What's your favorite winter riding glove?

Scoot · 10-02-2007, 08:20 PM

What's your favorite and the warmest glove? I had a pair of Joe Rockets that were nice, but they seem to have sprouted legs and run off ( at least one did). I like a gauntlet type so I don't get cold air up my sleeves. I need a new pair and I'm open to suggestions?

Thanks

I wear insulated leather gauntlets, don't know the make. When it gets real cold I have a thin pair of close fitting cotton liners that I wear under the gauntlets. If I keep my fingers loose and move them around my hands stay warm. Actually rode through fog in the mountains last fall when the temp was below 32, stopped and had ice falling off of me and the bike but the hands were good.

I aslo wear insulated gauntlets. I'll have to check the make when I'm not running late for work. I got them off ebay from http://stores.ebay.com/Moto-DirectUSA-com I think they were like 15 bucks and my helemt was 30! Here are the glove (check the size) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-4...9397QQtcZphoto I just noticed they're selling chaps for 32 bucks too.

I bought firstgear winter dakotagloves from jp cycle,their very good,about65dollars.

TourMaster Winter Elite. They are outstanding. I ride in cold temperatures a great deal in Michigan. I have ridden all day in the 30's on the freeway in these. Your hands stay tolerably warm. In the 40's: completely warm. 50's: too hot. I think they are an exceptionally well designed product.

I have a pair of Olympia Weather Kings that I've used down to
6 degrees for trips of less than 30 minutes. They work pretty good but they are about 6 years old and the insulation is starting to ball up. Been looking at electric gloves but I really don't want to go wired. I'll be interested in the replies.
Ride safe,
Dano

the olympia goves are the best in my opinion, I got 2 pairs of them and would rec'd them to all.

I have 3 pairs of olympia's. One is mesh, One midweight gel gauntlet, One heavy weight Gauntlet. The mesh gets replaced every other year as the seams seperate, but the leather gauntlets have served me well for 8 years.
