Modern Vespa

Can anyone recommend some gloves that keep finger ends warm in winter?

I got some rst ones and when it gets below 5 celsius my finger ends hurt.

Preferably ones i can get in uk please. Thanks

how long is your commute?

I just bought a pair of Wells Lamont gloves at Bass Pro Shop. Waterproof, breathable, 3M Insulate lined, very comfy, not unattractive, and not expensive. For gloves, I think you can get good ones for less if you stay away from the scooter/motorcycle stores. http://www.wellslamont.com/index.php/work/256

I find this keeps my hands very warm.



On the serious side...

Battery operated heated gloves.

I like two-finger 'lobster' or 'Vulcan' gloves for winter. Supposedly they decrease the surface area of your hand, thus keeping you warmer. That might all be hoodoo, but it helps psychologically

These are from Hein Gericke:

Near freezing temps, for assured comfort, look to electric.

Im rocking my burton dual layer gloves....what better gloves to wear than ones from a company thats purpose is to save people from cold and wind ?

I've used Gerbing electrics in the past when I was riding larger scooters. I'm all set-up to use them on my Vespas / Piaggio, but I've pretty much used only the scooter muffs the past two winters. They keep my hands really warm all winter, even with lighter weight gloves.

Of course, our winters aren't nearly as cold as some areas, but 30 degrees are the same everywhere I guess. We have morning temps down to 24 F, with highs around 55F in January-February.

I think muffs are the way to go for these temperatures.

Yes and for those of us with cold hands even when indoors, electric gloves or electric glove liners cannot be beat for comfort. This year I purchased heated glove liners made by Powerlet. These plug into my Powerlet power outlet on my Vespa and have 5 levels of heat. Now when I ride in below freezing temperatures, for the first time, my hands are warm and toasty. It is truly remarkable having warm hands, not just comfortable hands, when riding in below freezing temperatures.

They may not look great, but a pair of rubber work gloves OVER your regular riding gloves work well. They are totally waterproof and totally windproof. They also retain heat well.

If your hands aren't large or X-large you can get the rubber gloves in the grocery store. If your hands are size large or bigger you will need to find the bigger sizes on line. Remember, these have to fit OVER your regular riding gloves.

OK, OK, another great looking product that costs near double shipped!


Took a look as the design would be perfect for the snowblower too. I like the waterproof, thinsulate, and leather palm!

I've got pearl izumi lobster gloves, I like to say they have the warmth of a mitten with the dexterity of a glove.

Thanks, finally realizing I need tosearch "lobster" gloves got dozens of choices.

I recently picked up a pair of Dianese Clutch D-Dry gloves and I use Smartwool merino inserts with them. I'm a new rider so I don't have other riding gloves to compare to, but these seem really quite decent. My finger tips can still get a bit numb at times, but heated gloves aside, I'd be surprised if you could do a lot better. Maybe I'm wrong about this and welcome others with experience to chime in.

One main drawback is cost, but then again, they do look great :)

I have found that waterproof over-gloves do the business for me - I read a previous poster advocating the use of rubber gloves over normal ones. I guess it's much the same.
They seem to reduce wind-chill very effectively.

My over-gloves are lobster-claw ones and have textile linings - these:

Note the warning on the page: they will not go over thick gloves. I wear my leather summer gloves with separate silk inner gloves and the mitts over the top - that's four layers so perhaps that's the reason my hands stay warm.
