    Bugger. I'm going to have to buy new gloves

    Now winters coming in, I went to dig out my winter gauntlets. And one of them has flat disappeared. How can one of a pair just disappear into thin air ? Da**ned if I know, but it has. searched everywhere for a week! Must have suffered the same fate as socks.

    I'm going to have to buy a new pair.

    I haven't bought gloves in years and years . Anyone got a recommendation for brand and source ? Winter gauntlets, waterproof (in so far as they ever are), leather, and warm . And cheap (cos I'm mean)

    Equals cold and wet.
    I have a pair of Nazran with the Thinsulate insides. A bit thick at times but super warm. Leather and I wax them often so very water proof.

    Spidi Tundras, warm, dry and retain quite good feel. Not cheap @ $159, but cheap is as cheap does.

    Teknic Thunder's are comparatively cheap, stay warm and dry, and have a little wiper blade affixed to the outside of each index finger. I think RRP Is around $90.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Cool Gloves....

    I have full leather pair... "Teknic" cost $99 a couple of years ago and I wore them today throu on the Napier/Taupo road.. and my fingers were so frozen as the snow was right down to the road... This pair I hardly wear as I tend to wear fingerless gloves.. but all I can say is these did not keep the fingers warm today.. until after I had taken them off to refuel in Taupo.. and then my fingers were starting to work...

    I actually road all day in them from Hastings to Auckland. The fingerless ones remained in my tank bag...

    So good luck in finding the right pair that will do the job for you...

    I just wish I hadn't lost one thermal glove as they would have been great to wear under the leather gloves...especially today...

    Dri Rider Nordics. Never leaked, warm, and not too pricey from memory. Go nicely with my Nordic jacket when the weather gets cold.

    Bit nippy this morning in the Capital.

    I think thats the gloves I just bought, but haven't used yet. Got them from Motomail for $89.99

    No kevlar stitching, but have the hipora membrane. If you wanna a pic, just ask.

    Thanks everyone for the input. A nice young man at Motomail was happy to sell me a pair of Teknic Thunders. Haven't put them to the test yet but they look like they should do the job. Choice in the end was based on what fitted best. I have big wide hands and the other brands didn't fit too well.

    Excellent.

    Make sure you deal to the finger seams with snowseal and they'll never leak.
