Nogin Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 If you don't have heated grips my advice is wear a thin cotton glove and then a winter glove over it. Leave enough room so you can move your fingers about. These sort of gloves are just the job. If your glove is too small you'll find your fingers freeze quickly.A friend of mine uses a muff. Not the nest looking thing but it keeps him warm.Plus he says no better way to start the day by sticking your hand in a warm muff! Quote
TC Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Heated grips and decent gloves will only keep your hands warm for so long in this weather.I wear Halvarssons Gloves with heated grips, but fingers still get chilly at the ends after about an hour.Those gloves look ok, you could also try wind deflecters which fit on your handlebars or handlebar muffs which your hands fit inside.

RiffmasterII Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Heated grips and bar muffs are the only way to keep your hands warm, I've tried all kinds of gloves and still end up with my hands on the exhaust after 30 mins! Quote
Tango Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Yeah....most dispatch riders I see have bar muffs.....so that may be your best option. I have some Spada Enforcer gloves...which do a pretty good job of keeping my hands warm for a while....although there are some doubts about just how waterproof they actually are. I've never ridden in the wet with them yet....but others have and say they leak after a short while.....so we'll see. Quote
Throttled Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Knox cold killers help, but even with silk gloves, the cold killers and then goretex gloves with handguards the tips of my fingers would still get cold. The difference was how quickly they warmed up again and with teh above the answer was very quickly, even slowing down helped. Quote
Whitechapel Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I have Tuzo gloves, but a different kind. Although they have Thinsulated material and look warm, my hands get pretty cold in minus temperatures after a couple of miles.I think they're okay for the price. Quote
keith565 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 i just bought the oxford bone dry 2 fingered gloves a few weeks ago as although i have heated grips, my fingertips are getting bloody cold. since i got them, i've not needed my heated grips on, my fingers (and hands) stay toasty warm.have a look at these from ghost bikes.http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/3917 ... loves.htmlalso on ebayhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OXFORD-TRI-DI ... 805wt_1023 Quote
dimmers Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 i'm another one who likes the vulcan style gloves!i've got some by hein gericke, wish i'd got a pair sooner. They give you that extra bit of time before you hands start to go numb, and as my commute is only 30 minutes, they work great for me. Quote
