    At first they felt strange, you don't have the individual finger movement [I have the double finger gloves rather than the single-triple finger model] however I have not noticed any difficulty with controls.

    Unlike Motu, I have found they do help reduce the wind chill factor but don't eliminate it. I wear either Rev'it or Dainese winter gloves with the Rain-Offs over the top and when it's between 5C and 10C they do help when travelling at 100km/h. I do put the gloves on before leaving the house and so I'm warm before I add the extra layers - perhaps that does help.

    If jacket is over gloves and you take a tumble, I've always considered there is slightly more chance of the jacket cuff catching, and the sleeve sliding up your arm.

    Probably nonsense, but that's my reason.
    No, that's reasonable.
    I wear mine like that too, plus it stops the wind/weather getting up your sleeves. However, when it's raining, I wera them like that too, but with my waterproof jacket sleeves velcroed over the top.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I'm on the road for half an hour at 100kph, below 7 degrees, the last 15 minutes my fingers start to freeze. My winter gloves are Spidi or Dririder.
