• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

ive looked for a good set of gloves after the kafuffle of last year.
i require waterproof windproof up to 70mph in the freezing rain.

im set up to do the exeter trial wich is 18 hours and runs through the night, i plan on packing light so one set of gloves ideally.

Please help ive looked at fox polar paws, neoprene ones but im not too sure.

reviews an suggestions welcome. car is a no no people
 
I would pop into your local sail boarding / surfing type of shop and see what they have to offer, I use Oneil neoprene items in the depths of winter and have always had nice toasty dry fingers even after a day in the rain !
Hope the ride goes well :thumbsup:
 
I have tried every winter glove in the book, including big ski gloves... My favorite combination is grip heaters (around $35 a set here), and Moose elephant ears... I can wear standard MX gloves in the snow with soaking wet hands, and still have them warm.
 
ive used heated grips, had elements burn out due to crappy watertightness. i had insulated ones and waxed leather overmitts but they leave cack on grips and bulky. looking like i will take a hit on neoprene, i dont have local surf shop being in midlands theres not much call for them.
will trawl interweb for sexy glove reviews
 
I use heated grips and have some MSR elephant ears. I learned the hard way to not get the HGs that have the external ceramic resistor.
Here is a shoot out for MSR, Moose and Giant loop elephant ears. I may step up for a new set of GLs.
 
Any 'outfitter" store that sells kayaks/canoes will have neoprene gloves for paddling as will also most stores that sell hunting clothing will also. They will offer no impact protection but are great in the cold and wet.
