Spada Force 2 WP winter gloves
These are ace I've been riding in them for about a month, and I'm well pleased.Noticably warmer than Pathans, despite being an armoured 4-finger design. Comfy too with a good cuff. They're a bit bulkier than the Pathands but as the fingers are curved it's not a problem really. And cheap too, Biking direct ebays them for under £40 delivered. They were Ride Recommended in the last winter test and the warmest in the whole test
The cuff's not perfect- it's not as long as I'd like, and a little bulky, so with my heavy jacket they're not fully happy in or out. But in my lighter winter jacket they work well, so I can't complain. My Richa gloves have a far superior cuff. On the other hand, they had rubbish stitching and aren't as warm. I highly recommend these... But be careful of the sizes. The medium is a little short in the finger, making them overall tight and restrictive for me. I have fairly long fingers so they may well fit you fine, but be aware they're not generously sized. I'm actually impressed enough with them that I'm going to buy a large set and see if they fit me better- they're better than £80 gloves so I don't begrudge it. Two thumbs up.

Copied from another thread, didnt see this one at first,
These were recommended by a hardy all weather biker (Northwind) and I've been using them for about 3 weeks now. Leather, goretex, waterproof, good armour, warm, not too bulky. £40apx, Very happy with these so far, worn in sun, wind, rain and snow with no problems. One day 0 - -2Deg fingertips started to get a little cold after about 50-60 miles of 70mph riding but a much better performance than i expected. I'll update this in a couple of months or if i have any problems with them. |

Mmmh, I'm looking at getting some new gloves, as mine have given up. Plus on top of that they let water in the cuff and its going up my jacket lining like a wick.

Re: Spada Force 2 WP winter gloves
They are great. Stay pretty dry. Got mine off e-bay for not too much! They are a little short in the fingers, it's true. My mediums did stretch though thankfully as they were a tad uncomfortable to begin with! I don't have the biggest hands either!
