RE: [ST] Brrrr!

["James Goldston" <jgoldston@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody.  One of the guys in our KRAT club
said he used the Olympia All Seasons (he has a heated vest but not gloves).
I went into a Harley dealership to look at them, liked them, then decided I
wanted the next colder weather gloves Olympia had.  These are the Ultimas,
see http://www.newenough.com/boots_gloves/olympiagloves.htm.  The Harley
shop did not have them.  I  liked the Ultima features and additional cold
protection.

As it turned out, I wound up going to the place my KRAT buddy originally
recommended.  I did not realize this until after the sale.  He highly
recommended them, and so far (just ordered them yesterday) I do too.

Can't wait to wear them.  I am OVER wondering if I am permanently damaging
my fingers because they hurt so much form the cold.

But, to answer your question, Rick, I bought a pair of $20 oversize gloves
from the Triumph shop and used some $0.99 inserts thinking they would help.
Not!  The gloves are still too big and not wind resistant.  Currently,
borrowing my son's textile ski gloves

You all have a good day,
James
