I can't seem to find a thread regarding winter gear and gloves. It's dropped to low 40s here in Dallas which isn't too bad. But I ride to school at 5:30AM so the wind cuts it down a couple more degrees. I'm gonna stick with my leather jacket and wear a Fruit of the Loom hoodie underneath. But my hands are frozen and my summer gloves aren't getting it. I normally wear jeans and long socks which I think will suffice.

What do you wear? What gloves do you like?

If youre tight on $$, try leather gloves ( Vegetable Tanned, not chemical. The cheapo gloves are loaded w/ heavy metals) with a brown cotton glove for a liner. Or, snowmobile gloves, available at a "Mart" store near you, cheap.

Thinsulate gloves River Road brand until the temp gets below 30F. Then ski mittens, with liners underneath if needed.  I'm good to 17F.

I just bit it, went to the local MC shop down the street and 40 bucks later, I was in business. They are very warm, but yet I still have the feel of everything. I don't know the brand, or the material,....(look leather) I leave that up to the experts there to be good quality.

I've got a medium weight pair of thinsulate lined nylon gauntlets for winter/wet riding, with wipers on the thumbs (handy!).  No-name brand from a warehouse sale at the local dealer.  Ok quality, but for $20 I like 'em enough I got another pair this year.

Yeah, some leather has heavy metals in it.  It's literally called "chrome-tanned" leather.

I have thinsulate gloves--not leather--sometimes the fingertips start to go numb when the temp is low 40's. I'm thinking of trying some good leather gloves or snowmobile gloves. Our local bike shop went out of business so I'm off to the Harley dealer or off to Milwaukee up the road.

i 2nd the "florida gets too cold" post!

it's around 60's down here(west palm beach) and it's FREEEZING to us!

we're going riding in the morning(low 40's) so i went to wally world(walmart) the only thing open @ 12:30am and bought a pair of WELLS LAMONT HIGH DEXTERITY gloves.

they aren't leather, but reminds me of a thick bodysuit kind of thing. i'll let u know if they suck or not lol

I stick with a pair of insulated leather gauntlet gloves and sometimes wear a thin pair of snowmobile windproof gloves underneath. I did that when it got down to seven a few weeks ago and managed to keep all my fingers.
