For various reasons, I've decided I'm joining the ATGATT camp. I'm looking for an "all-around" glove, but have some questions. I'm going to be riding in NE/SD/IA/MN. The temps here vary quite a bit. I can see myself riding anywhere from 0F to 105F (most riding will be between 40F and 105F, though). I want something with a full gauntlet, offers good protection, and preferably something waterproof. After doing some reading, I'm stuck between two choices: 1) Get a waterproof "3-season" type glove (like Rev'it Summit H2O gloves). 2) Get a non-waterproof gauntlet type glove from a decent brand name and then pair it with some waterproof overgloves (like the aerostitch "lobster-claws"). I know that gloves are a very personal thing, that one glove probably isn't going to work for all seasons, and that good quality tends to cost a fair amount. My budget is $100-150. Any opinions? | ||

Held Caveat: I tried my cousin's Aerotich gloves recently and they are VERY similar to the Held. Soft, nimble and top quality. | ||

I like lighter feeling gloves, so I could never stand a "winter glove". I went with heated grips, and wear thinner leather gloves year round. When they get wet, I get wet, but the heated grips help keep it tolerable. | ||

Bill, I've been on a quest for gloves myself. I'd love to find a pair that are thinner on the palm but with good protection on top. Hard armor would be great, however, I want leather and want them waterproof. A shorter gauntlet type would be best. Brad | ||

BMW makes a glove called "all around" and they have a gortex liner so your hands stay dry. I bought a set for $54.00 two years ago and they are my foul weather glove. | ||

I ended up buying a pair of Helimot H-20's. They cost a bit more than I wanted to spend and they're probably overkill, but I like that they're made in the US, don't have the "boy-racer/transformers" look, and if I "break" them, they can be repaired. I'll buy a pair of Aerostich triple digit rain covers (the lobster claws) for rainy days. |
