myzeneye Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Man it's cold up in them hills..... My regular riding gloves are nice and thin for a good feel on clutch break and throttle, but...... They're c c c cold!!! Can anyone recommend something a little thicker or better suited to this weather...... But not to thick so's I can't feel things? My right hands got a few hinges instead of knuckles after a decent road bike crash so I feel the cold like bloody tooth ache in me bones.....

finn Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I brought some neoprene gloves from RawSport via eBay and they are great, not too thick but stay warm when wet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have fitted heated grips to our Ossa's.... very very effective, no more cold hands! See trialsandendurodirect.com, £34.00. Bought 3 sets of these from ebay though.....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390526773152?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 better in my opinion as they are just full on or off.... and just £5.80 a set! Work a treat on our three road bikes. Edited February 5, 2013 by kt-milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I have had a few pair of these http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202273321/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=insulated+gloves&storeId=10051#.URG20_LImV4 has some insulation and thin enough to grip bars easily. I have used them for all types of things, riding, auto repair, tractor repair, splitting and stacking firewood, etc.... and they last pretty decent.

0007 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Try Klim stuff (pronounced climb) http://www.klim.com/en-us/ Everything they make is good, I would have their gloves but my hands are wide across the Knucks and they don't fit me right but I have a complete set of Klim snowmobile gear from the socks and boots up and all of it is outstanding I have a couple sets of neoprene like Mr Finn mentioned but I find them kind of damp feeling Lots of people like them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longlegscanbeuseful Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I use some woolen inner gloves, I think I got them from Hein Gericke years ago. The beauty is you take them off once you start warming up, usually after the slow first lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewdavies07 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Fox anti freeze gloves, these are mtb designed gloves but are amazing for out on the trials bike! http://www.hargrovescycles.co.uk/products.asp?partno=38500#.URJKhqU02_Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzeneye Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I like the sound of the heated bar element hobbies, but doesn't the cable interfere with the throttle twist ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have had grip heaters on several street bikes, I wrapped the wires around a pencil to make a coil wire out of it, it will accordion with the throttle twist Unfortunately aluminum bars really suck the heat up, some brands have a thin layer of plastic on the glue side to direct the heat to the grip rather than synching it into the bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monteberg Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have had grip heaters on several street bikes, I wrapped the wires around a pencil to make a coil wire out of it, it will accordion with the throttle twist Unfortunately aluminum bars really suck the heat up, some brands have a thin layer of plastic on the glue side to direct the heat to the grip rather than synching it into the bar Yes ali bars suck up loads of heat from grip warmers, but a good tip is to fill the air space in the hollow bars ,expandining aerosol foam works great and you use without removing grips by jabbing the applicator nozzle /hose through the end of the grip we do it to snowmobile bars and it makes a big differance ps just have cleaning up stuff at hand it can be a messy job ,,,,gets better with practice good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
