winter gloves

[fireblake]

It's not been that cold so far this winter but I put the Muffs on so I'm still using my A*star summer  gloves.  Although it has poured with rain my hands have stayed dry.
I've put some metal coat hanger inside the muffs to keep them away from the levers

I know that I'm lucky in that I don't need to ride - but muffs do look shit ! and MASSIVE, surly they don't need to go up to your elbows !
I dont like the idea/ feeling of my hands "trapped" inside.
I wonder if I could get some and cut them down to almost a hand guard plus size. So a cross between muffs and guards. I just want something to keep the wind blast of my winter riding fingers, I'm not even looking for compleate protection but just a little extra to enable me to ride a little longer before I feel the need to grab those lovely hot potatoes that Yamaha call cam cover tops

I have Halvarssons Primus leather mitten. It works fine with Halvarssons silk gloves liner. Can't compare with muffs for long rides, but for short rides 30-40 minutes they work fine.

ok went with spada enforcers.abit bulky but comfy

Was using the enforcers for years and totally disagree with their test results - the 3 or 4 pairs I had (velcro failed after each winter) but were warm and totally waterproof.


Fancied a change so opted for the Richa Cold Protect GTX - agree 100% with their review - best winter glove I've ever had.

The picture makes the muffs look bigger than they are but I agree with all you say. I only use them for commuting and will take them off if I ride out with mates.  I will persevere with them though
