Jon Stern Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 It's getting down to the mid-50s Fahrenheit (~13°C) here in Northern California for my morning commutes (yeah, I know that's hardly cold), and a thin pair of gloves would be welcome. Anyone got any recommendations for thin gloves that would fit under my Demon wrist guards?

BarrettJ Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I grabbed a pair of under armor glove liners from a local sporting goods store that are nice and thin - they’ve served me well to about 50 degrees so far (I don’t go riding much when it drops below 50 as I haven’t found warm enough gear yet)
Rehab1 Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I bought a pair of these thin gloves on Amazon as they are designed to be worn as a second layer under bulky gloves. They’ve should work with your Demons. I also like the fact you can still use your smartphone’s touch screen.
Darrell Wesh Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Get some regular winter gloves and cut the index finger of one just barely so you have touchscreen control. You should have another set of wrist guards that are extra large so you can put them on top of your gloves and the Velcro wrap should fit
tscottn Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 or you could just buy these and kill two birds with one rock... https://www.amazon.com/Hillbilly-Wrist-Guard-Gloves-Finger/dp/B0046EZ1GE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1540796278&sr=8-3&keywords=Hillbilly+Wrist+Guard+Gloves

People say the fingers are long, and mine are short.

I don't think they'd be great wrist protectors though (too short), especially compared to my Demons.

Rehab1 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Here are a few photos of the new gloves and Flexmeter combo. Very light weight, comfortable stretchy material that does not impede the use of my fingers while also allowing me full function of my smartphone’s touchscreen.
Jon Stern Posted October 31, 2018 Author Posted October 31, 2018 Is that a beeper on the back of your wrist guard? I was going to look for something to act as a horn.

Yes it is an electronic horn with multiple sounds. The activation switch is located just above the knuckle of my thumb.
spmartin Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Can you please let us know the manufacturer of the electronic horn? I am currently using a "bell" app on my iPhone, which is kind of loud enough when played through my EUC speakers, but you have found a better solution.
paulz Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Any thoughts on these? https://www.amazon.com/Dakine-1300320W18-DaKine-Unisex-Wristguard/dp/B00I83XJU4?th=1&psc=1 Looking for easy-on/easy-off for Minnesota winter. The hillbilly wrist guards above had some bad reviews.....

They fit me very well, and definitely add some warmth. They're not super warm though. Probably just enough for NorCal winters, but they might be insufficient for colder climates. Overall I'm very happy with them. Especially at the price.
