Best WINTER GLOVES ???

I'd recommend the Spidi range any day of the week. I've got a summer pair and a winter pair. Work well in the rain too, the few times I've been wet. Worth the money IMO.

Lessee...
I've got a pair of old AGV summer glubs; a pair of Spidi Pro1 summers, with a hole between the fingers; a pair of Dri Rider summer glubs (comfy, inexpensive, but noticeably inferior to Spidis); a pair of Urine-A El Crapolas; a pair of Spidi Raven H2Outs, and the Spidi Sport Comp H2Outs.
Oh yeah - I've also got some oilskin over-mittens, which I kindly let the vifferbabe wear over her tiny glubs if it's raining and she's on the back.
I'm thinking that when it stops pretending to be winter some Helds might be joining the pile of sundry boots, pants, helmets and gloves in the cupboard...

I think I need to grow some extra hands...

Kerry at TSS recently talked me into trying some newly-arrived German Held winter gloves. GoreTex, leather, nice. Not cheap though at about $160.

Just discovered Held gloves, what type did Kerry sell you?

[Hitcher]

I think they're the Icebreakers.

Winter glub purchase time for me, too. Spidi H2OUTs worked well before. Anyone know which of the Auckland shops stock Held?

Motohaus does. Or you can buy my Spidi Ravens, Doctor Dan.

Coincidentally I too was in TSS today and chose the slightly less expensive ("call it $100" said Kerry) Macna range. Why? Because I wanted "feel" as originally posted, warmth, waterproofing and importantly a large enough gauntlet (with an elasticated drawstring) to go over my jacket cuffs without difficulty when wearing the bloody things! My last pair were a complete faff to get on for that reason, so they will now make a serviceable spare pair.

The new ones have no knuckle armour but are extremely comfortable!
Cheers, Kerry.

Thanks all for the replies.

Protection is important, so I'm looking for something with knuckle protection too.

Spidi seem to have some pretty good spec gloves, as do Held...

- price isn't really an option as knuckles and fingers are worth a lot to me!

I have a pair of the Revit ones with the knuckle and finger armour, find them pretty warm, but not stupid hot in summer, which is a bonus. I find mine super comfy and I feel safe in them, like the 'feel' factor too, doesn't feel like there's 6 inches between my fingers and the levers, so all in all, I mine.

Orina do a nice warm glove that remains waterproof for an hour in a downpour and isn't too too thick. About $89 dollars.

Yep - I have a pair of those, and thay aren't too bad. Maybe Vifferman got a Monday pair...
The Spidi AL3's (replaced by AL4, replaced by Thunder, replaced by summitelse) that died during my Black Ice Escapade winter-before-last were much better, both warmth and water-resistant-wise, but they were also three times the price.
BMW put out some good gloves, too.

OK, rode this morning in my gloves and my hands were very cold, putting liners in them for winter!

$89 sounds like a go! And the tag on my gloves says "Made in Hungary".

Yes - an excellent glove with real gortex. Add undergloves and you are ready for anything. At the price they are exceptional value for $$
