Assuming you mean Celcius.. Otherwise you're very comfortable with cold weather.. 15F would be below freezing.

I don't think I could get used to gloves, it would feel kind of weird, I guess I need to feel the contact with my Glo, in other words I need to be intimate with it ...

I had no problems today at about 5C out (easily glove temperatures). Now, if it were below freezing, it might be a different matter.
