RE: Riding Gloves
My Thinsulate lined leather gauntlets got cold and damp in the cold, so I carried a pair of insulated deerskin suede gloves in the tail bag so I could swap them out. I don't know the science behind it, but deerskin suede is much warmer than leather. Now that I have these new insulated deerskin suede gauntlets, I will wear them first and leave the leather ones in the tail bag.

My summer deerskin gloves are so soft, they wrap easily around the handle grips. I have heard they are also more abrasive resistant than leather. Fortunately I have never had to test that.

I bought a size XL pair. The gauntlet cuff is 2 1/2 inches long from the elastic below the thumb, and 3 1/2 inches from the elastic on the back of the glove. I put my leather jacket and the gloves on and stretched my arms about. The jacket cuffs remained inside the gloves.

I will have to wait until April to give them a road test. If they are not suitable for riding, they certainly will be warm and comfortable walking the local nature trail in the winter.
