William , It's all good. I'm just having a humbling ornery human
reactionary moment to them. My opinion reflects on no one but myself, and
that's the end of that .
Speaking of not knowing . I know what I know and that's but a
fraction of all there is *to know*. I , like all of us,

I like the idea of turning an okay glove into a super glove (though I
suppose you could just go ahead and buy super-gloves). These are hilarious,
and I bet they work great. I might get some if I need to bump an RBW order

I like the idea because I hate having hands too hot, and have experienced
chilly digits going down a hill. Something easy on easy off, that's cheap
