Might have been done before but I dont care!

Anyone recommed any decent winter gloves as i left mine in my garage and a mouse ate all the damn padding out!

I did get my own back on the little bugger.....A combination of cheese, wood and metal.

Any good suggestions? Not too bothered about price.

Hein Gericke is the place to go, my winter gloves are 8 years old and still very warm and waterproof. Avoid the Pathans though, the palm material splits if you so much as think about falling off.

Cheers

HG Pathan, or any other 'lobster claw' style glove is great in the winter.. Much easier to waterproof as they have less stitching than a 5-finger glove, and because you have fingers side-by-side in the same compartment, are much warmer.

Something like this:

Came up recently. It is winter after all.
See this thread for some other suggestions.

Never seen the 3 finger mitten before, might give it a go. Was always put off the full mitten due to the way I brake, so that is a happy medium. But, damn good price from the old friend m and P. Cheers Feef! Thumbs Up

Only one thing puts me off is how would I tell BMW drivers to swivell!

I had silk glove liners and they are the warmest but they have an addiction to velcro that completely wrecks them. I now use some cheap cotton ones that I bought off Ebay for £3 for 24 pairs. Not quite as warm but a hell of a lot cheaper.

Mind you, the heated grips go on this weekend Mr. Green

Cheers
