Winter gloves recommendations?

[khabel]

I'm approaching my first winter riding and my summer gloves just wont cut it, can anyone recommend some good winter gloves for < $200

[slofox]

I got a pair of Teknic "Thunder" glubs last year. Best winter gloves I ever had...

[swbarnett]

Whatever gloves you have, unless they are truly waterproof, you can't go past a pair of Rain-Off over gloves to keep the water out - summer or winter.

[JMemonic]

+1 more vote for the Teknic Thunders, I must get another pair.

[Hitcher]

Rain-Off overgloves are the only solution for dry, warm hands in any conditions. They don't leak, ever. They're cheap. And you can wear them over summer gloves rather than go for unnecessary bulk on your hands just because it's winter.

Combined with heated grips, you can travel in some comfort whatever the weather decides to do.

I've tried many sets of gloves over the years. There is no such thing as a truly waterproof glove. They all fail eventually. Even those with Goretex liners. I suspect that's due to the quality of the build rather than the quality of fabrics.

Again, just like jackets, cordura isn't waterproof. If there's no membrane underneath, and you're out in the wet long enough, your gear will leak.

Yep heated grips 100% then overmits.

Rain-Off overgloves [....] They're cheap.Hrm $73 isn't quite what I'd call cheap.

Sounds like they work though.

Who the fuck let you back on?

If you're in a motorcycle store buying gloves and the salesperson is wildly excited about the weatherproofing characteristics of a particular brand, ask if you can wear a pair in a pucket of water for half an hour. That should test not only the water repellent attributes of the gloves but also the optimism of the seller. Go on. I dare you.

:shit: What's a pucket of water? :shutup::innocent:

A pucket with water in it, obviously.

I have a pairof Macna gloves. Can't remember the model (all the labels have worn off). They came with liners as well. No hard armour on them, and I've never crashed so don't know how good the hand / finger protection is.

However - they haven't leaked. They do seep and get damp so as Hitcher said, I doubt (depending on conditions, speed and duration) you'll find a truly waterproof pair.

Rain-off are something I plan on getting as I get more time to do longer rides (come on kids, hurry up and grow up).

[Owl]

Go on. I dare you.

doing it but bitch typing with pen in gob.

[sinfull]

Bulky gloves are a curse, Rain mits sound all good for touring or if ya commute but i'd really love to find me another pair of SS gloves that fit a large mitt, mine are PHucked !

Ok, I could only handle 10 minutes of that shite..........but no leaking:blink:

Not bad considering they're now 4 years old! Alpinestars ST3, though I wouldn't call them a winter glove.

Alpinestars ST3? Not bulky, heaps of feel, relatively warm and waterproof for at least 10 minutes:laugh:

Your not meant to do the dishes with them on, get Peggy to buy you a pair of Rubbers:shutup:

I had a pair of Ixon winter gloves .. the WARMEST gloves I've every ridden in ...
Only problem was they were not waterproof. They were incredibly warm when wet, but once I took them off wet I could never get them back on again .. until they dried out ..

After a few years and more than a few pairs of glubbs, im gettin soft and the 125km commute has the digits erect till morning smoko. Lookin at getting a pair to go over my summer ones. Two questions,(as you obviously have a pair) Any one down this end stock them, or is it, mail order bride only (get them and find they are too loose) and secondly what is better, one or two fingers.

1. Where do you buy them (seriously)
2. What's the story with the heel of the palm thing sliders when you fall off on chip seal?

and secondly what is better, one or two fingers.

Depends how loose she is. Some need four.

We sell them, or are about to as winter is near, I have one pair in Large that we used as a demo pair last year if you are interested, they have only been tried on for sizings they are large, we do bring other KNOX gear in weekly.
the SPS system if you fall of on chip seal works the same way, I have done this a few times myself as have a number of customers no issues reported.

I have a pair of Frank Thomas gloves I brought in England. They were farking expensive, they are mostly waterproof, they are however big and slightly bulky. They are VERY warm. I only wear them once a year on the coldest frosty mornings in otago.

How much do you sell them for? Going to need some winter gloves soon as my hands are starting to freeze.

These Ones are $200 if youre interested

Not sure if they will be big enough, my Qrace gloves are size XL.

[HQfiend]

Love the spec of the knox stuff, they just don't build it big enough for those with large hands.

heated grips +3....... I've never looked back since, I still wear my summer gloves through the winter with no problems, As you could imagine 1/ they keep your hands warm 2/ they keep the palms of your hands dry. I have done plenty of long hrs/kms in the rain & swear heated grips are the way to go for @ the same $$$$ as most gloves, if not cheaper
