I know they're not, I was just saying that what if your hands dont come out when they need to or you make a sudden movement blah blah. Still wont feel comfortable.

may have to try the nitrile glove thing. i have some in the garage anyway and my hands are still numb from riding in this morning. LOL I agree with Rangerscott hands and feet get cold as hell and fast. mid 30's when I left this morning and I was feeling it.
I've got some olympia winter gloves that are ok. not fantastic. i have thought about wearing snowmobile gloves.
