Thick winter gloves and forearm pump
Yesterday, when riding I got the worst forearm pump that I've had all season. I haven't had forearm pump all season. It was so bad I had to stop a couple times every mile or so. I thought it was my brake levers being too far out, but they have been adjusted that way for a few weeks and I've done some 20+ minutes DH runs. The only other thing I can figure is I was wearing thick winter gloves.
Anyone else have this problem riding in cold weather with thick gloves?
Any suggestions on gloves that are warm but thin in the palm?

take your grips off, and put skateboard grip tape in its place. it'll compensate for the extra thickness from your gloves.

I have these. i know you're in the US, but MEC's stuff is usually a knock-off from another company, so if you look around I'm pretty sure you'll find something. I think Pearl Izumi, DaKine, Sugoi, and I'm pretty sure Fox make similar gloves. I usually don't use those unless it's below freezing and they work fine down to about 19°F for biking.

Check out the DaKine White Knuckle glove. It's what I use for cold weather riding. Windproof and insulated on the back of the hand but a nice thin palm. Can't believe the cold is here already. 25 in Park City last night!

I use these. http://www.thormx.com/products/?prod...oductId=114183 They're not super warm but they're better than regular gloves. I usually layer with long underwear and fleece vest or jacket when it get really cold here.

^ Thanks for the tip on those Thors. I'm always looking for single layer gloves for bike and moto. double layer and palm padding suck!

Ironclad winter work gloves work for me until about 20* (wind/water proof, thin palm).
Your local lumberyard probably has them. Cheap too.

Wear a thin polypro glove liner under any gloves, helps immensely. Keeps the overall bulk down....
