All Year Gloves

Post by goatpants »

Can anyone recommend some all year round gloves? Not too worried about warmth cos I got heated grips but would be nice to be waterproof

cheers :D

I've never found a pair that are properly waterproof. I've always used winter gloves plus over gloves. Dry gloves = warm hands.

The same for feet, I'm gonna invest in some over boots.

Have previously used Spada Enforcers which were superbly toasty but downside is the lining is so thick you lose a lot of feel, also the lining sticks out the bottom of the cuffs and if it gets wet it gets very wet and takes days to dry out.

Currently wearing Weise Montana gloves which arent that warm but are completely waterproof, the lack of warmth may be due o them being a bit too tight on me when fingers curl round the grips and opening the seams. Due to pick up some Furygan gloves this week which are meant to be good.

Have a look at http://www.mandp.com......a" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; good selection at good prices...........measure your hand all the way round at your knuckle position to get the right size i.e. 9"=large :)

Is there such a thing as "all Year" gloves?

I use BMX style or thin leather with Carbon Fibre protectors for Summer.,and "Frank Thomas Sub Zero Aqua" for winter. (now over 20 years old but still perfect)

I use the Spada Enforcer gloves, mine are the hi viz ones, waterproof and warm, didn't use the heated grips at all last year, saying something about the gloves when you have a metal plate in one hand that hurts when cold. Using them again now, love them, yeah a little bit bulky than my summer gloves but warm and dry wins everytime
