Winter Motorcycle Gloves

In the winter, there's nothing worse than riding with cold hands and fingers. It's debilitating, and stops you from concentrating, and so can be very dangerous. In the winter, you will need a pair of padded gloves with a filling like Primaloft, Thinsulate or Outlast. Because of their increased thickness, winter gloves may give you a slightly diminished feel on the bars, but this is simply the trade-off for warmth. X-Trafit gloves, with a bonded waterproof liner on the fingers, are not great when it's very cold, because there is no padding directly beneath the fingertips. The other consideration in the winter is the wet, and if it's raining you may be better off with a textile glove, rather than a leather one, as leather simply absorbs the moisture. As with skiing, a mitten style glove can be more effective than a traditional glove when it comes to keeping your hands warm, and several brands make motorcycling mittens.

Rukka Thermo-G GTX glove in black

Shoulder_Season: Ideal for autumn, mild winter and spring

These gloves are cleverly designed they are short enough to be a doddle to put on under cuffs yet long enough to seal out drafts. Gore Grip gives good dexterity and waterproofing, and the all-important visor wipe works well. These gloves are not for Arctic conditionsmy fingers freeze below 5 Cbut are ideal for autumn, mild winter, and cool spring days. Why did I not buy them earlier? The lack of protection for the pinkie and the base of the thumb put me off. CE Level 2 protection would have reassured me, but these gloves are only Level 1 KP. Considering Five and Keis offer CE Level 2 winter gloves, Rukka is behind the Level 2 times. The pinkie finger only has one layer of leather on the edge of the hand, but it needs a double layer to guard against low sides. The gloves have a suitable-sized scaphoid protector. However, they lack a vital extra layer of leather over the stitching at the base of the thumb. Held Cold Champ gloves show how this protection should be done. Curiously, the scaphoid protector is rubber it may absorb some impact but not slide effectively. Protection niggles aside, the ThermoG+ gloves are great.

Richa Nordic GTX gloves in black

Tony: Warm and waterproof

Bought these gloves for a ride across Spain in winter. Very pleased with their warmth and waterproof performance. They are bulky but this is what provides the warmth.

Held Cold Champ glove in black

Winter_rider: Winter perfection and protection

I bought these Cold Champs years ago, so this is a long-term review. TLDR Held Cold Champs are the best winter gloves of the many I have tried. Mine have coped with biblical rain and never leaked. The visor wiper works brilliantly. Insulation worked down to zero degrees but needed heated grips when near-freezing. Gore Grip meant the lining remained firmly in place even with damp hands. They initially needed breaking in. But the clever design makes them feel more like a thick sports glove than a winter mitt. They are very comfy now broken in. Protection differentiates the Cold Champ. SuperFabric covers the entire palm, whereas other gloves generally have limited coverage. The pinkie finger has a double leather layer to protect against low sides. Many other gloves miss this vital pinkie protection. Knuckle armour is sturdy yet comfy. They lack CE level 2 certification but are reassuring nonetheless. The gloves are not cheap but last forever.
