Get some bar mitts (pogies) and you are all set. I ride these when the temps are cold with regular MTB gloves and my hands are super comfortable without the bulk of a winter glove. http://barmitts.com/

Yeah, but that was still a pretty funny comment. I'm sure Lopes is cool to chill with and has lots of great knowledge to pass on to fellow mountainbikers but the shirtless comment isn't too far from accurate.

Thanks. This is a local bike park about three blocks from my house.
