I have pretty nasty Raynaud's syndrome so Pogies are pretty much mandatory for me if it is much below 40F.   I often stuff an XL adhesive "hot hands" pouch in each one as well.  The combo of a thinner glove + pogies + the hot hands packet works better than any one glove i've come across aside from obnoxious ski gloves.    I may try some heated grip elements on my MTB grips this year or grab some heated gloves for road&mtb.


the one big disadvantage of hot hands as you know is they require oxygen, so once you get them going/saturated and throw them inside a neoprene overboot they poop out and don't last nearly as long as something electric. it's more of an emergency item, not a sustainable solution for long rides.

Got one of these cheap base layers and they are heavy! compared to something legit like cutaway.
still works but meh.

Please quantify. The thought of weighing jerseys and choosing them based on weight never crossed my mind
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.
