I have a pair similar to these:



I used to have a crappy pair but got sick of the cold wet hands. Double these up with a set of hotgrips and all your worries will be over. Definately worth spending the extra bit on...

Well I have them AS 365 sitting here and while they are designed for all year round riding they deffo fall short on the cold days. There is absolute no thermal padding at all. They are just a well made leather glove with goretex membrane. I also have the grips fitted and you still could not use them in this weather for a long run....

But they are a fantastic glove but should be call Alpinestars 265 coz for the 100 days or so of winter they are useless. I have mine about 13mths now and they are still perfect.

45 mins on the road a day each way, 25 of it on M1 - I haven't tried a proper gore-tex glove, but I have tried inners etc, but no luck. The only thing that actually works for me is the Gerbings heated gloves. Toasty warm all the way thru even on day like today, which reminds me, I need to spray some water repellent in it again as it got soaked thru this morning.

Well I found that "GORETEX" does not make the glove warmer (and I have 3 pairs of Goretex Gloves)...its a breathable membrane which does help keep the chill out, but most if not all winter gloves (good brands) have the Goretex and an extra Thermal layer to combat the cold.

I have never managed to find a warm glove that actually fits me.
Anything warm i tried on was always massive on my thumbs and too bulky on my fingers. I couldn't use my thumbs at all for the controls and couldn't grip the pars properly caus the bulky fingers.

Ive just suffered through with some basic Richa leather gloves that i would never wanna wear coming off caus they have basically no padding.

Ahh if you take the time and go to a shop that has alot of stock you would get sorted alright Gary.

The HG gloves I did use up until now are only £60 now in HG Belfast. I paid £110 for them about 8ths ago. And they are good for all but the really cold days.

Yeah no doubt once i get out on a proper gear shopping trip i will find the stuff.
Apart from my boots im still using the beginner gear i bought 3 years ago.

Trying to save up the money and then just go get all new gear.

Only twice. Had a pair of Richa Arctic gloves and they were savage!! Very warm and comfy. I also had a pair of Richa Monsoon pants. They're like wearing sleeping bags on your legs. Toasty and dry.

Have a leather jacket (with only a few surface tears and no real damage after a skid down the road, held up really really well), leather pants and textile pants and never any bother with the quality of them. Textile pants keep me bone dry and warm. Himself has gloves, not sure which ones but they're winter gloves, and same again, bone dry and warm.

I have a brand new pair of Richa Cold Protect GTX in size L. Un-used with the tags still on.

They are out of stock most places, I got a pair of L and XL from Germany, XL was a better fit.

I'll sell the L pair for what I paid €120 if anyone is interested, otherwise I'll be sending them back.
