I'm in Southern Japan and I'm looking for extra warm winter gloves to use while I'm bicycling at high speeds, or anywhere outdoors, or even in my cold apato. I've gone to nearby stores, but the gloves they sell are not warm enough for me.
I'm looking for not-so-expensive gloves in the XL size (25.5 cm or 10.5 inches). I'm looking for stores that can ship to Kyushu for a minimal fee. Do you know of any stores?
Thank you for your information!

If you're looking for quality cheap, then I would hit up Uniqlo. I don't know if they have Uniqlo down there though. Good luck.

uniqlo won't work

Tommy,
There is a uniqlo in my area. I took a look at Uniqlo's online page for gloves, and there are 2 reasons why uniqlo won't work:
1. They don't have my size.
2. They're not warm enough. They look as warm as the gloves I saw in the department store.

I'd try a ski shop. If there aren't any ski shops around then a large general sporting goods shop would likely have ski stuff...
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Another idea... The Mountain Equipment Co-op. They're a Canadian outfit and have awesome stuff. They ship overseas too.
