Summer or winter gloves? - SV650.org

14-03-09, 01:01 PM

Hi, I'm currently looking to buy a new pair of gloves, I'm going to be driving through the Alps in a couple of weeks, but I have heated grips, so do you think that it's better to buy winter gloves, or go for a summer pair and rely on the heated grips to keep my hands warm?

Any advice/previous experiences would be much appreciated

thanks

I preferred summer gloves and used a combo of Symtec grip heaters (elements that go under the OEM grips) and DL-650 handguards to keep me warm.

Winter gloves are like something you'd wear in outer space and lose all feeling (IMO).
