You
might have noticed yesterday was bloody freezing. It prompted me to
ride to work looking like the Michelin man, doubling up on tights and
with 4 tops on! It was also the prefect opportunity to try out my
Columbia Titanium Omni-Heat gloves. I think they are a pre-production
line but hopefully they will be available soon. Despite my Garmin
recording a temperature of -2 when I set off my hands were toasty for
the whole ride! I don’t think the gloves made any windproof claims but
they definitely did the job! They are not designed specifically as bike
gloves but they are thin enough and flexible enough to make using the
controls easy and have a nice big non-slip pad on the palm for a secure
grip. Now I just need to get some for my feet because they were like
blocks of ice. I just about had to melt them out of my shoes!
For more information on the ‘Omni-Heat Technology’ go to: http://www.columbia.com/Omni-Heat/Science_Omni-Heat,default,pg.html.
Alternatively, if you don’t really care about Omni-Heat it’s worth
checking out the link anyway, just for the ‘talented’ girl in the
bikini!
