Gloves

[Camp]

What gloves do you guys ride with? I have some summer gloves that work well but, I'd like to ride my bike to work this time of year and with as cold as it is at my house in the mornings, I'm liable to fall off going down the canyon because I can't feel my hands. Any suggestions for some gloves that break the wind well and keep your hands relatively warm?

If my hands can stay warm, I don't mind my legs or anything else getting cold but, my hands don't do well at 29F.

The best winter mod I've made is mounting MX handgaurds on the bars to break the wind. I' have lined leather motorcycle gloves (forget the brand - sorry) for winter use, but before the handgaurds, they were worthless. I also run rubber gloves under them when it's really cold.

Heated grips are always an option, too.

I don't think my Duc is going to get hand guards and it seems to have enough electrical issues that adding heated grips is probably a step in the wrong direction :D

I use the Olympia All Season I 4350's : http://www.olympiagloves.com/viewgloves.html

Ive worn them both on the bike and snowmobile, work great and keep the digits nice and toasty. I picked mine up at Performance Cycle for about $40.

I have some cheapie Triumph gloves that have worked well for my morning commutes.

$40 or so over at Erico.

I wear black leather with thinsulate lining big ski gloves in the morning, but I have a windshield that partially covers my grips too.

Ive got these: http://tourmaster.com/xcart/product.php?productid=110&cat=9

I love them in the winter! Ive ridden for about 2 hours with them on at about 30-35* with no problems. Ive got the same style but ventilated summer gloves too and love them as well. They proved great hand protection.

I rode in this morning with a pair of my ski gloves on and faired pretty well but, I'd like to get something like this. I just haven't had time to run down to Performance to grab a pair. The problem with the ski gloves is that they don't move as well as I'd like, therefore causing problems with my throttle motion on the grips.

I love these gloves. Very comfortable. They are stiched to have a curved hand position so it helps reduce fatigue on the hands. I have gone down with them too and although I broke a finger(pinky) I suffered no other damage and the glove could not have prevented that anyway. Ive got a matching set of summer gloves, Cortech Accelerators. They have the carbon reinforcements but are shorter and more breatherable and ventilated. On the winter gloves, the gauntlet style is nice to have too since I could tuck my jacket in and not worry about cold air up my sleeves.

I was at the Surplus store on S. Broadway at 285 today and bought some fleece lined neoprene Bike gloves that are really comfortable and they were only 20 bucks too. They should be good and warm. They are kind of spiderman looking but they had them in 2XL so what the hey.

Summer and winter gloves both leather Harley Davidson. Niether one is worth the money. The velcro on the summer ones (thin single layer of leather) lasted about a week. They wont stay closed. The winter gloves are insulated and have gauntlets. They are definitely better, but need liners below 38f.

No help for what to get. The fleece lined neoprenes sound good to me.

If I get a chance, I'll run down to the Surplus store and see if they have any left. That sounds to be about what I was needing. I need to swing by there and grab some more pants anyways so, just one more excuse to drop by. :D

camp if you need anything picked up over at Performance or the Surplus and it's easier to hook up with me to get, let me know. I am over at both at least once a week, maybe more often.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind. I usually have to run down there at lunch, which give me an excuse to get out of the office but..... :D
