The constant flexing that you gove a glove just from gripping the bars means that this membrane breaks down over time, so they aren't waterproof forever. Then there is the issue of wind chill against the glove that transmits to the hand.
For that reason I've stayed away from mega-expensive gloves, I always found ski gloves good value and very warm.
If you have a real problem go heated, at the very least look for some of those Vulcan gloves, the ones with only 3 fingers so you have some fingers together, they keep each other warm them.
Best alternative, a fairing. |
Ah yes, I forgot about those that group several fingers together, I've heard they're good. It's hard to believe nowadays that they can't produce a membrane that can take the strain eh. A mate of my Dad's once leant me a pair of his overmitts as I was going on a long journey. They were a huge gauntlet thing and the top was a very thick plastic material. They certainly did the job so far as the weather was concerned, but you could hardly move your hands and you looked a right twat wearing them too! LOL. So I chose to get wet instead.
