    Default winter riding gloves

    Any recommendations for winter riding gloves? I live where it gets between 20 to -20 for a few months out of the year. Really just want to commute back and forth to work-----5min......but not lose my fingers......Hahaha!! Thanks

    Default Hmmmm..

    That's a tough one. I think the answer would heated grips and a two part glove system. I ice fish, and I swear by my Outdoor Reseach Mitts..BUT, they may make operating the Spyder more difficult and less safe..
    Hope someone else has some advice.

    I got a set of the Gerbing heated gloves Saturday and they are so big and cumbersome I was not a fan. I took them back today and they have a lightweight pair that are cheaper and should work great for you. Otherwise glove liners and your favorite gloves should work for a short trip.

    Default Tough one..!!

    whatever is the glove of choice for your outdoor working, skiing buddies. Heated gloves or liners will do best. Have not found the heated grips to do much on an open bar. Guess they work nicely with a faring....

    Warm and Safe or First Gear Heated gloves. They work great. Get the heated jacket liner to go with them and the wireless dual controller and you will be happy all thru the winter.

    Default Make this great invention !!!!!!

    These will also work for the driver as they slip right over the handlebars on the RS, even with a clutch.

    Default Mobile Warming heated gloves

    The wife and I use rechargeable Mobile Warming Textile Heated gloves. On the low setting they say they will last up to 10 hours. On they high setting they get as warm as 135 degrees. Her is the link for them on Ebay.

    Default I have a pair of these

    although they have sure gone up in price, I paid about $40 less for mine and worth every penny. IMHO

    Cold here in Minnesota too! Gloves are key, but we also have something that may just give you that extra layer of protection. They are called Dessert digits.

    Work great for blocking the cold and keeping those fingers from falling off! Let me know if you have any questions.

    I have snowmobile gloves from Costco that I absolutely love. They are super warm and 100% waterproof with long gauntlets. Best thing is they cost less than $20.
