Carbon frame in winter

I commute in casual shoes which don't constrict blood flow as much so if it's really cold I can usually get away with wearing an extra pair of socks. My fingers are another story though, I can't stand having icicles for fingers. I've been looking at those cheap USB powered heating gloves trying to figure out some way to power them off a battery pack of sorts but I know nothing about electronics so as of yet no results.

Edit: bit of a thread hijack I'm sorry but you basically got your answer in the first reply. Wet, cold and salt will destroy the paint but won't affect the structure.

You can get the single use jobbies. But that might work out expensive.

The electrically heated insoles seem to be modular affairs. Where you buy leads, batties etc separatly. You could bodge something up from the parts. I know you can buy loose heating elements. Alternativly it could be possible to pull the element out of an insole, and stitch/glue them to the outside of a glove line.

Search for Thermal-Ic.

Heating Element.

Loads of parts here (in norwegian I'm afraid)

But if your hands catch fire while cycling, I'll delete this post and denay all knowledge.
