 Posted: 23:14 - 17 May 2016 Post subject: Advice on winter / waterproof gloves? |
 |
|
Just completed a tour around much of France (there will be a juicy post with pics etc once I can get to it)
Brought two pairs of "winter" gloves, by which I mean thick leather, waterproof up to a point, and a soft inner lining.
Two pairs, one day after the other, completely stuffed because they got so thoroughly soaked that the liner came out with the glove, either completely or just the fingers, and there appears to be no way on God's green earth that they are going back in.
I liked them coz (a) they weren't *too* expensive (one pair Weise, the other pair Richa, which have done a great job and were picked up from a BSB event), (b) they were pretty damn good in all but the heaviest of downpours, and (c) they were leather and armoured and warm and I felt comfortable with all of that
So are there any that BCF would recommend which are preferably leather and armoured (and warm importantly) and also waterproof, or at least if they do get soaked can be put back on once they're off (preferably without costing a bomb but I'm open to all ideas)?
Because riding bare handed in the pissing rain coz your f*ing glove won't go back on after stopping to check directions is not bloody fun. ____________________ Then: Kawasaki ZZR250 > Suzuki Across 250 > Suzuki SV650 > Honda CB750

There are a lot of gloves where the liner will pull out if you don't take them off carefully by pinching the liner finger tips as you ease them off.
I'm using Spada Enforcer gloves for the winter* - have kept my hands pretty warm. Must admit, I don't ride in the rain much these days, but seem to remember an earlier version of them coped quite well. Some folks find them a bit thick and bulky, as do I if I haven't worn them for a while, but soon get used to it again.
I have a pair of AStars Goretex gloves. They don't keep my hands dry
*Am I really talking about winter gloves just as summer arrives?  ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Currently using a pair of IXS Gore-Tex jobbies that cost ~£80. Thin but so far (4000 miles later) they remain totally waterproof. Because they're thin it can get a bit chilly if it's cold but I just whack the heated grips up.. ____________________ NSR125RR - ZXR750H1 - ZX9R E1 - GSF600S - GSF600SK3 - VFR400-NC30 - SV1000N - ST1100-R - CBR900RR-R - GSF1200SK5 - GSF600SK1 - VFR1200FA - GSXR1000K2 - ZZR1400 D8F

Old Thread Alert!
