Remember I have NO mechanical experience so it needs to be something that I would be able to install with reading instructions.....

Grip heaters are pretty easy to install, and you can get as fancy as you like. I think I posted my install on TWF. Best place to start is by getting some insulated gloves. I have the Cortech Scarab Winter and I used them down to 20 F before I got grip heaters. Of course, it doesn't matter what gloves you have, or if you have the best/hottest grip heaters ever, your fingers will get cold- it's just a matter of how long.

I'd still look into some winter gloves... just for those cold mornings... I've never ridden with grip heaters... but I can't imagine them helping all that much with vented gloves!
