Winter Gloves for Riding
I am looking for some warmer gloves (like snowmobile gloves) for motorcycle riding in colder weather. Any suggestions other that warm handle grips or heated gloves?
Thanks

Costco has some Head brand ski gloves that look pretty good for cold weather riding, they were $26.00 this morning.

Get some rubber gloves to go over what ever you have. Kill the wind and you are pretty much all set. I have these, discontinued but should be some left over some where.

Wear light cotton gloves with mittens over them and put hand warmers inside the mittens. You don't need individual fingers to ride. You need thumbs and all four fingers together.

Rhys, I use leather snowmobile gloves from Marks work warehouse. They are warm and flexable. I use them in cold weather on the bike and all winter on the snowmobiles.

Well take it from someone who has pretty well tried everything, I know you didn't want to hear it, but heated gloves are the only way to go, remember those snowmobile gloves may be warm for a bit, but snowmobiles for the most part have heated grips as well. I have tried every sort of glove and only the heated ones seems to do a good job, together with a heated vest as well.

I'm with Smokey. I think I've tried most of about everything out there. A few years ago my kids gave me a Gerbing heated jacket liner & heated gloves for Christmas. By far! The only way to travel!! I cannot speak for other brands of heated gloves but if you do much cold weather riding at all, I can tell you, you will not regret a pair of Gerbing heated gloves or jacket liner!

Not knocking heated gloves, I am sure they are great but the gloves I mentioned do work well in most temps you are liable to ride a bike in for a 1/4 of the price.

Hippo Hands. Not the newer ones that just went out of business, but find an original set of Vetter's. Then you can wear your summer gloves.
I have a set of the big box original Vetter HH if I get the urge to ride my 72 Yamaha in the winter. But for routine use I use Gerbings (also have a pair of heated grips waiting to go on the Nomad). They're not cheap but they're not more than some other name gloves. And if you ride in weather below say 20f, it would be hard to imagine anything working all night and day better than Gerbings, except maybe Hippo Hands. After about 3 years one of the connectors frayed so I sent them in for repair and they were fixed... free. After 10 years I had an issue with a finger not heating and sent them in for repair. They sent me back a pair of the latest and greatest... no charge, so the cost went to less than half. How many other gloves you spend money on will send you free replacements after 10 years? And the replacements also have a lifetime warranty.

Bought these a month ago for a 35-degree ride and they performed wonderfully. Keeps the cold and rain out without overheating your hands. Highly recommend these. Good gear isn't cheap! |
