• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Cold weather riding gloves.

OK, I am looking for some cold weather gloves which don't sacrifice too much feel. The ones I have keep me warm,but compromise the operation of the throttle and brake due to bulk and lack of feel. I appreciate the feedback.
 
I have had issues with cold hands for years. I've tried many different kinds and brands of gloves. Snowmobiling in the winter is the real issue, but fall motorcycle riding with no heated grips is bad too. I'll be getting the grips on for next year. The best gloves I have come across are the Knox Outdry armored gloves. The waterproofing is one of the outer layers instead of next to your hand and this keeps some material between your hand and the water, allowing for more heat retention. They are leather, have plastic armor and look great. I've used them on my sportbike in cooler weather and manual dexterity is much better than any other cold weather glove I've tried. I'm really looking forward to using them on my sled this winter. I have a feeling they will outperform the expensive snowmobile gloves I have.
 
What works pretty good for me is the combo of hand guards and heated grips. It allows for using thinner gloves for the dexterity and still keeps them pretty warm. I want to try the Powerlet heated glove liners so I have a choice of gloves to use. It got a pretty recommendation for the Powerlet liners from another member here.

I plan on putting heated grips on the Husky but don't want to put them on my Ducati, nor hand guards.
 
A secret is to use the elephant ears to keep wind and rain off the gloves in the first place, but if you cant sacrifice looks i was talking to a policeman and he swore blind silk gloves under any glove is the best for heat retention and dry, wind resistant the whole 9yards!
So silk gloves under usual ones you own
 
I have expensive Klim gloves. The gloves where you can put your hand into the liner or in front of it. The Knox Outdry are much better.
