Winter Riding Gloves
First cold spell in this part of the country today. I'm going into my first winter of riding since I was a teenager, need some winter glove suggestions. Oh, and I'm a cheap SOB.

RE: Winter Riding Gloves
I am a wimp when it comes to my fingers and toes being cold. I use the HD winter gloves with Gortex. They work pretty well. I found the key to keeping your hands and feet warm is keeping your chest warm. Warm heart pumps more blood ot the fingers & toes.

Olympia makes good gloves. I have a pair of their Gortex gloves. Using them with poly pro military liners is good down to about 30 or so. Below that, I use Gerbings heated gloves. The Olympia gloves are about 65 bucks a pair. The liners are about 5 bucks.

Seriously, I hope you know that was in fun, I just got the H-D Gortex gloves ($75) and they really are good for me.
I'll slink back into the corner and wait for the hit upside the back of my head.

Check out snowmobile gloves. I had some when I was in Alaska, and you couldn't really wear them unless you were outside on a snowmobile or they were too hot.

RE: Winter Riding Gloves
I've been going a bit crazy over this myself -- I have a mild vascular problem that turns my hands into numb blocks of ice if I don't keep them reasonably warm. I will probably go with heated gloves at some point, but as a new rider, added bulk and loss of handgrip "feel" really worries me.
So I picked up a pair of the H-D "windshield" gloves and they worked surprisingly well on my first interstate ride yesterday. I also bought a pair of silk liners to add when it gets colder.
Good luck with your search,
JT

RE: Winter Riding Gloves
Did my first 32 degree ride of the season this morning. Brutal! I couldn't find my old army/navy store leather & knit lined gloves and just used some heavy lined leather gloves. Fingers were freezing within 5 minutes. Looks like I'll have to get me some of those HD gortex gloves.
