Either way, have fun at TI assuming you are going.<br /><br />Drew-The Dogwoods are much better constructed for one. Also, they have built in supports so that they do not sit on your hands so easily causing you to sweat on/into the pogie. Next, they have a nice system to attach to the end of your bars, the cheapos have none. Also, they have an adjustable gusset that your arm goes into. If it is warmer the opening can be large, if colder you can easily cinch it up. I have yet to cinch. Also, for some this matters; they are made in America.<br /><br />Charly Trihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671621186016277975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34271173.post-63528020828257233542013-01-08T15:40:47.630-06:002013-01-08T15:40:47.630-06:00Good post!

I will at times throw on a rain jacket, but only for the very coldest weather we see, never in my shoes.<br /><br />What is better about those bar mitts?

I always felt the bottoms of my feet is where I had the most problem, so doubling up the insoles couldn't hurt. I may experiment with one insole and another thick sock, but I last year I found 2 insoles to work better and thinner sock. Again, experiment and try fr yourself.Charly Trihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671621186016277975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34271173.post-89151796616879692632013-01-08T12:23:11.442-06:002013-01-08T12:23:11.442-06:00Question: Is the Bellwether jacket made of plastic...Question: Is the Bellwether jacket made of plastic? Thanks for making this post since it helps and gives everyone ideas on how to dress better. The 45nrth insoles are supposed to be pretty good also. <br />Ari Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083766829086663770noreply@blogger.com
