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...

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.

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

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.

What's a pucket of water?

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).

Go on. I dare you.

doing it but bitch typing with pen in gob.

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 !
