Glove Liners

[pritch]

I have Spidi silk glove liners, but haven't used them much since I got the heated grips :-)

Im off to kathmandu to get me some polypro gloves ($7.90) and a polypro balaclava ($13.90) for this weekends riding. Going to be very cold.

went to the flying fish a few weeks ago and it took my blue hands over half an hour to get the feeling back in them. Worth it though. Always worth it really

was warming my hand on the exhaust on the way home, left it on a bit long lol

those new dukes would be good with the hand warming exhaust just behind your back!

I've used the possum/merino blend and they've been ok. But when I'm properly middleclass I'm going for the icebreakers. Hopefully less bulky. Might have to think about those silk jobbies tho. Does this mean if I wear my wifes silkies I'll be warmer?

Yep, and you'll feel strangely sexy too!

Is it still strange if you normally feel strangely sexy? Or does it then become old-fashioned normal sexy?

I read your user name and see issues anyway!

Old family name that. Named after dear old Uncle Clivoris I am. Couldn't rub up against a nicer chap.

I use Spidi silk innners which I got from Motomail about 3 years ago and they've stood the test of time. Good for summer use too. I used to find that sweaty hands used to pull the liners on my summer gloves inside out and they were almost impossible to get back without lumps on the ends of the fingers. Silk inners stopped that from happening.

Agreed with Blackbird, but I got mine from AMPS. I have 2 pairs, while one is in the wash, I wear the other.

I didn't get so much for warmth, and I don't think they offer a huuuuge amount of warmth. I find the advantage is the sweaty hands, and gloves not smelling soo quickly.

Not too sure on longetivity though. I use mine all the time, only time I don't is when darting between shops. The stitching can come undone, then you pull it etc when putting your fingers in etc. So far, I would estimate they last about 1 year in ok condition, and be careful when pulling them on, you can pull them apart if not careful (and pulling on in same manner the whole time).

I'm not touching it.

Don't bother with the Oxford Glove Inners, I have bought them to try and keep my hands warm and they haven't done the job I'm afraid. But what works for one person doesn't for the next, so don't take my word on it, try them out yourself.

I'll second that, but it beats just leather gloves by themselves.. when I have money, I'm gonna get Quasi's waterproof gloves.. they feel very warm..

I'm looking to get those over gloves that seperate your first finger from your other three, I have no idea what those gloves are called but I saw an image of them in the image browser a wee while back, I rekcon those will do the trick to keep my hands warm.

Another vote for poly-prop inners. Went through five Christchurch winters commuting (with the odd trip to Hanmer) , was the second best investment for keeping warm on a bike, after a tube scarf.
