Any specific model recommendations?
I’ve had a pair of Hestra windproofs for years and they were spot on for me. But they don’t seem to make them anymore (they were like the windstopper tracker, but with longer cuffs) and mine have finally been worn very thin on my first two fingers. Will be looking for new ones this winter and this thread reminded me…
(Got smelly neoprenes for wet rides, but I’m after dry ride gloves)
Tempted by the ergo grips. But spendy…
Just want to take the edge off the cold down in mid/lower single digits really. Maybe add a merino liner underneath, if close to freezing. I don’t have cold hands and value a bit more dexterity or the ability to layer.
Not averse to other brands.
Ego? It seems most of what he does boils down to his own vanity at the moment. You don't get the mindless hero-worship to the same extent on the other side of the fence.
He can cosplay kingmaker with his ownership and control of the tw@tter algorithms. So he gets his influence/power without any accountability. He can also 'buy' favours with the GOP in a way he can't with the Democrats because they have, and Trump in particular has, a far more transactional MO - e.g. (and this is probably the tip of the iceberg) he gets promised tariffs on Chinese EVs which are set to boost Tesla.
Plus (and I think this is a big reason) their current narrative plays more to his own personal prejudices...
Just my thoughts viewing from the outside, not any definitive reasons. It's probably complete guff.
