Reply #30 - 01/11/13 at 12:12:32 Mate of mine just wears a flimsy pair of gloves and then at the stop lights he puts his hands down on the engine to warm them up. Last time I had a beer with him he mentioned that he had melted his gloves. proper old school

I'm looking for something a little more reliable. Not many lights where I ride, anyway. Scooter Mitts seem promising.

Reply #33 - 03/15/13 at 20:23:12 I don't think I had to do anything for the Scooter Mitts to work on the Savage. I had to modify them a bit to fit my 950 though. They're shorter than what Digger has, making it easier to get your hands in & out.

Got the mitts and, like you, didn't find they needed any modifying. But, I'm also finding I don't really need them. Slathered my winter gloves in mink oil and heated them up with a hair dryer to get it to soak in, and they're good as long as the temp is 40 or above. Below that, I wear a glove liner, too. I don't think I'd need the mitts unless I was riding for longer than a couple of hours without stopping. Winter riding is getting to be kind of, well, cool!

I was just out at walmart and checked their glove section and found a pair of wells-lamont cowhide gloves with 100 gram thinsulate marked $5. When I checked out they rang up $3. I tried them out on the way home (it's around 45 right now) and they worked great. My other leather gloves have much less insulation and I'd have swore I had frostbite the other morning (was 27 out). I have a pair of ski gloves that are 100 gram thinsulate that I wore that next morning and they kept my fingers warm, but I feel much better having leather/cowhide gloves on just in case I have to go body surfing on the pavement.
