Oxford Hotgrips aren't really any bigger than standard...

HG Pathans (2 finger ones) are very good. I'm sure there's better out there now, it's a pretty old design, but they're reasonably priced, not too bulky, and warm.

In winter, I wrap my levers in self-amalgamating electric tape... Don't know whether it's psychological or real but it does seem to make a difference, those levers get cold after all.

I didn't think it was too bad today, i got my winter gloves out (Alpinestars Jet Road) to wear, but ended up wearing my summer gloves (Alpinestars Tech Road) anyway because it was so mild, out for about 2 hours hands where fine.

THe Jet Road is a cracking winter glove though if a little pricey.

How do you know ? :wink:
Actually spent most of the day trying to fall off by locking the back wheel all over the place and generally riding like a complete numpty. :oops:

Actually I'm looking at my winter gloves now, even though I've had them over a year they still look brand new as I hardly wear them as my "Summer" gloves are so good.

I've even worn the Tech Road's snow boarding and my hands still didn't get cold, clever stuff this Gore-Tex.

I am as hard as nails though :lol:

My hands still get cold in the Jet Roads, in fact I wear them all year round cos my hands never stay warm. Wasn't out on the bike today. :(
