Hello,

I am looking to buy good and warm gloves for winters but I really can't make a decision on a pair.
I want them to be both warm and waterproof, and ideally not too bulky with tech touch.
I dont say money isnt a problem, ofcourse it would be good if i get them at a cheap price.

What do you prefer and why? I'm about to buy from the ski bum Coupons, but before buying them i thought to ask you guys if anyone previously used their gloves?

I always struggle with cold hands in winter, particularly on a long haul where there is a very real risk of poor bike control or slower reactions. Even with heated grips, the ends of my fingers get pretty painful. On my last bike, I switched to heated gloves and have used them for the last 3 years. A complete revelation and warm hands keep the whole body warm too.

With winter approaching in NZ, I've just set up the Duke for longer rides on frosty mornings. All that was required was to run the fused connector from the battery to a convenient point to connect to my jacket. The first pic shows the connector. I tuck it behind the plastic shield when not in use. The lead attaches to the connector on my jacket which runs to a small variable temperature controller hooked onto the jacket. From there, leads run internally between my jacket liner and the shell down the sleeves to the gloves. The gloves are the softest leather I've ever come across - I hate wearing bulky winter gloves. My setup is Gerbing but there are plenty of other manufacturers. I've no experience with gloves that have self-contained lithium batteries but they seem just fine in terms of sufficient capacity for commuting.

When the weather isn't quite so cold (around 10 degrees C). I use Dainese Tempest short cuff gloves which perform really well.

I've heard only great things about Barra gloves.
From fit to price which in that listing is cheap than on Amazon last I checked.
Cuffs can be tight as others claim.

I use a pair of bike riding hand gloves with black color.

I run gerbings, nothing beats a nice heated glove.

Thought I'd revive this one as I am looking for some feedback.

I am looking for some long cuff Winter Gloves. Winter is NOT my favorite season, and tbh I will not usually ride in the wet. But on longer trips (like to the UK) this is sometimes unavoidable. I will always do distance with Barkbuster BBZ "muffs" fitted - But 5 hours at 140kph in the rain - dampens and chills even so. I will NOT be riding in SNOW or extreme cold. I do not do ice any more.

Over the years (like most of us) I have tried/owned many sets of gloves. I do not like heated grips/gloves, tried them.

These days I find that one marque's offerings fit, well, like gloves. That marque is Halvarssons. I was about to splash out on a pair of their "Splitz" gloves but as Halvarssons are currently not represented in Spain I decided to have a look and see what else I could see.

And I stumbled across an interesting glove from Rukka. Rukka have been the dogs wotsits as long as I can remember. It has a double cuff - Here it is called the FROSTO - in the UK seems to be called the Feinnes. Also seems to be much cheaper here than the UK. And a current price cut from Motocard means they are the same price as the Halvarssons coming from UK.

My question is simple - Has anybody any feedback on the fit of Rukka Gloves, please?. Esp if you have also ridden with Halvarssons.

I do have some winter gloves - but they are the under-sleeve type and I want some over-sleeve "Gauntlet" protection. There are pros and cons to both. And also the ones I have are BULKY.
The Rukka gives a 2 for 1 solution. But I have no way to try before I buy.

Yours hopefully.

The bike w/ barkbusters and heated grips, I use a pair of Klim Powerxross snowmobile gloves through winter.
W/ the Duke I might just spring for a pair hotwired gloves to pair w/ my jacket liner.

Reviving again...

What did/do you all have at this point? I picked up a pair of the Cortech Scarab 2.0s from revzilla on a sale. They got great reviews. Been using them almost every morning for my ride in to work, about 40-50 deg F. They have been really good. A bit stiff at first, but after use they have broken in nicely. After about 25mi doing 60-85mph, hands are a bit chilly, but not unbearably cold.
