This. I definitely don't have his skills... and even if I had, it would be a bad way to go on public roads

...Hippo Hands - I love those things and wish I had used them 20 years ago! I wear light leather gloves in them and my hands stay warm and dry. On really cold days (like this morning) I slip a Little Hottie handwarmer in each glove and my hands are toasty...
I had a pair of something similar. They definitely worked around freeze point, the only problem that they weren't stiff enough. I'd have needed hard plastic handguards on the handlebar to keep the hand bags away from the brake and clutch levers they always kept under pressure because of the wind
