gloves - thin winter ones?

[bigdom86]

hi all

waterproof/slightly warm gloves. I find it very difficult to find gloves which fit as I have wide hands but short fingers the only gloves which I seem to fit into are the elasticated cuff type as the type with the velcro closure I can't get my palm through and unless I buy a size way too big in finger length, these gloves in a Large fit me perfect and I rode 2 years with them (with numb and cold hands in winter - thats why I am looking for something similar but waterproof and perhaps slightly more warm), i prefer the thin palm type as I find proper winter gloves I cannot really feel the clutch and brake very well

The only real protection for warm and dry hands in the winter, is a pair of muffs.

There really isn't any other way.

I wear thin Bering racing gloves year round:

They're very thin. They look very much like this:

But they have a bigger wrist area.

They don't provide any warmth and they are not water proof whatsoever. After years of looking for gloves that don't leak after a few weeks I thought meh...

But I keep my handlebar muffs on all year round. It works pretty well.

As above, non waterproof summer gloves with muffs.

luckily I just commute in London so don't pick up crazy speeds so not too cold but it does get a bit nippy, I may need to bite the bullet and stick on muffs this winter as last winter was a bit of a killer. muffs on a sportsbike though but who cares

which heated grips you guys recommended? it will be fitting to a cbr 600 f4i if that matters

Last two bikes have been OEM fitted, but have heard people had success with the Oxford Hotgrips, maybe someone has more info.

Current line of premium oxfords are good, the touring ones are very comfortable, but I found them a bit short for my 2xl shovel-hands. Adventure ones are about an inch longer. measure the grips fitted to your bike and compare to oxford specs.

I like goretex + xtrafit gloves for wet weather riding in the summer and general winter use, with muffs during the worst of it. Frustratingly the IXS gloves I like have been discontinued and I'm looking for a suitable replacement as I've had this set 4 years and they're on their last legs.
