Looking to find a solution for 40-55 degree riding. Don't want thick gloves as i loose touch with the controls. Would handlebar muffs work? Perhaps with light gloves? Ideas? Know of any ,warm but not too thick gloves?

Look at the Baker Hand Wings. My ride to OKC was 8 hours at 48-50 degrees and I wore my summer gloves with heated grips and grip dogs. I know the heated grips do wonders, but the BHWs knock every bit of wind away from your bear claws.
+1. That combination- Hand Wings and heated grips have added many, many miles to my cold weather riding! :yes:Quote:

i will definitely check out the Baker Wings. Unfortunately, I didn't get the deluxe so no heated grips for me.
Thanks to all!
You can always add heated grips !!!Quote:

I think the owners of Hippo Hands retired a couple of years ago and shut the business down. I always heard they were a good product.Quote:
