Decent Cold weather Gloves - 2/25/2005 6:50:01 PM

Even though I'm in AZ, it does actually get a little chilly in the winter so I'm looking for some decent gloves that will keep my hands farily warm but don't make me look like an extra from the Road Warrior. I don't want anything that's too flashy with tons of color, carbon fiber or chrome. I was kinda looking at the Joe Rocket Nitrogens or Reactors or the Alpinestars SP-3. Does anyone have these or any other recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Tourmaster Winter Elite -- around $80 at Chaparral. Above 30F just wear normally -- under 30F unzip the back and put on the extra outside layer -- makes it like a 3 fingered mitten. I highly recommend.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to see if we carry them or if we can order them.

I've been looking at the Icon Patrol winter glove. It looks like a good cold weather glove. We only have a few cold days here in FL, but I could use something with alittle more insulation then my phoenix 2.0 gloves with no insulation. I have also heard of people putting latex gloves under their regular gloves to keep the wind out.

On cool days i use silk liners under my normal everyday riding gloves. If im riding in colder or wet weather, I have a pair of tourmaster cold weather gloves, they work great.

I picked up a pair of Teknic Chicane's (the non-studded version) a few weeks ago. It's an all leather, gauntlet-style... I'm not sure if it's considered a "winter" glove or not, but they are exceptionally comfortable and YES very warm (my hands were sweating after only wearing them for a few minutes to break them in one night).

The ones I have ARE flashy (see my avatar) but I know they come in a variety of colors. The leather is very soft and pliable (much like a good quality REGULAR glove).
