Spada Force 2 WP winter gloves - SV650.org

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.

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!
