Handguards or heated grips for winter riding

[Cliffhunt]

When winter rolls around you might find yourself torn between two options: blocking the biting wind or keeping your hands toasty warm. Perhaps you have a favorite setup that you swear by, or maybe you like to mix and match depending on the ride. We’d love to hear what keeps your hands feeling good in the chilly weather.

When I was working in the cold, I learned wind is the real killer. I just wear light gloves that block the wind pretty well, and that's usually enough. My hands stay warm without feeling too big.

Over the years, especially during those super cold mine mornings, I've tried a bunch of different things. What I found worked best was using thin, warm gloves and a good wind guard on the handlebars. That kept my hands from going numb, and I could still use the controls easily.
