Went by Wally world and got me a new pair of Wall's blizzard bibs. Got them in the wash to loosen them up and will have them on tonight. All week long is going to be a cool ride home.

I'm going back to El Kidd tomorrow and get a better pair of gloves. Everything was okay EXCEPT the gloves. Why did the fellow with electric clothes go buy bib coveralls?
Anyway, did everyone do okay going home on cold night #1? It is 34 degrees here, wind chill at 19 at 60 mph.

Other than fighting with the face protector causing my glasses to fog up when I breathed, it was a nice ride home.

The bibs were for work, unless you want to park the work truck next to my planes, so I can run an extension cord from it and work. I saw 32 on top of 373/45, on Hwy 25, and on Craig Springs road. Should have switch over to the full face; my chin got pretty cold in the open face. Also, got the dig out the gaters; had wind up the pants leg, and after an hour, didn't like that. The suit works great - ran it on low the entire way and that was enough.

I found battery operated ones for $25-40, but I haven't found any so far which use a 12V outlet. Still looking. Wonder if Wood and Water would have anything? Didn't know to look a few weeks ago.
The gloves you gave me really helped but because the gauntlets are tight anyway, I found the set up restricting movement.

31 was the low I saw last night. Bonehead, I got those mittens in the bike - I think that will solve the cold fingers!
