Winter Gloves

[Mac]

I use the tour master winter elite

They have kept all but the tips of my fingers warm down to 21 deg f.

Mine look pretty similar to that.  The gauntlet is styled a little differently, but the padding and finger areas look the same.

Now, to be fair, I live in California. So what's warm and comfortable for me may not be appropriate for wherever you are.  But these have been good winter gloves for me for a year and a half now.

hahaha, I know, we complain when it gets below 40 degrees. I've still been using my summer gloves with heated grips, but looking to get a little more warmth without the bulk

Got some Alpinestars a size too large. So I can fit some thermal under gloves inside. Mebbe I'll get a set of heated grips for Xmas.

I'm still using an old pair of leather Tour Masters that I bought probably 20 plus years ago.  I try to remember to grease them up each year to keep them semi-water proof and when they eventually do end up wet I just turn them inside out and let them dry overnight.  When used in conjunction with my grip heaters I have no need for anything more hi-tech.

HippoHands or those ATV bar muffs greatly simplify the entire problem.  My bro's been trying to taunt me into heated grips, but I'm a bit put off by the on-bike and on-rider wiring (my and 'luctricity don't get along).  A friend has knuckle guards on his V-Strom, I ordered a pair from the Suzuki accessory catalog and with very slight modification they fit my Speed Triple.  Anything you can do to keep wind and rain off your hands makes a huge difference.

I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of that. That idea has crossed my mind a few times, I guess I'm just to lazy to do the research

By the way, I'm "dsb" over on BARF

Here's a clicky to "a" pic...not sure it's "the" pic...

I've done a lot of riding in the cold.  No glove, even $100 (sigh) ones, has ever really made it "good."  But other things have:

1) Heated grips.  You can get grip heaters for $40 or so anymore.  Makes life way, way better, and they're always there, even on cool spring evenings.  

2) ATV bar muffs.  These are the heavy artillery of winter riding.  They not only kept me from going numb at -7 F, they actually let my hands warm up once I got riding.  Amazing.  Ugly, but amazing.  



Also pretty cheap around $30, plus some fussing with installation.  

If you're gung-ho on gloves, I'd look at snowmobile gloves.  My wife has a pair I envy.  Super-thick insulation and waterproof, for less than similar moto-gloves.  

Ride warm!

Can someone post up a "clicky" to ATV bar muffs?  TIA.  

EDIT:  Nevermind.  I found them.  But, they're not available in USA...only Canada.

Update:  I bought the Women's Tour Master Polar Tex gloves.  So far thay've been OK.  First off, even the smalls are big on me.  I feel like I'm slipping around in them.  I've ridden in temps in the lower 40s.  My hands have been warm, with only my fingertips cold.  I anticipate that a pair of good glove liners will fix this problem easily, and I should be able to ride in much colder temps.

  I have been happy with the Orina 118 glove:

 But have added electric gloves for this winters riding.

I sometmes user the TourMaster Glove Liners, but below 45 degrees the TourMaster Winter Elite are my choice.  They are a full feature glove and not as bulky as they look.  The have a squigee on the thumb and a built-in raincover.  Not too pricey for $80.00
