Warmest gloves?

[bazbo]

I have particularly poor circulation in my fingers and my hands get cold very quickly when riding. I usually wear liners but even then my fingers get cold quickly. I cannot get heated grips as my bike doesn't have a battery, and cannot afford heated battery power gloves. So what are the warmest gloves I can get in NZ that won't break the bank?

Heated grips?

[bazbo]

did you read the post? no battery = no heated grips!

Hippo hands - no battery required.... around town the glow of embarrassment will keep you warm...

Damn, I must be going blind. My bad.

Brush or lever guards will also make a big difference...

If warm hands equals a cold heart, those of us who suffer from cold hands MUST have a warm heart...

Seriously, I have a similar issue...

Have several pairs of "winter" gloves including a Darbi pair and a Dainese pair which I find particularly good. Unfortunately neither pair seem to be available any more :-(

However, a former colleague also suffered from cold hand syndrome and overcame it with a pair of diving neoprene gloves worn under a pair of ordinary bike gloves. He said his hands were warm and dry even if the bike gloves were wet. I think he had diver's gloves that were 2mm.

This may be a solution...

May I suggest a trek around the bike shops in the Wellington area to try on the various offerings.

I have a pair of Held Blizzard but they are too thick, they are for seriously cold weather and cheap they ain't. The manufacturers don't seem to understand that the palm of the hand doesn't need massive insulation, mainly the back.

Probably the best all round winter gloves I have are Held "Warm and Dry" but I'm not sure if they're available locally and depending on your bank...

Also I've got a pair of Spidi warm gloves that work around town, they are short goves and can let cold air up the sleeves of less cleverly designed jackets. They are about ten years old though and holding up well.

Get a Hayabusa and out-run the cold?

I've a pair of these: http://www.motozone.co.nz/products/r...er-gloves.aspx

They work well down to 5°C, but as this morning's run demonstrated, don't keep my fingers warm enough at -2°C. Heated grips do help, but the backs of the fingers still get too cold when it's frosty. I could use an upgrade.

Bar Muffs.

Cheap off ebay.

Can't afford a battery, Busa would be a stretch

Ever Thought of Hand guards?

I use ski mittens, leather ones...much cheaper than anything for motorcycles. You can get cordless heated ski gloves too.

If you can't afford grips or a battery, I guess mentioning Spidi H2o Nordics are a waste of time.
Excellent gloves.

Concur. I used to ride through Scottish winters and muffs were essential below -10c. Cheapest, easiest and ugliest way to keep your hands warm. Mine were waxed cotton with a sheepskin lining.

Mitts are better than gloves, over mitts with ski gloves underneath and thermal gloves under the gloves. That's mitts with a forefinger, not mitt mitts.
