Alpinestars Yukon
Only had them a month but they are 100% waterproof, comfortable and dry quickly on the outside after drenching.
Armour is good and feel is not bad for a winter glove. Ok down to 6C or so without having to ignite the grips. Will update with a vengeance if any negatives! At £70 I expect them to last well.

Re: Alpinestars Yukon
Waterproof, no doubt.
Still look like new (only comfier). Not so good at cold, 0C hands cold after 15 mins. Additional heating required. Would I buy them again? Yes with heated grips. No if I'm riding year round without some form of additional warmth. Then again, I don't think I'd be doing that again anyway! Pretty faultless in all other regards,

Re: Alpinestars Yukon
Yeah, I get Reynauds badly in my thumbs so I want a pair of super warm gloves but on a budget. My far too warm for summer gloves were good for 15 mins at 3C last weekend.
Thanks for the tip on those. Any suggestions? |

Re: Alpinestars Yukon
Agree.
Heated gloves only way to ensure toasty mitts. I'm only rolling for 30-40 minutes at a time so heated grips just enough. If it were longer I'd definitely go with heated gloves as it then makes the hassle of the wires worthwhile.
