Would appreciate any help. My commute has recently lengthened, and the near- or sub-zero weather is tough. Of course I don't want to give up having a GOOD GRIP on the handlebars, be able to actuate brakes with reasonable control (without losing grip), and (optionally) be at least somewhat water repellant. Already have ski gloves, grab-ons....they're not enough. One person has suggested that the pressure brought on by the normal 45-degree position reduces blood flow in the hands. Ideas, anyone??
