Warm Hands, Warm Heart


It's that time of year again. The time of year when you wake up, check the weather, and grab your car keys on your way out the door, not even giving your poor bicycle a second glance. Sound familiar? It doesn't have to! Why is it that at the first sign of winter, we all abandon our bicycles and opt for our cars or public transportation instead?
Many people will answer simply, "it's too cold!" Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to stay warm on your bike even in the winter time. Other people might say safety is their main concern. While i don't condone going out for a bike ride in a blizzard, your bike, when outfitted properly, can handle more than you may give it credit for.
In this lens, we're going to go over some tips and tricks to help you and your bicycle survive the winter...together!
Warm Hands, Warm Heart
Now that we have our face covered, lets move down to the hands.
I have found, your hands are the hardest part of your body to keep warm. I had tried tons of gloves before I found the right combination. For me, the Ibex glove liners, coupled with Pearl Izumi's Lobster Gloves, keeps my hands nice and toasty.
I had found originally with just the lobster gloves, I was having the same issue many have with the scarf over the nose- my hands were getting sweaty, and then as they got wet, they got cold again! I was so frustrated until I found the Ibex glove liners. These are made of 95% wool, so it wicks away the moisture from your hands. With the lobster gloves on top, your hands will be so warm you'll almost forget you are outside!
Below you will find the links for the glove liners, as well as a few different types of lobster gloves.
