Under 50 degrees, I tried liners!! ehh !! they prolong the time until the cold seeps through my A* SP-2's https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-sp-2-gloves?kclid=0273fc2e-1d93-4207-9b85-f66f67c57d08&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkOu6l-rm3gIVDoRpCh3_Xgn4EAAYASAAEgKXh_D_BwE I'm well aware that their not meant for sub-50's riding totally naked!!! I also put nitrile gloves, inside the liners, inside the leather gloves, not much of a difference. 19 minutes ago, Bigturbomax said: I know good gloves dont come cheap so i dont wanna buy four different pairs. Looking for recomendations. What works well for yall? So I guess my question would be the same, and same reasoning also. Iv'e read I don't know how many reviews on heated, waterproof, etc. and I just really don't know where to start.

mossrider Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) If you already have heated grips these would be awesome and affordable, https://shop.olympiagloves.com/collections/winter-motorcycle-gloves/products/8800-traveler These are my cold weather go to's for the past 10 years. Great on the snowmobile or bike from -20 with heated grips to about 40 deg F w/o. Dry fast, wear great, 400 grams thinsulate, full gauntlet, no armor tho. They have other models as well if these aren't your dish. Olympia are great gloves on the street, I have several pairs for different temps including waterproof ones. (My track gloves are Dainese or A*) Edited November 22, 2018 by mossrider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faffi Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I start to struggle with chilli fingers and feet already at 60F, and that's with winter gloves. From 50F and down, I wear mittens, and even that is too little for rides going over several hours. So I will have a look at snowmobile gloves/mittens, since they are made for arctic conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjg Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I commute year round in Phoenix. Winter early morning temps can drop into the 30's here but typically are in the 50's. I wear these whenever the temp is below 58 deg or so: https://discountworkgear.com/product/lined-suede-deerskin-gloves/ I bought them on sale for 8 bucks but I see now they are back up to regular price. These are not motorcycle gloves and don't have knuckle plates or anything . I tried the thicker pigskin version of these with the same lining but found these deer suede ones to be much warmer. Not sure why that is - you would think the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyow5 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I finally found some good ones: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/gerbing-12v-hero-gloves Heated grips seems wastefully inefficient to me since you are applying heat to the outside of an insulated glove and on the leeward side. These Gerbing gloves are less bulky than my last winter gloves and insulate far better, even without power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturbomax Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Thanks for all the advice folks. Ill let you know what i end up getting and how i like em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) I had a pair of BMW ProWinter's that were very warm, but the cuffs were funky and impossible to use. I replaced those with a pair of Joe Rocket Windchill gloves. So far they have proven 100% waterproof. Winter hasn't set in yet, but I've ridden them in the mid 30's with heated grips and no hand guards. No complaints so far. I was disappointed in how thin they were when they showed up, but they've proven to be warm so far. They have heavy precurve which makes them extremely comfy as you don't notice them as being bulky. They are more protective then your normal winter glove and they use a drawstring cuff which I've grown to prefer over the years. And they have a visor wiper! Which is starting to get rare. I swear every glove should have a wiper. @cyow5 has a good point about heated grips and gloves. Many brands build a winter glove with a thinner palm to let the heat from the grips reach you. Keep an eye out for that. Edited November 27, 2018 by shinyribs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 On the cheap: (with crash protection) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4FIWT9/ref=psdc_404826011_t1_B077M7H2MN For anyone looking for a winter glove that's light, less bulky and warm in milder temperatures (but no crash protection) these are a nice glove. I have a pair and wind does not get through the outer shell. I have a non insulated pair and they keep my hands warm when it's in the 60's. (Florida winter) I'm sure the insulated ones will work well down into the 40's or maybe less. https://www.amazon.com/Winter-Windproof-Gloves-Screen-Cycling/dp/B07H7JG3JJ/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_img_6?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=3CZGVSR4XD85KNPQP0TM Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful they will have crash protection like good winter motorcycle gloves but to each his own I say. I would use a good, warm pair w/o crash protection. 1 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't found anything yet then these are really good with heated grips. Only heats up the top of the gloves and finger the heated grips can take care of the palm as they have very little insulation there. 40 degrees is ideal for these. My hands doesn't start feeling chilli til about 30 ish. Fly Racing Street 7V Ignitor Pro Heated Gloves WWW.REVZILLA.COM Designed to keep you protected from the elements, the Fly Ignitor Pro Gloves... Also the gerbing 12v hero's will keep you warm down To like 15 degrees. I'm still searching for a non heated gloves that will keep my fingers warm to 40 degrees, 45 even. I usually want protection in my gloves but I might give those Olympia glove a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturbomax Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 I feel like a real jerk for forgetting to respond to this thread since you guys were all so helpful. I ended up purchasing cortech scarab 2.0 gloves. They got me through winter and ive used em a little in rainy spring time too excellent value just under a 100 bucks. Good protection and warn. Got em from the boys at revzilla. Ill write a review eventually lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
