Cold weather gloves?

I'd still suggest TourMaster Cold Front Carbon gloves @ $60sometin. And, glove liners, Thinsulate glove liners. Sooo, nice. I was all warm and toasty this morn.
Also, do a search on 'gloves' or 'cold'.

I just got mine yesterday.  After riding with Gericke vented gloves for a couple of seasons, these Cold Fronts feel like ski gloves... with armor.  It took a few blocks to get used to them.  

The leather on the back of the hand is held on with single-stitched thread; and the leather seems very soft, almost like fabric.  I'm suspicous that they aren't as puncture and tear-proof as my summer gloves.  On the other hand, they are my only armored pair of gloves, so for some types of protection, I'm sure that they're far better.

These are my only waterproof gloves.  I thought that since I was not getting the "polar" variety, that these would become my 3-season gloves, and would get me from September rains through the April rains.  I'm thinking that they will be too warm come April.

Overall, they are quite comfortable, and getting armor on a waterproof winter glove is a huge plus; but I might prefer thicker leather and double-stitching (if such a thing exists).

In case anyone's confused, a balaclava is sort of like a ski mask. Baclava(without the "la") is a food.

And those neck tubes that they gave away with Bike magazine are nice(picked one up while i was in England this summer).

You also might want to try simple gloveliners. You can get them through catalogs like L.L. Bean, i think. Thin silk or whatever the fabric is--they're pretty warm and extremely thin. They'd fit under a pair of gloves just fine i'd think.

I have these Olympia gloves.  Not too thick but very warm.  Thirty and above you don't have to wiggle your fingers to keep warm.  When you hit the 20's you have to move your fingers to keep warm.  Have them for over 2 years and they are holding up very well.

I also got these pants.  One of the best investments I ever made.
Just get it from one of their US distributors.

Ok, the ones I picked up from Parker Brothers today are the JR Rush gloves - and they are AWESOME.  My paws are kept warm and they're oh-so-cozy inside.

Highly recommended!

I don't know if you'd get the same price as me cause I know Sasha at PB, but they retail for $79, which is still well worth it.  These gloves surprised the crap outta me tonight - they are so comfortable!

I'm only riding in this cooler weather because I love my GS so much...she'll be put away when it gets a little colder (cause I'm not that hardcore). :lol:
