meatloaf Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 First time I've had chance to get out on the bike this week, The sun was out the sky was blue, it was great to feel alive again for a couple of hours but boy was it cold, maybe I need to switch to my full faced helmet as my beard does'nt keep my ugly face to warm but it was my hands that got so painfully cold. Its no good its time to replace my favorite worn out gloves for something that actually keeps my hands warm. Time to buy myself an early christmas present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted December 7, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 7, 2014 What you going for? The trouble with gloves is that; by the time they fit snug, they are worn out. It was a little chilly this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloaf Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Not sure yet, I need to do a little research but it will have to wait for a bit as I will be spending some time in Birminham helping my daughter with a bit of hard landscaping in her garden, I would be gratefull for any advice.

Moderator drewpy Posted December 7, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 7, 2014 I use some thermal inner gloves, they stay with you whilst you change your gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lallasro Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I brougt for myself those held expensive but good. those are 4 tempo, you can use them on the summer and winter.. you have also 2 "rooms" for hands, one for dry wheater, one for raining.... leather and gorotex. after 6 months, I can say was a really good buy.

Tommy10bikes Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I use 3 sets of gloves , light motox with knuckle protectors for summer, Triumph lether gloves for most other times and they are goo even from brand new, the term fits like a glove comes to mind. and winter gloves made by Klim.

blackhat250 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Aye meaty " I think if the journey is too long, it don't matter what gloves you"ve got on , wind chill is gonna get you, I have a thinsulate lined glove , and hand guards on the Tiger, still get cold, mind you its f**n freezing up here today, Met a guy yesterday" he commutes on a quad every day.20 miles 6 am , he has big gloves, room to stuff them chemical heat soarse things, [ break them and generate heat,] he say its the only thing that keeps him going,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 What about heated gloves, just looked them up on Google and instead of heated grips the actual glove has an element inside it. Cost is from about £80 to £140, bit steep but if you ride all year mate then it might make sense, better than heated grips cos they just warm your palm not your finger tips.

up.yours Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 muffins/ I mean mittens are very good for winter, if your not too proud of how you look. I used these in my youth along with my donkey jacket and willies/ wellies. the girls sheepskin ones im on about , you may need to waterproof them yourself though. I used wax jacket re-wax stuff on mine . you won't find anything warmer than mitts believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouch Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 myself and elvis have spade enforcers mine are warm and robust they also look ok. don't know what andy thinks of his. and they are cheap. I use these and for the price £60 theyre spot on. The only thing is I found them a bit bulky at first but got used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreekMaster Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I bought some amazing winter gloves. I tell you I tried everything from heated to heated grips to thermal internal gloves but this ones I bought are amazing. ill post the nane when I get home. They are really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandouglas Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 looking forward to finding out what they are greekmaster - i buy off ebay, there are some bargain second hand gloves but it does involve a bit of research working out real value when new plus careful watching of promising items, so far so good but i would say go for a size or two bigger to be sure they fit ok, that is the only time i got caught out - took the lining out and used them for summer as the leather was quality. the spada blizzard is a good relatively cheap glove to buy new, mine have a thumb wiper blade which is very useful - i wear silk inner gloves in cold weather, they aren't very expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloaf Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Found time today for a ride out to get some new ones, went for the Spada Enforcers you don't want them girly yellow ones though,, not even if your a girl, they will make you look like a lezza but I kept well away from those girly yellow ones as I didn't want to look like a ponce. They are a bit longer than my old ones which is a bonus as they fit much better over the cuffs of my jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatloaf Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yes I noticed that, I suppose I should really switch to my full faced now that it's getting colder, then it would be really usefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjimrd Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Cold weather gloves are very important. In the cold weather, your body loses heat faster than it is able to produce it. This will cause your body to lose heat faster than it can be replaced. This can cause you to freeze from the inside out. It is recommended that you use gloves that have a name brand and have a rating for cold weather.I'm using this Iron JIA’s Waterproof Motorcycle Gloves.
