Chilly Fingers

aspe16 · 02-18-2008, 11:45 AM

Morning Guys
Came to work this morning on the bike & my fingers have just about defrosted.

Any suggestions on glove types / makes etc that could keep my hands warmer.

LOL badshads

Well here's my attempt, gloves for winter.
Make sure you have room in them, if they are toooo snug no space for inner gloves or air (insulation), meraklon stuff is very good.
As for heated grips they are very good but quite a few dispatch riders I know say heated inner gloves are better with the heat element on the outside of your hand which gets the brunt of the chill ( no knocking the grips ).

Muffs are probably the best bet but look as good as an CZ in a Ducati showroom.

I bloke i know uses 5 litre oil containers cut in half and cable tied to his bars, his winter bike is a state

Probably the best idea mate, I rode all weather for bloody years then found some usefulness in the demon box on wheels
