Need recommendations for winter gloves

['73 H1 Triple]

As I discovered on monday morning ( 25* ) my current cheapo gloves don't keep my hands warm.

Any recommendations for a good cold weather glove? Armored would be a plus.

Thanks
Jeff

have you tried heated grips?

Quick Fix til you find some. Wearing a set of latex or nitrile gloves under yours greatly increases their heat retention without adding bulk.

Sorry I don't have a recommendation, I wear my track gauntlets when it's cold. :idk:

How much do heated grips run? Any brand you recommend?

Between 50-100 last time i looked at newenough. As far as recommending any brand...I live in Florida. :lol: So I don't actually know how great they work, maybe some of the northern folks will chime in in a bit.

though not a subsatute for winter gloves... Knox makes "cold killer" glove liners... they're wind proof.

I've thought about them several times... be nice for road trips where you might have a cold morning but warm in the afternoon... and you save weight by just carry'n these liners rather than heavier gear.

heh they arent winter gloves in the slightest but my timax originals dont let the cold in at all and you really cant get much more armoured than that lol

I checked out the Timax, a bit out of my budget right now. I'll also check out heated grips too. I'll need to see how much my alternator puts out.

Thanks :cheers:

I've been using a knock-off brand of Hippo Hands for over 30 years. Here's a pair on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/hippo-hands-by-vetter-motorcycle-hand-warmers_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c39 Q3a1Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp328 6Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem330279907939QQitemZ33027990 7939
It keeps the wind off your hands so you can wear lightweight gloves underneath and completely feel the controls.

I have some scott snowmobiling gloves... they work great.

I think the model is the viking

MotoGP has some nice gloves. Check'em out.

Those old Hippo Hands on ebay are up to $65 with less than 3 hours left. I have all my touring gear on my CBR in my avatar. Saddlebags, tankbag, tall windscreen, and Hippo hands. Here's a better picture.

I have to feel the controls, so I can't wear snowmobile gloves. The Hippo Hands keep the wind off your hands. If you have heated grips, you can wear summer gloves underneath the Hippo Hands.

The Cortech SCARAB gloves line also has a winter model. I have it and I'd say that it's good down to 40-F.

I use the insulated Z1R gauntlet, 3M insulation and good till it gets below freezing...

I stop over at Montgomeryville Cycle Center and purchased a pair of Olympia All Season Gore-Tex gloves. Model/style GT4150.

I asked Bob ( who I've been dealing with since the early 80s) what he recommended for winter gloves. He asked how cold I would be riding in and when I said it was 25* this past monday, he went right for these Olympia's. He said if these don't work, my only other option is electric gloves.

They were a bit more than what I was planing on spending but figure I only have to spend $89. once.

:lol: So Cal pussy. 40 is barely chilly:sorry:

I wear my Adrenaline down to 40. The Scarab Winter only come out when it's really freaking cold.

I'm thinking of picking some of those up for the winter mornings here in FL myself. I've heard good things about them.

I am looking into winter gloves too. Yesterday morning I think my fingers were nearly frostbitten. Had to run them under cold to luke warm water to start feeling anything more than pressure in the tips again. Might try the Latex gloves idea, but also considereing the A* Vega Drystars.

I rode to work today and wore my new Olympia Goretex gloves. They worked great. I knew it was cold but it wasn't as bad as my cheapo gloves.

It was about 27* this morning when I left for work and I stayed about 50-55 mph for most of the 18 mile ride to work.
