Gotta be Alpinestars for a good glove with a slim fit

I know they look a little crap but for me you'll not beat handle bar muffs, you can wear your summer gloves under them. Did an experiment once and took my glove off, rode at normal speed for a mile and my hands didn't get cold

:agree

So sometimes if it gets really cold I use those latex gloves under my normal bike gloves, I found they actually do work, although they do rip a quite easy on removal so I keep loads under the seat and they're also handy for roadside tinkering if it's required :eek

Do you mean marrigolds like your missus wears when doing the dishes or the ones that a surgeon wears when doing your ------Chose your operation ---------------------------------
I have never heard of that one, yes ladies -oooh --tights on your legs but that is a new one for me. Is it a Scottish thing ?

I don't have a missus anyhow so I have my own marigolds :lol but it's surgical / mechanics / ambalance latex gloves that I have, whatever is going free wherever I'm delivering to, and of course being Scottish I ain't going to pay for them :b
I never mentioned tight wearing, but as you did, are they any good? :lol

Re: winter gloves - fazersharp - 13-10-15

Tights apparently are perfect as they fit "tight " as the name would suggest under your leathers, personally I prefer stockings - but that's another story

Im gonna give the rubber gloves a try but would of thought that they make your hands sweat which would then go cold

You'll need to tell us all now :b

Edit...2nd thoughts, keep it to yourself :eek

There's different types of these gloves, I've found the best ones are from the medical people, the others do tend to sweat your hands as you say, but it's still better than freezing fingers. And another hint is to get larger size than you need as this makes them loose fitting Smile

That all said, my heated grips are used mainly in that sort of weather if I get caught in it, if it's that cold I'm the morning I take the car as don't want to risk skidding on the bike.

Re: winter gloves - fireblake - 13-10-15

My worry with Stockings and Marigolds is having an "Off". Can you imagine the shits and giggles down A+E when they cut your leathers off?

Marigolds you'd get away with, whereas with stockings, your right Smile

Re: winter gloves - fireblake - 13-10-15

Oh and Marigolds have a fleecy lining to help prevent sweating

Well you seem to be the latex expert but a little disappointing that you jump in the car when it gets a little too cold for rubber

Re: winter gloves - Val - 13-10-15

Alpinestars gloves are not bulky.

Three finger gloves. Merino inner gloves, Keis heated inner gloves.

Have them all. All work to an extent.

Nothing beats muffs though Smile

Re: winter gloves - Robbie8666 - 14-10-15

I've got some karrimor thermal gloves that fit inside my normal gloves - excellent
as for wearing tights, when I first joined the navy the instructors used to go on about wearing tights under No1 uniform for November ceremonies and I scoffed but after 2 years freezing my proverbial off I succumbed and found heavy duty tights work!! they trap a thin layer of air in the weave and it warms up like a wet suit! as for looking daft as they drill instructor's said rather look daft for a minute that freeze!!

You can't beat muffs. Had the same pair of cheapo muffs for about 13 years and fit them every winter.

I just wear summer gloves on my commute, and my hands are toasty. I don't even have to use my heated grips as they get too hot with muffs!

As for tights and stockings??????

Hold ups are better as there's no straps to chafe round your backside or get in the way of your thong.

Re: winter gloves - fireblake - 14-10-15

I've got some Oxford Muffs but they don't fit very and I can't steer the bike. I'll have to stick to freezing

Re: winter gloves - stevierst - 14-10-15

With fitting muffs, sometimes you've got to get a bit creative to get them to work.
