Wind through Jacket Arm Holes..
OK.. Riding with 14" apes, My arm angle is parallel to the ground, so cold air goes right through my jacket arm openings by my hands. I'm not feeling really creative to think of a solution right now, so maybe I could pick your brain. Yes, my jacket has snaps to tighten the opening, but still about 3/4 inch exposed. Velcro?

Or you could do what all the cool dudes do and ride one handed while slouching down in the seat with your skateboard shoe covered feet pointed out to the sides and heels at the front of the footboard. Then you only have one cold arm but since you will look so kool and sick you won't care.

Really dude, South Florida and you're having issues with cold air !!!
Stuff socks in your arm pits, tuck your elbows into your ribs and tuff it out !!
Come ride in Maine during April, May, June, and Sept, Oct, and Nov....
then we can discuss the 'cold air up the jacket sleeve' issue
I wear leather gloves with gauntlets, which allows me to put the sleeves
inside the gloves to alleviate and wind up the sleeve.... besides socks
are best kept on the feet

For duck hunting I have neoprene straps that fasten with velcro. They go around my pant legs so my pants don't ride up and my socks don't fall down in waders.
They might work for you, check some hunting shops.

Seriously though, gauntlet gloves. Problem solved.
