Cold hands

heard good things about Exo2 StormShield heated gloves:

better value than gerbing from what i have seen on the net
think i’m going to invest in a pair next month

I bought the Alpinestars Jet Road Goretex gloves last year - great gloves, nice and warm even the coldest temps! The very tips of my fingers still got cold tho but I dont even heated grips would stop that but I can live with cold finger tips for a couple of months :slight_smile:

I had a pair of the JetRoad Goretex. To be honest didn’t rate them that much for warm, but the crash protection is spot on with the carbon knuckles.

I always found if i was getting to cold when you get to a red light just hunch over your tank and put your gloved hands on the engine covers warms up nicely. just remember to wear gloves though okay!

Any result of burnt hands has nothing to do with me or LB please use your noodle:P

ive also tried the warming hands on engine a couple of time… but only with my old FT gloves :smiley:

as Kevsta said the quicker you go the colder you get… so you could always ride slowly!! :hehe: :stuck_out_tongue:

Not very good in the protection stakes ,but cheap and cheerful.they also do a vest .

Ditto…or ride along with the left hand on the frame near the engine cos that gets nice and warm. At least one of ya hands are warm then till ya stop! :smiley:

The alround best solution I found was when I rode Vespa - the headlight, which is right in front of you, would warm through a glove in ten seconds so there was plenty of time to warm both hands thoroughly at every red light.

anyone have any experience with Racer Pluvio Gore-Tex Gloves, my Racer summer gloves are the best thing I have ever bought thought I might give there winter gloves a go as my Alpine Stars have fallen apart

Very bad habit covering the clutch/brake, Stop it now or i’ll be round to slap the back of your legs!:stuck_out_tongue:

Just put nice furry muffs on mine. Twenty quid from J&S, look a bit of a plank (like that matters on a GSX750F) but they make a hell of a difference. Last Tuesday night I had to ride home from north Yorkshire in terrible conditions (wind, rain, cold), and the only bit of me that wasn’t complaining by the time I got home was my hands.

They don’t seem to interfere with my controls and I’m just wearing mesh gloves under them. I reckon heated grips would be the icing on the cake… maybe next payday…

Would love to be able to warm my hands on the engine but my bike is 90% fairing, 5% frame, 3% wheels and only 2% engine so I can’t get much contact with any warm bits.

Cheers,
Duncan

Looks like the Triumphs pipes are going to come in handy this winter then .:smiley:

If I was you, I would move to maybe Antiga or maybe the Cuba, the weather is nice out that way and you will not have to worry about such things!

Ok thanks, glad I could help :hehe::w00t::wink:

+1, good gloves

would need go go gadget arms for that and would also have to put the bright beam on for both sides :stuck_out_tongue:

That would be just perfect - esp cos I prefer going left around roundabouts :smiley: …although I preferred Argentina to Cuba.
Or maybe Spain would be easier. Thanks

Its the fingertips I worry about. Maybe I need mitts???

nothing fully stops the fingertips issues. dont like the lack of dexterity with mitts personally but whatever works.

not to mention covering the brake :wink:

i just use the oxford thermal liners inside a slightly larger pair of gloves lets the air circulate a bit more instead of gloves being stretched tight on fingers seems to work :slight_smile:

This could be a health thing, caused by poor circulation.

My wife suffers from cold hands in doors @ central heating too high.

I’ve needed nothing more than a pair of Spada WP cloves for the last few years for rides up to 60 miles. I do have hand guards on the trail bike.

But as a hard drinking, fag smoking old fart, what do I know?
