hand and not over the back of the hand where its really needed to stop the chill of the wind from penetrating in.

go visit derf and steal his one glove. rip it in half and use it as an extra outer layer for your current gloves. should be good for at least another week.

as for my winterizing. i did the boat, the lawnmowers and the VW bug so far. probably do her bike in the next week then it's just mine left to do. tucking everything away in the garage and sitting around the fire waiting for spring.

Put some latex or nitrile gloves on first under your riding gloves. Get back with me.

I think I'm the one person where that doesn't work. I tried once and my hands actually hurt by the time I got where I was going.

I have a small, thin pair of leather gloves that work wonders, but really, any extra layer that doesnt easily pass air will do.
