Hi,

Does anyone have experience with Knox Cold Killers products?
If so how would you rate them and how "water-repellent" are they?
The gloves and top are what Im looking at specifically.

Thanks for the help.

Ive just taken a whole range of the cold killers stuff in...

From the small selection i have seen they are serious bits of kit!

The top especially, havent seen the gloves as yet.

I have both the Cold Killers top and the glove liners and I can highly recommend both of them. They are very effective and they are thin enough not to hamper movement. However if you want waterproof forget it, they aren't made for that and you will need to make sure you have decent waterproof kit to start with.

Got the gloves and did two 1 hour jorneys yesterday, both useing my Wolf Kangaroo gloves.

Hands did eventually get cold and hurt abit but without the gloves it would of happend alot sooner and my hands would have came out worse.

Good product, not quite as good as full winter gloves though.

Really want to try the top now as even with 2 layers, leathers then a fleece still didnt keep my body that warm due to wind.

Sadly my winter gloves are abit naff, Rev'It Quicksilvers.

Plenty warm and waterproof but the lineing inside has some loose, so everytime I take my hands out so does the lineing.
Eventually leads to trying to get it back in but it allways bunches up right at the end of the fingers.
