Non-thick winter gloves

[erkishhorde]

I'm looking for some new winter gloves. I've currently got an older version of these Tourmaster gloves.

They are decently warm and on a long ride in cold weather I find that my hands are actually rather sweaty so stopping and taking the gloves off and then putting them back on is kinda annoying because they get a little soggy. The most annoying part is that they're so thick and stiff that I can't properly grip the handlebars. I end up using more of a pincer grip than a real grip otherwise I lose feeling in my fingers. Because of this my fingers start hurting rather quickly. I like the gauntlet style for keeping out the cold and the little windshield wiper blade is nice too.

Any suggestions? I remember posting this on TOB at one point and a lot of people liked some kind of H2O glove but I don't remember the exact name or brand, just that it had H2O in the name.

Rev 'It? I had a pair of first gear glvoes lost them so i need a new pair as well and Im thinking of Rev it's line up but it is a bit pricey when i checked them out at the dealer.

I hate Bert's mega mall but I'm thinking I'll go pay them a visit as well as cyclegear to try on some gloves. We'll see what I come up with.

The RevIt Celcius gloves are about as thin as you will get in a winter glove and are almost as warm as the Tourmasters.

+1 on the RevIT Celcius gloves; about as streamlined a winter glove as I could find... revit are topnotch (even though they are made in China...).

I have been really happy with these AlpineStars.  Goretex/Thinsulate.  They are very warm for the thickness  and do not hinder the use of controls.  Kind of expensive, but worth it in the mornings.

How cold are the temps going to be that you are going to be riding in ?

I've found that in temps in the low 60s or maybe high 50s I wear a pair of silk liner gloves under my race gloves that I always wear and my hands are warm not sweaty.

Silk liner gloves are inexpensive. $10-15 at most.

Try sierratradingpost.com They have all kinds of winter gloves at big discounts.    Dolph

Before I was running up and down the CA coast from LA to San Luis Obispo. I'll still be doing that once in a while to visit old friends but mostly it's morning commutes in Santa Ana. Not sure how cold it gets out here yet.

So... where do you guys get your Revit gear? I normall frequent newenough but they don't seem to carry the brand. Neither does Motostrano (sponsor from ToB). Suggestions? Also, I found a few Revit ______ H2O gloves, none of them the Celsius. Anybody know if it's been discontinued? I see a Farenheit now though.

Try Motostrano or www.beachmoto.com for Revit gear.

Hope you find what your are looking for

Scuderia in San Francisco carries lots of Rev'It gear.

It doesn't get all that cold where I come from, so my advice might not suit you, but I've been really happy with the BMW gloves I got this winter. If you've got a local BMW (bike) dealer, it might be worth dropping by and trying them on...

He's from California.  Comparable climate.  Actually where he's riding is probably slightly warmer than Sydney.

Interesting how most of the dealers are either BMW or Ducati dealers.
