bike gloves that melt? or my own stupidity?

[Wonko The Sane]

Bought some gloves on sat (it's now friday) and worn them 4 days out of the 5 this week and they're great gloves, just starting to wear in after being a little tight in places.

this morning was similar temp to the rest of the week so didn't wear my heated gloves but the ride home was really cold in the rain so stopped as I've often done to warm my hands by putting my hands in a gap in the fairings, done this trick with four pairs of gloves I've had over the past three years without issue.

This pair however I've melted the ends of the fingers just holding my hands in there a couple of mins.

Ok, I accept you may not design gloves to be held against the exhaust manifold, however it was the radiator (so not quite as hot), but how many of us have put our gloves on the seat or somewhere else on the bike and them fall / blow onto the exhaust?

Isn't it a bit daft to make a bike glove that melts?

A little bit annoyed about this

Once put my wet gloves on top of a boiler to dry off for a few hours before a return trip of 200 miles.

Melted the thumbs which I had to cut off allowing me to at least get my fingers in them .......... PAINFUL THUMBS
