I get large but can’t find the Austrian ones now , I prefer the plain colour rather than camo. I like just the shell as you can layer up underneath, I found the ridgeline ok but very warm and sweaty ( and leaky 😖)


I've found/ordered brand new German 'fur' lined cold weather gore tex mitts off Amazon for £21

See how we go with them, might ditch the handlebar mitts on the bike (which are looking like needing replaced for lambing anyway)...

I need to give the quad a once over for lambing, it’s hardly used now we have the buggy, we’ve a vet student coming so she can tag along with my mrs with the buggy and I can fek off on the quad for some peace and quiet 😂
That’s why I’m trying the mits , although I do cut the draw strings off as they can snag on the handle bars

I'm too poor for a buggy and I don't have anyone who works along side me - just the dogs... Them on the bike it's the only hugs I get so I'm quite happy with the peace and quiet (and talking to myself) 😂😂
Usually on my own as well , mrs saves her holiday and takes 3 weeks off for lambing
We only got a buggy as , she tipped the quad and gave us all a fright
Our biggest problem is that both “ good” dogs will only work for me , hence I get the quad and outside lambers
