Looking for a good cold weather gloves, but also looking for the glove to not be bulky on the palms or bottom of the fingers. so to keep a close grip on the grips. I find it uncomfortable when the glove is to bulky to hold the grip easily. any suggestion? | ||

I've got some Tourmaster coldfront carbon gloves I like a lot. Unfortunately like any warm winter glove, warmth comes at the cost of reduced feel on the controls. These are better than some I have tried on but are also not a perfect solution. I'm considering installing heated grips next winter and wearing lighter weight gloves year round. Patrick | ||

Widder Electric Gloves. You'll never go back to regular gloves, no thermostat needed and no, I don't work for them! | ||

I just got a pair of Tourmaster Winter Elite gloves & I have nothing but good things to say about them. I have the Buell handguards on my bike & I've ridden in 40 degrees with no problem. When it's colder or when raining, they have a rain cover that's attached to the bottom of the glove & stored in it's own pocket that'll make a nice wind block I imagine. Here's something of interest. I rode once in 40 degrees while wearing glove liners & my hands were colder. I think (as in not sure) that because I was just able to pull the gloves on with the liners on that all the thinsulate was compacted. Thus it was not able to trap air which gets heated by the body to keep everything warm. The next ride was sans the liners & my hands were warmer. I have yet to try them with the rain covers on but I'm thinking they'll make an even warmer difference. On edit: When I say 40 degrees I mean 40 degrees while maintaining speeds between 55 mph & 80 mph so there's a good wind chill factor to boot. (Message edited by metalstorm on March 06, 2006) | ||

Consider adding hand guards as well. They decrease the wind contact considerably and you don't need quite as heavy a glove. | ||

I have a set of Tourmaster polar-tex gloves and I have been very happy with them. I ride in below freezing conditions a lot during the winter and will pull on a set of glove liners to really stay warm. Good feel on the grips also. | ||

Tim, Is that this glove here? http://tinyurl.com/ok8v5 That says those come with a liner, is that the liners you mention or do you have another set of liners you add also? I need to pick up a better pair of winter gloves and those sound and look like they may be worth a try. Jack | ||

I bought a set of the new Buell gloves from DaveS. I have rode the Uly 500 miles in 26-38 degree weather. Hands were comfortable and they are waterproof. Check em out. | ||

I ride everyday to work 70 miles round trip. all i have to say is go to a good BMW shop, they sell the best gloves ever made. they have the best selection out of any other brand. I got a great pair that keep warm and dry year round. the only problem is that they were 150 bucks!! | ||

Just got the Polar-Tex by Tour Master. It is 40 degrees with 15 mph wind went 15 miles and fingers were freezen. Starten off was fine. How about the hand guards? Will they fit the Firebolt ? |
