Default Cold Weather Gloves

I have spent a ton of money on every kind of leather, nylon, gore-tex and thinsulate glove on the market. I need someone to help me with a comfortable, proven, rider friendly pair of gloves. I only have problems with my finger tips, the rest of my body stays warm. But once the finger tips go numb in 15-40 degree weather the ride is horrible! Some of you HD bike/snowmobile riders up north must have some good suggestions?

Thanks a bunch,

For really cold weather I use the HD Cold Weather Gauntlet Gloves 98157-05VX

If it is really, really cold I wear a pair of latex gloves under them.

Some wusses I ride with use heated gear and I understand they work well too.


The key to staying warm is in the extremities. Head, hands, feet. Keep them snug and the rest of you will be warm as well.

I wear the HD Windhshield gloves down to the the mid 30's and they work great.
Below this I switch the the heated gloves. The HD Windshield gloves are bulky
but nice and warm.

If you are riding in weather that cold, I would recomend the HD heated gloves. Worth the bucks to keep your body warm. If the hands and feet are warm usually you will be comfortable.

Danner Gor-Tex, insulated boots and wicking socks for the feet.

Yep, can't beat the heated jacket and gloves in the cold weather.

As an aside, if you have tried the things you say you already have, then you may have a circulation problem. But, try a ski shop for some racer's gloves that have a big gauntlet and are flexible... some incredible gloves there and very reasonable priced.

Agree with the HD gauntlet gloves. They are the best I've ever found.
