Quality leather winter gloves?

[MaxCannon]

Alrighty - I'm trying to find good quality all leather winter gloves with armour that don't cost a fortune.

I can find textile ones but my last two sets have worn out.

Budget - under $200

What can you recommend.....

Heated grips! Got some for my birthday and put them on. mmm warm.

Yes - I'm still waiting for the SPS winter gloves to arrive in stock.
My current gloves have just about fallen apart.

If you don't really like the bulk of winter gloves, how about your favourite summer pair with waterproof overmitts from: http://www.rain-off.com/.

I'm a recent convert to these and wish I'd done it years ago as I've always hated the bulk of my Teknics winter gloves. Thes mitts are totally waterproof but importantly, they're wonderful for keeping the hands warm. Not exactly sexy-looking but who cares at the price?

What can you recommend.....Bought some Alpinestar SP3 (?) last winter,use snowseal on them & are very happy with them. Was riding in 0-3 degrees C the other day & the tips of my fingers got burrr but show me a pair of gloves (Leather or Fabric) that they don't, without going to heated grips !

Dririder Alpines....around $150, though I managed to get mine for $119
Just had mine a little while now. They could probably be warmer for the super freezing mornings, but they seem to be a good balance between warmth, waterproofness and thickness.
They have armor, but it's not to the same standard as my summer gloves

Ok, ok, I know you said with armour, but - I use the Darbi Tourmaster (http://www.motorcyclegear.co.nz/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=999&cat=Road+%3A+Glove+%3A+Darbi) glove.
Last ones are 5yrs old and still waterproof.
Warmth is fine for Auckland, but I have some glove liners for if I'm heading south.

Got new ones now as the old are quite thin and not as warm, though they are still waterproof.

None of the textile ones seem to last. I had one set wear out on my indicator switch - apparently you can indicate too often.

Spidi Ice are the duck's guts. Go and see Lou at AMPS and you will only bust your budget by three bucks (that's 15% off retail)

Actually, heated grips don't make much difference as far as fingertips go, unless you periodically hold the grips with just your fingertips.

Quasi is your man,he has specials,old stock,run outs etc.Mine are thick and warm,normally I don't like the bulky gloves,these are bulky but still give feel of the grips if that makes sense.
