Hey there,

As my all season leather gloves start chilling after 10-15 minutes, I've been looking for a warmer pair.

I'm having a bit of a problem where they neither fit under, nor over my leather jacket cuff Neutral my hands are medium, 7-8

Most gloves (a few spada, richa and some others) I tried at the shop won't open enough to go over the cuff unless they're way too big for my hand, and if I try and stick them inside they just bunch up with clothes and my don't go all the way into the hand. The crab hand fit, but I found it horrible, so no thanks!!

Anyone have similar problems??

I gather you're on some kind of police 'watch' list.

My gauntlet type gloves have enough give to go around my leather cuffs.

I also tuck my jumper sleeves into my inner gloves before I put the main ones on.

👍

Ive never had this problem with leather jackets, designed to go under the cuff. Most of my jackets have been alpine star and quite a few different gloves.

What jacket do you have?


Jumper sleeves!?!? they should not protude past the jacket cuff.

That's what I figured he meant. Strange to put fashion ahead of being warm.... 🤦‍♂️

Apologies for deserting the post, had left bike for first service and tire change (OEMs sucked) and went away.

I have an Akito lether and a Wolf Outlast (fine "as new" bargains from ebay Mr. Green )
It's the same as this one give or take: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/akito-leather-motorcycle-jacket/264098811911?hash=item3d7d841007:g:CrcAAOSwa3lcB8p3:rk:3:pf:0


I found some Weise gloves that are wide enough to fit over, but with the cuff thin enough that it can also go inside. However, not really happy, when coming back at 8pm I arrived with very cold hands, so want to return them. I don't see me riding in heavy rain much, so only fitting outside wouldn't be bad.

I have yet to try the Richa cold protect/carbon I read were very warm, I've checked in 3 stores around me but none had them.

Thanks for posting guys, except for the tape suggestion... Shocked
