Riding in the elements can be Euphoric or on a sliding scale to Downright Nasty.
The return ride to Melbourne from the 2017 meet up was the latter.
The main problem was riding the entire 11 plus hrs in pissistently heavy rain.
Wet gloves and cold to numb fingers when riding are not only shitful but unsafe.
Talked to many riders about how they dealt with this issue and what Their solution was and worked for Them .
I was looking for a solution that simply kept my hands dry and warm with minimal cost and was effective.
So...even though others found Their solution and solace in Heated Grips this was nt for me.
I scoured the interweb for plastic overgloves...that I imagine would be cheap and effective .
In desperation and on the spur of the moment before I left for the 2018 meet up I spotted my rarely used 3M Thinsulate Ski gloves.
What the heck....I ll try anything.
Wow....what a difference
No wiring..no installation.....no worry about battery drain or loading electricals....no changes to the aesthetics of the bike re oem grips.
Cost $0.00 as I already had them and on a scale of 1-10.....11.
This was My solution which works for me ... I m sure others are just as happy with theirs.
Here is something more designed for purpose I found whilst searching.
