As for Vancouver, buying a set of MEC's neoprene cycling/

=v= I also want to give props to Pearl Izumi's "lobster claw"
gloves, which got me through some Chicago and Omaha winters!
I have tried neoprene boot covers, and found them strangely
ineffective.
=v= Same here. They wear down much too fast!
I have the lobster claws and they are indeed very good.
However, this winter I went to my local outdoor supply
store (a very good one) and bought some large wool mittens
which the store owner said was their warmest handwear.
Bought some leather mittens to go over them as a shell and
have found them much warmer than the "claws". Of course
mittens will generally always be warmer than gloves, even
three fingered ones.
But everything has a penalty and mittens don't give much in
the way of manual dexterity. Aside from some clunky gear
shifting, they have been quite adequate (and a lot cheaper
than the "claws").
