I have a decent pair of wind-proof, water-proof, warm gloves from Joe Rocket for cold weather riding, but they only work down into the 40′s. In May 2008, on my way to Prescott, AZ, for a Triumph gathering, it was well down around freezing, perhaps a bit colder. Ten degrees makes a HUGE difference at 75mph.

I have a Gerbing heater jacket liner but I cheaped out and didn’t get the matching heated gloves. By the time I arrived in Butte my hands were freezing. I found some glove liners at a sporting goods store and I was able to continue on. In the future I can either pony up the dough for the Gerbing gloves or search through the snowmobile shops. I’d like to try these gloves, but they don’t seem to go big enough (3XL).

The quest for warm hands in a cold demanding environment is a long and frustrating one. The general rule is it takes carrying three pairs of gloves to have one dry pair on your hands. I have not found that to be true with Glacier Gloves, which is hands down the best glove I have ever used. The 824BK is 2mm neoprene lined with a thin fleece nap on the inside; the two layers feel fused together somehow (not sewn or glued), which gives them a comfortable fit, allows easy on and off, and provides excellent dexterity.
