Default Winter gloves

been pondering getting a pair of cold weather gloves for times I dont hook up/use the gerbings and saw these on closeout at motorcycle superstore.

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...Closeouts.aspx

been looking around at some others as well but these seem like a decent price.

the key to winter gloves is to wear nitrile or other thin rubber gloves under them

may have to try the nitrile glove thing. i have some in the garage anyway and my hands are still numb from riding in this morning. LOL I agree with Rangerscott hands and feet get cold as hell and fast. mid 30's when I left this morning and I was feeling it.
I've got some olympia winter gloves that are ok. not fantastic. i have thought about wearing snowmobile gloves.

These are awesome http://www.klimusa.com/product/Togwo...ove,172,98.htm but are not cheap.

1st glove my hands don't get cold in at snowmobile temps which is way colder than you would ever experience on the bike.

Removable liners so you pick the glove weight depending on the cold (I never seem to need the liners). Palms and fingers are just leather for great feel, no slipping on the levers/grips. I wear them deep mountain powder riding so you really need to be able to feel the bars/grips.

Wind break/insulation on the back of the hand where you need it most. Gortex for those rainy days......stay dry digging out of a trench in the snow.

When the weather starts to get chilly in michigan I tuck them in my trunk for the early day or evening riding to keep my hands warm. I hate to have cords attached to me and these work great! Have not tried the battery gloves to see if they are superior.
