Alright, let’s talk about these winter motorcycle gloves. You know, the kind you need when it’s colder than a well-digger’s butt out there.
First off, you gotta keep them hands warm. I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout just a little bit warm, I mean toasty warm. Like, “I could hold a snowball all day” warm. So, you want gloves with somethin’ soft and warm inside. They call it linin’ or somethin’. And make sure they got them long sleeves, goes way up your arm, so the wind don’t sneak in. Wind’s a sneaky fella, you know. Gets in everywhere it ain’t supposed to.
Now, rain. Oh, that rain. It can make you miserable quicker than a skunk at a picnic. So, your gloves gotta be waterproof. Not just a little bit water-resistant, I mean water don’t even think about gettin’ in. They got this fancy stuff they put in gloves now, like a thin layer of plastic or somethin’, keeps the water out. They call it TPU, sounds fancy, but all I care is if it keeps my hands dry. And some gloves, they got this other stuff, Hipora they call it. Sounds like a dance, but it keeps the water out too. So, look for that kinda stuff.
- Warm Lining: Keep your hands warm, like real warm.
- Long Sleeves: Stop the wind from sneakin’ up your arms.
- Waterproof: Rain ain’t gettin’ in these gloves. No sirree.
Some folks like them leather gloves. Says they last longer, and they feel good. And they do keep the wind and rain out pretty good, specially if they got them long cuffs. You know, the part that goes over your jacket sleeve. Keeps the rain from runnin’ down your arm and into your gloves. But leather can get cold, so you gotta make sure they got that warm stuff inside.
Then there’s these other gloves, made out of cloth or somethin’. They can be good too, specially if they got that waterproof stuff I was talkin’ about. And they can be lighter than leather, which is nice if you’re ridin’ for a long time. Your hands get tired, you know.
Now, I heard tell of some fancy gloves, they got heaters in ‘em. Like little electric blankets for your hands. Never tried ‘em myself, seems a bit much. But if you’re ridin’ in real cold weather, like up north where them snowmobiles are, might be worth lookin’ into. They call it Thinsulate insulation. Sounds warm, don’t it?
And don’t forget, you want gloves that fit good. Not too tight, not too loose. You gotta be able to grip them handlebars, you know. Can’t be fumbling around with gloves that are too big or too small. Go try ‘em on, make sure you can move your fingers good. Gotta be able to honk that horn if some fool cuts you off.
So, there you have it. Warm, windproof, and waterproof. That’s what you need in a good pair of winter motorcycle gloves. Don’t go buyin’ some cheap junk, you’ll just end up with cold, wet hands. And nobody wants that. Spend a little extra, get somethin’ that’ll last. Your hands will thank you for it. And remember, whether you are ridin’ sporty, tourin’, or just cruisin’ around, you can find the right waterproof gloves for you.
And one more thing, I saw some fella talkin’ about how he tested gloves for six years, rode twenty-five thousand miles with ’em. Said some gloves are like ski gloves, but the good ones, they look good and work good. So, pay attention to what folks say, specially if they’ve been ridin’ a long time. They know what they’re talkin’ about.
Anyways, that’s all I gotta say about winter motorcycle gloves. Stay warm, stay dry, and keep them hands happy.
