Gloves
Hey All,
with the mornings getting cooler I am looking for some warmer gloves to keep my hands warm. Anyone know of a good place to get some gloves or which brand is better than others?
Thanks.

RE: Gloves
Well, leather with thinsulate is the way to go. IMO anyway.... Most any waterproof glove with sheep, or thinsulate work good also. Here's a couple of links you can check out...
I have tried the glove liners, maybe I got the wrong ones, bit they just did not keep my hands that warm. But, I get cold easy. lol.... I usually use a leather waterproof gauntlet with thinsulate. Might not be the sexiest looking glove, but darn it, it works!! lol...When you are looking at thinsulate, there are two different thinsulates. There is regular thinsulate, and thinsulate flex. The flex is thinner thinsulate, so it flexes easier, but does not keep you as warm.
Here's a link to some glove tests for winter..

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...106&Division=1 Nice winter glove here...When looking for a winter glove, this style is one of the best you can get. IMO anyway... Very similar to what I run in the winter, and couldn't be happier.

Thanks for the links How do the sizes run big or small. I have some alpinestar gloves now for summer riding and they fit good. I also like the knuckle protection. I was thinking of tryng out the http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...106&Division=1 gloves but have to find a dealer close to me to see how they fit. I don't like gloves that fit to loose. I can't feel the grip of the handle bars that well.

RE: Gloves
no, your not putting dirtbike knuckle gards on your street bike man ! check chapperal or denis kirk. search bark busters, knuckle protectors, acrebis and i think white bros makes some too.
