Cold Hands - What's The Solution?

[outlawtorn]

Thanks everyone for their words of wisdom and advice. As the wallet is crying I've decided to opt for some Oxford Inner Gloves, from Colemans. So I'll be testing these out over the next week and I just hope and pray that they do the job.

Thanks again everyone. You guys rock!!!!

I've got some Oxford removable thingies. Motomail sell them. Great bit of kit. nice n warm.

I'd be interested to hear how you find the Oxford inner gloves. Absolute wank IMO.

Go for heated permanent heated grips. I've got some Oxford ones and they are really good especially in the rain as your gloves don't feel as wet (and I don't think my gloves are very good.

Hey, i wear gloves with inner lining and they keep my hands pretty warm.. not sure brand but kevlar/leather.. having heated hand grips would help alot to.

I loved my heated handgrips in the 3 degrees I rode to work in this morning.

I wear my leather jacket like a great big hug
Radiating charm - a living cloak of luck
It's the only concrete link with an absent friend
It's a symbol I can wear 'till we meet again
Or it's a weight around my neck while the owner's free
Both protector and reminder of mortality
It's a curse - I cannot shirk responsibilities
From the teacher to the pupil it's a gift to me
so I love my leather jacket and I wear it all the time
I love my leather jacket

I love my leather jacket

Cordura just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it??

I love my new R-Jays EVO jacket by the way.

Heated grips are the way to go... I may be a panzy but a panzy with warm hands is what I am.
The trick is not to let your hands get wet, so over mittens for the really damp days.

Daytona grips are cheep and cheerful, I've ridden 100,000kms with them (not on all the time). I'm on my second set (If your in wellington I have a pair in used condition for $20)

If your bike is past the stage where you worry too much about it and don't mind using a soldering iron then you can make your own hot grips for a couple of $'s.

I used a switch from a broken set of Daytona grips and some resistance wire with excellent effect on my old XT400, then commuted for a winter with warm hands :-)
