Winter gloves recommendation

[tim0409]

Hi,

I have some Richa Goretex winter gloves but since replacing my helmet with a new Arai I find it really difficult to open the visor. You need to get your finger behind the visor to unlatch it, and whilst it’s fine with summer gloves, the bulk of my winter gloves makes it a two handed operation.

I’m looking for recommendations for less bulky winter gloves (I have heated grips) if such a thing exists!

Thanks in advance.

Held Score 4.0 would be my recommendation - they're more of an autumn glove really (goretex but not much thermal insulation), but if you find them cold in deep winter you could try some glove liners.

I like them because they wear like a summer glove but without the windchill from ventilation, and have the waterproof element (and visor wipe).

I don't know how thin they need to be, but my Weise heated gloves are not very bulky compared to others. Work much better than heated grips, too.

Leatt Subzero 7.5 gloves, not too bulky and will keep your hands warm.

Are there any decent heated glove liners? Would mean you could use a thinner glove but also use the liners off the bike too !

Well I bought a pair of Held 4 quattrotempi gloves last year and frankly I might as well be wearing boxing gloves - absolutely no feel whatsoever. I guess they will break in eventually. They are superbly made though.

So I can't help other than to agree that less bulky gloves are a good idea.

I was swithering between the ones I bought and some heated gloves. Should have spent the extra £60 or whatever it was and gone for the heated ones in retrospect.

I have a pair of them, I'm inclined to agree. I pretty much only ever use them in "dry" setting, where there is less insulation on your palm, with heated grips. You get used to the bulk, but after spending the summer in think off-road gloves it's quite a contrast!

I got this set of gore Tex Triumph gloves, I believe they are rebranded Alpinestars. Haven't tried them out in heavy rain, but only a thinsulate lining which still provides more warmth than a summer glove but good feel. Palm sides are all leather. Definitely adequate with my KTM heated grips when the dash is flashing ice warning!

Thanks for all the recommendations, including the heated option. I fitted Triumph heated grips despite the cost as they integrate but they are nowhere near as hot as my old Oxford grips I had on a previous bike, so thinner heated gloves might be an option.

I think there is no way back once you've tried heated gloves.

Macna heated are rhe best I've tried

Yep, Keis do heated inner gloves but ensure you try them with the gloves they will go inside.

For the ultimate comfort new style bar muffs are a game changer but not always suitable for some bike handlebars.

I've got Furygan heated gloves which are ok, but the battery packs are a bit of an interference around the wrists & the gloves are pretty bulky.
My current bike doesn't have heated grips, but has excellent hand guards that are almost windproof. Like the op, I too am in the market for decent thin autumn/winter gloves which will work in the 10c range & would like some recommendations.
