Winter glove bargain

My old winter gloves are getting long in the tooth... they ain't what they used to be.  (I've got a newer pair... well, I've got a newer glove.  One of the two gloves has gone into seclusion somewhere - I'll probably find it in June.  I've got a couple other pairs of heavy winter gloves, but I hesitate to use 'em when bicycling because thinner gloves give me better tactile feel on the controls, turning my headlight on, etc.)

I did some casual shopping at bike stores... but heck, the gloves I liked were all $30, $40, $50!  Ouch!

Today I picked up a pair of gloves for 8 bucks!  If you have a Harbor Freight in your area, they are the "Cold Weather Work Gloves," regularly $14.99, on sale for $7.99 thru the end of January.  They've got grippy palms, Thinsulate, velcro wrist closures.  They're supposedly waterproof... I'd say water-resistant is more accurate.  (L-SKU#96606, XL-SKU#96612)

Nice deal. I switched from my $3 Wool Army liners to some Rag wool this year, but these look like a good option too.
