Thin palm gloves - but thick elsewhere

Ok, it is a bit chilly out at the mo, now I have heated grips (and poor circulation in my hands it seems), I am also using some kangaroo leather gloves. For those that are not aware, Kangaroo is four times as strong as cow hide, so can be 1/4 thickness with same protection.

Anyway, I love the 'feel' of summer gloves, especially these kangaroo ones, I find winter gloves reduce the feel significantly. Clearly having stupidly cold hands in sub zero temperatures does that too!! Confused

Anyway, like I said, I have heated grips, so I have concluded the ideal glove to me would be a thin palmed glove, to allow feel and heat transfer from the grips, but thick and insulated upper half to keep the wind chill off and the heat in ... does such a thing exist?!?!!?

I'd well recommend adding muffs to keep the warm air in - seems to make a big difference, even the quite loose oxford ones on the KTM.

Tucano Urbano for A to B road riding where you keep your hands on the bars.

The oxford ones, or similar which aren't as warm but make it a lot easier to replace your hands on the bars are better for off-roading.

Your link just goes to a generic page on J&S. I suspect the £30 oxford ones on there are the same as mine (the pic is wrong), £20 ones will probably do the job too.

I was looking at the Dr Bike ones, although I have just stopped wearing my kangaroo skin gloves and started wearing my Autumn gloves. haven't used my winter gloves since I got the heated grips.

I found the combination of the Oxford ones with heated grips means that when I lost a wintery glove, I was ok through northern Europe with a motocross glover and silk inner glove on my right hand.
However, that was a minimum temperature of 6 degrees - the Tucano ones are more expensive (I think it was actually about £35 I got mine for new on ebay, but they're normally £50), but they are very good at keeping the cold air out and worth the extra money. It does take a bit of getting used to.
