Borg, I have a pair of summer-weight deerskin gloves from Rider Wearhouse that I'm very fond of, but on my cold, morning commute I felt a need for something warmer. I'm thinking strongly about a pair of insulated guantlet deerskin gloves from the the same place. Anybody have experience with them? I'm pretty sure I want the guantlet to stop the wind up the sleeve, and I know my correct size on this brand of glove. Thanks in advance. Ralph Ralph E.

I have those very gloves. They are excellent, but look a bit out of place on sport bikes... but who cares? The fashion police haven't stopped me yet. They are good down to about 40 degrees, then your fingers start to freeze. I had mine on when I crashed in 97. They held up well and I still wear them today... this mornig as a matter of fact. Gino

I am looking for feedback from the group on different types of cold and wet weather gloves that are in use. I use a gel Olympia perforated glove for most riding, but am looking for something a little warmer and/or drier to use during the winter. In addition, most of my riding is commuting to work.

Hi David I use an Olympia "Gore Tex" snowmobile glove when the temp drops under 40F. I've used them down to 16F and they work quite well. Ed Windsor ohio

I use Fox Dirt Paws ($20)for general use, Fox Cool Paws ($32) for cold and Land's End Squall gloves ($25) for weather I really shouldn't be riding in. Lamar A14

For anybody that rides in rainy weather, what type of gloves have performed well for you? I currently use some nylon over mittens, but I don't like losing the feel for the controls. I would like to get a good pair of gloves that still offer some amount of protection. During the summer, I don't mind getting my hands wet, but when it cools off, it ain't so comforting having wet hands. Later David Wilhite dnmwilhite@... 01' KLR 650 84' Subaruvanagon

I wear "Chemical Handling" gloves over my standard gloves. They`re kinda` like dishwashing gloves but, a little different material (not so rubbery and a little thinner). Work well for me, they`re available at industrial supply places. MERK!.........Deeds Speak!! merk26@...

[...] Some years ago I used Spidi "Alumino" gloves. They were no more bulky than usual winter gloves but did take quite some use to bed in. Frank Thomas gloves from England would be worth a look, I've always liked their fit, and you would think that English glove makers would have a pretty good handle on wet weather wear.

I have had very good success with Aerostitch's Gore-Tex over-gauntlets. I routinely ride in Colorado's thunderstorms. -- Marc, KLR650 A12, Loveland, Colorado, USA ----Original Message-----

Me too :) I think they're called "nitril" or something like that. XXL and sort of green. I just couldn't force myself to wear those bright yellow dishwashing gloves ;) though, I must admit, my favorite form of rain protection is a cage. I must be getting old. David A4 Victoria BC Canada
