Anyone using HD gloves?
My dealer has a lot of different HD brand gloves there.
Just wondering if anyone has tried them in the cooler weather.
I have a Fatboy Lo with no windshield. The only thing getting cool on me is my hands so I must need warmer gloves.
Or a new Street Glide with a faring! LOL
Thanks!

I have a pair. They are high quality but over priced. If you want to keep your hands warm in cold temps, look into heated gloves. They will keep your entire hand warm regardless of the outside temperature.

I have a pair of HD plain leather ones that have lasted 9 yrs. Not warm though. I also have a pair of the HD heavy gauntlet style that are pretty good, but not special--no quality issues and are warm, but I sure you could find similiar quality and effectiveness at a better price.

I agree with the heated gear comment. If you are riding a bike w/o a fairing you need to replace the heat that is being taken away from your hands wearing even the best gloves out there. I've tried a lot of different gloves (admittedly not HD gloves) and nothing short of heated gloves seems to help me. I use Gerbings G3s.

I have a pr of heated (plugs into bikes' battery) HD gloves, overpriced, but warm in temps in low 30's/high 20's.

As far as winter gloves, I was in need of some gloves on a ride. I bought a set of snow skiing gloves. I figured they would do what I needed, they're now 5 years old and my fingers only got cold in 22° weather on the way to work. They're not bulky and were 15 bucks.
For summer I had HD fingerless that lasted a long tome. Now have deer skin fingerless, very comfy.

I have a couple pairs from thin-skin to what are basically old Harley snowmobile gloves. Gloves are one of the few "HD branded" things I've found worth the extra money. And like the boots, if you shop around you can find them outside the dealerships and major savings.

Have 2 pairs. Got a deal when I bought the bike. One pair "fits like a glove" i.e. Snug n thin. Summertime wear. Other pair is thicker with some palm n knuckle padding and isnt snug. This pair is ok for 15 degree celcius weather. Now the temps in Oct have dropped to 5 degrees C already so I wore a thin pair of woolies underneath and so far they are ok. Suggest you get thicker or better, heated, gloves for low temps. As posted in other threads, its your feet and hands that get cold first and magnify discomfort.
