Cold Weather None Waterproof Gloves...... are they a thing?

[rpsmith79]

As a self confessed dry weather rider, the cold generally doesn't bother me, as I can layer up on my legs and upper body, however, it's usually my hands that give out first from the constant battering of cold air.

I current own some Rev'it Cater 2 gloves that were sold as having 'windstopper technology' (some sort of Goretex, but not a waterproof liner), and while they are superior to my Summer gloves, below 5°C they struggle to keep my hands warm, even on my short commute to work.

I also own some Waterproof Winter gloves, but as most folk know, these can be a bit on the thicker side, and the waterproof lining can cause issues once your hands get sweaty/clammy.

So my question is, does anyone out there actually make thermal, but NONE Waterproof gloves........... if so, then please take my money

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Put on latex gloves first. Double sheath that hand.

Can you fit hand guards on your bike? If so, do so. Otherwise what others have said. Oh, by the way, I also have somewhat good results with taping over all the vent holes in my summer gloves, to prevent any cold ram air going inside the gloves.

I use silk glove liners with summer gloves throughout the year, although I ride much less in winter these days. Supposedly they’re good for keeping heat in, and although I wouldn’t say they’re toasty they might be helping. In summer they wick sweat and make it easier to put gloves on and off. I originally bought them to avoid skin irritation. Jasmine or Trek brands from Amazon, about a tenner. They do wear through at the fingertips, particularly when they contact Velcro.

I use these:

My commute is 17 miles each way, mostly A roads and these have been ideal.

Gore Infinity under gloves are brilliant at converting summer gloves to three season gloves. They don't offer much insulation as such, but they are windproof and that makes a big difference.

Good example:

In terms of keeping your hands warm, unless you go for heated something you're always going to be on the wrong side of a losing battle. Fingers (and feet) don't generate heat like the main organs of your body do and your extremities are the first parts the body starts to restrict the flow of nice warm blood to when it starts to fell its core getting cold. On a bike wind chill is your worst enemy and winter gloves are waterproof, windproof and have a healthy amount of insulation for a good reason.

I have heated grips and neoprene bar mitts on my 125 commuter, means I can use summer gloves in the winter.
Also have a big top box so look like a deliveroo gimp riding it though.

Managed to bag a pair of these cheap, and they work a treat, not so bulky that you can't feel the controls, but just about keep your hands, and more importantly your finger tips, warm enough to not bother me on this mornings 6°C commute to work
