Given it's getting a bit on the cold side was wondering what's the best winter gloves you've used?

Tried on a pair of Pathan's this morning and wasn't that impressed.

Not going to bother with muffs, heated grips or heated glove inserts.

Be good to hear some glove recommendations. I brake (cover the brake) with two fingers anyway so lobster-claws look like a good option.

Read in another thread that BMW have a set that are meant to be much better than Pathan's. What are they called?


thanks

I'm still a big fan of Spada Enforcers. Some people have stated that they've had leakage problems and the like, but I've not had any such issues with mine.

They're not lobster-claw types, though, so I don't know if they'll be something you'd consider.

Well you didn't rule out heated gloves, so I am going to suggest Gerbings XR12. Connects straight to bikes battery (or you can buy battery pack that you can charge - so no cables anywhere), and I recommend them not only because Gerbings are rated positively by every review I have seen so far, or becase Fearless Felix was wearing them for his space jump - but because they are on a group by at VisorDown, so you can buy save about 40% on the cost (down from 159 to 99 £): https://www.buyapowa.com/ref/NDKmuL - I am getting one myself.

PS: This is the third thread I am posting about that co-buy, apologies if I appears to be spamming the site at this stage. Embarassed

Despite the potential tinned meat aspect, this guy's got a good idea. An ex-courier mate of mine swears by heated gloves, and I believe those are the same brand that he uses. Given that he's bordering on emaciated, and it successfully keeps his hands warm throughout the worst winters, I'm guessing that they're pretty good.

That'll be cause you can get them for free if you refer enough buyers. I'm normally highly dubious about people offering advice where they can profit, ie. affiliate links, but actually these look like some thing to consider.

First I was like OMG Embarassed, and then I was like Very Happy Laughing

But yes, you are right. On both counts.

/PS Too lazy to look up an appropriate meme for the above.
