Has anyone tried these to help keep their hands warm? BreezeBlockers - Hand and foot shields for cyclists.

That thing seems nice. I tried many "windproof" gloves, included 2 gloves on top of the other and motorbike winter gloves... But my fingers still become blue with the strong cold wind at 0C.

Maybe this thing could be the right solution? Going to email them to see if they do it for brompton and if it's efficient at 0C with strong wind

Does it work when it's so cold the usual london rain become ice, and the strong wind just pierce through multiple layer of windproof gloves?

If so, I'd be interested on the link for a quick purchase lol

I use these gloves, these socks and these boots.

You won't suffer cold hands or feet in any weather that is thrown at you.

I bet my fingers would still freeze in those when it goes sub-zero. Thick neoprene diving gloves (under outer fleece gloves) are the only thing which has worked for me when actually put to the test. Trouble is they're a bit tight across the base so I stay warm but get cramps instead so only wear them when absolutely cannot do without .

Fleece balaclava and ski goggles giving zero skin exposure. Cheap but extremely effective. Thin fleece under my hi-vis jacket. Blazewear heated gloves (all 5 digits) with lithium batteries. BBB Hardwear shoe covers for when it's snowing. I'm good to about -20C.

Oh, they'll work fine as the principle has been proved for years on motorcyles, with brush guards on the bars. Not as good as full muffs, but effective enough at lower speeds.
