| Anyone know where to get these? Anyone wear these in the cooler months? Do you like? Dislike? I'm thinking of getting a couple since I always like to pull my hands into my cuffs when it gets cold out. |

| LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I have several...a couple of Nikes, a Hind, and a Mizuno. They are great when it's not quite cold enough for gloves, but too cold to have hands completely unprotected. NB makes a couple, too. I think most of the running clothing manufacturers have jumped on this feature in the past year. |

I have a Kalenji, which I doubt you can get in the States. Not only does it have thumb thingies but it has a slit in the sleeve ( at first I thought it was manufacturing failure ) so you can read youR watch / HRM without rolling your sleeve up. Of course the problem is that its on the left sleeve and as I'm left handed I wear my watch on the right. |

Or cut your own slit in the sleeve?

| I have an awesome NB zip top with the thumb holes, and an off-brand pull-over that I got from Dick's. I love 'em. Perfect for those temps were gloves aren't quite needed. Plus if your hands get warm, you just roll up the sleeve to regular length (and no gloves to stash or drop). |

| It's weird I usually break out gloves before long sleeves. |

Believe it or not-- target had some of these last season. I'm a sucker for relatively cheap running gear, and their champion stuff works for me.
My favorite is a zip-up lightweight jacket with thumb holes, great in the fall months before I switch to gloves. |

| I'll be honest I usually cut thumb holes into a few of my long sleeve cotton t-shirts. I works well enough for me and it's usually cheaper. |

Awesome.
I have a Sugoi Speedster. It also has a great hood, and the sleeves fold down around your hands, forming little mittens. That way I don't need to carry gloves with me and lose one. Because I will lose one. That's how I roll. |

| its funny... for me I need gloves WAY before I need long sleeves. In 40-55 degree weather you will see me out there in running shorts, a singlet and big thick gloves! |

| Thanks again. I sweat like a pig..big time. Wearing gloves drives me nuts. I've tried it and just can't handle the gloves, they get on my damn nerves. I figured this would be my happy medium. I saw that Nike has a nice jacket with thumbholes in it as well. |
