Time for some new ones as my current ones are a bit past it. Looking for some all year round gloves, but have no idea where to start. Any particularly good brands or gloves in particular you'd recommend? Also, once the price starts to rise (£50+) are these gloves actually any better or are you just paying for a better brand?

Cheers.

I would buy two pairs, one summer and one winter.

I have some RST Rift summer gloves and find them good, cost me £30.00 Thumbs Up

+1

The trouble I find is the stink after a few weeks. You sweat in the gloves during summer, even in light ones. Now I know its not me because as a chef I know my hands are clean.

Any tips on solving this issue?

I'm looking to get a pair of Weise Tornado gloves myself. Tried them on a few weeks back and they're really comfy compared to my old gloves.
Been in a few stores trying on gloves since and couldn't find anything that fit right so will probably go with the weise ones and for £50 it's not like it's a fortune and the reviews on are all good.

The thing with gloves is they always feel a little strange when you put them on the first time. I thought my new pair were a little big for me until the leather was broken in. now they seem to fit snuggly.

All new gloves havent had the wear in them that moulds them to your hands and since they only tend to come in small, med and large your limited and its hard to get a perfect fit from the shelf.

Buy a pair that feels comfortable and as close to a fit as you can get and they will sort themselves out.

At least thats what I have found. But then I prob have weird sized hands! Laughing

ALPINESTARS WR-V Motorcycle Gloves Gore-Tex Waterproof

Alpinestar 365 -

Both good gloves... Both costly

One set is leather with gortex, one is just chunky textile.

I ride max 50 miles a day - much prefer the plastic fuel pump gloves underneath my gloves.... works alright and saves a fair bit Laughing

Impossible to have just one glove.

Have 3 pairs personally, 1 spring/autumn , 1 summer & one winter. But I do commute in all weathers.

I dunno. I heartily dislike 'winter' style gloves, and found that a pair of silk inners (or what hein gericke implied were silk, not making that mistake again!) and their neoprene lobster things for when it got blisteringly cold did the job nicely.

However, a pair of muffs for winter riding is the way forwards. This year I've got heated grips as well, I can't imagine how much of a change it'll be Very Happy

Kushitani make some really good goretex sports gloves. Ideal for summer through autumn. My old SGL 4's have done me a few years, and are probably hard to find now.

For proper winter, there's always Dane.
