has anyone else had any problems with their gloves? I have worn mine for the first time today.. wasn't out long but i felt clumsy using my indicators with my gloves on infact it felt awkward.. my gloves are seem to be the right size but i am guessing its the thickness?

You'll get used to it.

I find the same thing happens when I switch from summer gloves to my winter ones. Takes a few days but you will get comfy.

I hate winter gloves, I ride in summer gloves until absolutely necessary normally mid December to mid January

I absolutely hate thick gloves, I am using a nice pair of alpinestars sp2 at the moment, they sit quite tight with the fingers so I don't feel like my movement is restricted.

It's the same with my snowsports gloves, it took me ages(and about 100 quid) to find a pair that didn't make me feel like I was gimp handed.

If I can avoid it I won't be using winter gloves.

I did my CBT in thick gloves and was really struggling with the indicators and kept sounding the horn instead of cancelling them. Soon after, I bought some thinner gloves and found it much easier.

Invest in some Tucano Urbano handlebar muffs and you can wear summer gloves well into the depths of winter. Couple with heated grips and you likely don't need winter gloves at all.

Muffs + summer gloves > winter gloves.

i kept doing the same on my cbt! lol kept sounding the horn... was rather embarrassing lol i am getting use to them all but getting summer gloves make sense .. i will stick to these fora few more days and see what happens.. with my bike though.. to cancel the indicator i need to push the switch back over to the middle but i kept pushing it too far! (stupid gloves) lol so i looked rather stupid indicating opposite sides!!
