Recommend me some winter gloves...
 
Well, the last few rides have left my fingers like blocks of ice...I have Triumph Hard Carbon's at the mo...which are great (for summer).

Looking on here the Spada WP's seem to get a good review - just wondering if anyone can suggest anything to compare it to?

Need something for winter only - decent protection, and fifty quid max...

thanks!

Billy.

+1 for Jet Roads. Best gloves I've ever had for winter. Twice your budget though, so maybe only buy 1?

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll look into the Jet Roads.

I didnt think that heated grips would do much - maybe I'm wrong, never used them, but its the windblast from riding along that freezes my fingers...my palms and rest of my hands are ok...

Besides a decent set of grips are about 40 quid...enough for a set of gloves me thinks..

I bought some richa baltic. They are Ok but not the warmest on really cold days. This suits me as i use the car in the cold. Yes i know!!

They were £50.

MAN you are SOOOOOOO wrong, heated grips are the best thing you can invest in (other than heated gloves... Gerbing do good ones of these) Its like holding onto the radiator when you get home with numb hands, it keeps them moving and helps stop the pain getting too much, as you dont have to warm them back up.

heated are the way to go!

How do Alpinestars jet road gloves fair in the heavy rain? Do they leak at all? I've had too much experience with '100% waterproof' gloves that leak when it's wet. Ta.
