Best WINTER GLOVES ???

[ceebie13]

I have a pair of Revit ones with the knuckle and finger armour...

...all of which adds emphasis to your signals to cage drivers eh, Trude?

...like the 'feel' factor too, doesn't feel like there's 6 inches between my fingers....

Here speaks the voice of experience.
Er... what does Nigel have to say about this I wonder?

FWIW I've got a cheapish pair of RJays Hurricane gloves, which I picked up from TSS last winter. To date they've been really comfortable, warm and even waterproof on the daily commute.

Nothing too fancy, but good value.

I've often found that the best winter gloves are summer gloves with a bit of HTFU thrown in

And, if HTFU isn't sufficient (as I once found out, one hour into a four hour ride through freezing fog) then just pull in to the next service station and put on a couple of pairs of those crinkly disposable gloves they have by the diesel pumps, underneath your summer gloves.

Never found any gloves that kept my hands/fingers warm in the winter, just swap my fingerless gloves with ones with full fingers, just put up with the cold and use bread-bags as overgloves when its wet.

Bread Bags / diesel gloves!

Good old Kiwi stylin' - so obvious but practical, award for the number 8 solution!

That way I can wear my summer motard gloves and still keep the freezing fog off...

Sometimes the best solution is the cheapest!

Scummy ain't a quota cop, so with just the base salary & no performance boni coming in, it's probably just that he can't afford good gear.

Your hands stay dry and they aren't bulky at all.

When it is really cold (-4C to 4C) I have some Orina gloves , which aren't as bulky as they look and are really warm as well as dry. Bit of a struggle to get under you jacket sleeves though.

It's quite important to put them under your sleeves when it is raining because most waterproof jacket and trousers liners work by wicking water through the outer layer and draining it through the bottom of the jacket, sleeves and trousers. Put your gloves over your cordura/goretex jacket and you'll fill your gloves up.

YES!THANKYOU. Twice now my gloves filled up(slow learner maybe). I was doing the wrist strap up so tight it was cutting off my circulation. Mates I talked to said the gloves must go over the jacket to keep the wind out. I willl try this out next time it rains and see if it will save me having to dry my gloves out for the following 2 days.

[James Deuce]

You're welcome. Never had any issues with the wind getting in. I find it is actually warmer to put gauntlet style gloves under your sleeves.

[scumdog]

yes I go for the double bread bags!! But the red wine on the inside is always a good start!!
Of course it has to be quality.

Well old chap, a difficult one here. My advice, and this is from mt time in Blighty; 1) Take some hard pills 2) Remove any trace of a glove 3) Plaster hands in Vaseline 4) Wrap hands round bars and go for a ride, cheers, Coxy

I find that summer (thin, leather, armoured) gloves are great in winter. Not being able to move your fingers at all makes for interesting riding.

Seriously though...

Strangely, I *do* find that my summer gloves are better than winter gloves in winter, ESPECIALLY when it's raining and/or cold. The reason for that is that while the winter gloves take longer to get wet and cold, the summer gloves will warm up and dry quicker than the winter ones, as they're less thick. This means that when waiting at the lights, you just stick your left hand on the left hand side of the motor, and your right hand on the right hand side of the motor, and by the time the lights change, your hands are warm and (mostly) dry again.

I also find that I don't usually need my right hand warm, so I stick my left hand under my fuel tank to warm it while cruising along, and for some reason it makes my right hand feel warmer. go figure...

My advice: in your tank bag, carry a plastic bag (for the wet gloves), and a few spare pairs of (winter) gloves, if you want to be warm and dry. This depends, of course, with how long you are riding for. If long distances, then maybe you want to try the poly undergloves/summer glove/overglove combo (for maximum warmth and dryness).
