WTF weather! I need new gloves

[Hauptman]

So I need some warmer gloves to combat this lame weather. Anyone have any suggestions? I like my Alpinestar S-MX plus gloves but the whole mesh thing doesn't go real far early in the morning or at night. I was thinking a leather gauntlet style.

Lame weather? Man, what do you call it in a few months?

get in line. i've been waiting for someone to sell non-pref gauntlet gloves for akira's next cold ride

[Hauptman]

i only mean lame weather in the fact that it is August. It shouldn't be dipping into the 40's

[berube600f]

very true this weather is a ball breaker

Alpinestars Storm Rider Gore-Tex Gloves - KneeDraggers.com

Yeah that day we rode WAS cold. I think it was like 35F.
First time I met you and CEO and Ned ! We were doing the hand
in the engine compartment trick.

Hauptman, guess its different here in Boston. Its been like
55 in the am. Nothing too bad.

I have a pair of Scott Vikings. They are snowmobile gloves I think.... they're awesome.

I have a pair of AXO Saturn gloves that I had thought would be great for cooler weather, and I pulled them out tonight after the sun went down. They seem pretty toasty, although they feel a little bulky (which I suppose is an inherent issue with insulated gloves). They also run small; my Teknic gloves and Fieldsheer gloves, both smalls, fit fine; my Joe Rocket gloves, which are a small, are snug, and my Axo gloves are a medium...and they're still quite snug (I wish I had picked up the large).

I'm looking at a pair of the Cortech Scarab Winter gloves. I tried a pair on at Cycle Design and they felt really nice. You can find them online for about $10 off retail, or about $76.

snowmobile gloves SUCK for riding a bike, they are designed for thumb throttle, hands tend to cramp cause insulation on the palms is too thick


best bet

heated grips

[KillBill]

You guys seriously think it's been cold in the mornings/evenings??

Cool, the Price is right!
Mike, How do you slide your grips over the adhesive of the
heaters? I have a hard enough time sliding the grips over
just the barrel plain.

You use the reiostat or just the 3 way switch?
I'm skeptical but interested. Just dont like having more stuff
running off the electrical harness. Just more to go wrong and
troubleshoot when something fails.

[Tricky Mike]

I just use the 3-way.
It's been fine. High is hot as hell, so I tend to use high to get the temp up and then leave it on low.
I just used compressed air to slide the grips on. The heating element is paper thin, so it really doesn't cause any trouble.

+1 for the compressed air.

[akira700]

+1 for the compressed air.

So what kind of adapter do you use for this?
One of those ones that looks like little toy gun ?

[Tricky Mike]

Sorry. Pic is huge.

[spicy]

[Sheppo]

Sorry. Pic is huge.
