BMG winter riding gloves - longevity review
I bought a pair of British Motorcycle Gear thermosport gloves.

Let me say, these things are the shit. Waterproof, leather, padded + most importantly, warm. I bought these back at IMS seattle. They are well worth their price.

Pro - warm, padded, waterproof. Everything you need for washington weather.

Con - They still don't prevent your hands from getting cold. The thinsulate insulation is nice, but it you don't move your hands around or have heated grips the lack of blood flow will make your hands cold.


If you aren't a puss + you ride year round, get a pair.

What's the time crunch for cold hands? I have a set of tourmaster synergy heated gloves, and they last about 30 minutes in 38 degrees or below before it's time to call it quits (while UNHEATED).

Yanno, I'm not exactly sure about that. It really depends on how tight your grip is too. I'm pretty bad about that. I could ride from north everett to seattle in freezing weather + have them get cold if I had a death grip on the bars, but if I didn't then they would still be bearable. So maybe 30-40 mins without them getting completely frozen.

hmmmm....

these look nice
and not super expensive.

I'm looking for some new waterproof cold weather gloves (since the girlfriend's dog decided she liked how "Chewey" the knuckle armor was in my current gloves)


is there anyone in the area that has these in stock (I hate ordering things like gloves over the internet) I at least wanna try them on.

Not that I know of. I tried them on at IMS last year.
