Maplins sell some heated ones. I have been using 3m padded ones they are a little too bulky though
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Use bikers gloves, an ex-biker gave me a set he didn't need any more and they are the warmest gloves I have (that I can still move my hands in).

Hi Dunk
I got these from a bike shop in Donny. Work a treat as they are not to thick
so you dont loose much dexterity and they keep your hands warm. Think they cost me about £25.
PS. Let me know when you want your steering wheel back and ill pop it over next time the weather is better.

I have got some Thinsulate Ski-ing gloves, had them about ten years (I think). Elasticated around the wrist with a velcro tightener and an elasticated
shroud to the rear that comes about half-way(ish) up the wrist. Lurvely and warm and very comfortable.

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I use leather flying gloves with a silk liner inner glove. You keep the dexterity for buttons etc, and your hands stay warm enough.
