| I've tried ebay, but the cheapest is the grip wrap around for $50, my finger tips especially the thumb gets painfully cold at high speeds. |

http://www.gerbing.com/Products/Gloves/liner.html $79.95 You would need waterproof/windproof gloves to put the heat glove liners in ... that is the route I am going. |

| I have a pair of waterproof gloves with fleece liners that do a good job of keeping my hands which are very sensitive to cold comfortable riding in temps down to freezing. I don't often ride in temps below that due to the risk of ice. Been dumped on bikes twice on ice and don't want to repeat that. |

| My husband uses 'hippo grips'. He has poor circulation in his hands, and now he rides in cold weather with no problems. You can find a description at http://www.hippohands.com. You'll probably find them less expensively online.
