I have some thin (about 1/4 inch of padding) stretch over knee pads that probably came from Walgreens, I got them years ago to wear under my jeans to keep my knees warm because when riding in cold weather the wind hits my knees making them colder than the rest of me, causing them to ache. I recently got Gel knee Pads from Harbor Freight when I went to get the Cen Tech ($17) pointer. they were $6 I'm pretty sure but might have been as much as $8 since they are the gel pads. Now Gloves I had laying in my garage or in my saddlebags, Wal Mart or any sporting goods store sells several brands of Batting gloves they are very form fitting so I can easily work the small bubble button controls on my Xterra 705, they also have padding at prefect spots for holding Hand grips and now i have realized they pad for digging tools too. I keep surgical gloves in my saddlebags for wet rainy weather and wear them under the gloves. I also wear the wool liners from army gloves (but not under the batting gloves as they wouldn't fit) for this cooler weather detecting, I no longer even have the leather outer shells for them. the baseball batting gloves range from normal cost of $15 and up, mine average $20 a pair. Lowes and Home Depot, department stores, and any sporting goods stores, will sell all kind of decent colder weather gloves. I think you have to trade off and wear either tighter more form fitting thinner gloves to work buttons and controls, or wear heavier gloves to be warmer but having to take them off to push buttons and work controls. LOL I beat that subject to death eh...
