Keeping your hands from getting cold is imperative if you want to ride your bike through the winter months. You want to stay in full control of your motorcycle, and that becomes a challenge when your digits feel like ice cubes. From our huge offering, we picked our Top 5 favourite winter gloves. Although we might have cheated a bit with number 5. Have a look at our video and Tim will tell you all about them!


BYCITY ELEGANT

Elegant by name, and elegant by nature, these gloves from ByCity offer a clean, classy and classic look, with a high quality leather construction for excellent protection, comfort and feel. Subtle Flexi-shock knuckle protectors provide comfortable and unobtrusive armour so you can focus on your ride, and an abrasion resistant insert at the palm will help to protect you in a slide.

Ideal for winter regardless of your style or what bike you ride, the Elegant gloves are completely waterproof so you can combat the elements with ease. Touchsreen compatibility at the index and middle finger will allow you to make navigation adjustments on the fly, or send off that all important email without having to faff around removing your gloves. Snap stud closure helps attain the perfect fit, and four essential colour options will help match whatever your get-up is.


RACER FLYNN 3

The Flynn glove has been at the core of the Racer France winter offering for several years now. The 3rd rendition of this classy number has been completely reworked with an all-new look and some well-considered spec updates.

The Racer Flynn 3 sports a quintessentially old school look with its 100% goatskin leather outer and reversible synthetic sheep wool cuff resembling aviation surplus from years gone by. Racer has put their stamp on this timeless design with stitched finger detailing, branded bronze snap buttons, and most importantly modern Ergoflex knuckle protection.

Outstanding levels of comfort and protection have been achieved thanks to Racer’s fleece lining and Fiberfill insulation. This insulating layer is soft and warm but keeps down the overall mass of the glove to avoid the cumbersome feeling that many winter gloves suffer from. Completing this premium comfort package is a Polymax waterproof and breathable membrane that will keep you bone dry while regulating temperature too.


REVIT HYDRA 2 H2O

The Rev'It! Hydra 2 H2O is an ideal glove for urban riders that persist into the colder days. Its Hydratex membrane will keep you dry while a featherlight 3M Thinsulate G-liner will trap your body heat and keep your fingers from turning into ice cubes. The outside is made from a sturdy goatskin palm combined with an abrasion-resistant PWR|Shell back. The prominent, ergonomic knuckle protector is covered with a heavy rib texture. We love the short cuff nature of this glove because a full-on gauntlet can get a bit finicky when just going on short bursts through town. The Hydra 2 has a heavy rib elastic cuff that does an excellent job at sealing the glove around the wrist, and there is an adjustable velcro tab to ensure a secure fit. In our opinion, this is one of the better looking cold weather gloves out there, in three subtle but stylish colourways. Perfect for when you've had to put away your summer gloves but aren't ready for bulky depths-of-winter gauntlets just yet!


MERLIN CATTON 3

The Catton 3 Gloves, now in its third generation, remains a timeless choice for riders seeking a blend of warmth, dexterity, and style in an all-leather autumn/winter glove. This latest iteration, the Catton 3, is even lighter in weight while offering enhanced insulation, breathability, and waterproofing. It features a fully recycled and sustainably sourced and circular loop membrane from Sympatex® manufactured using 50% less water.


HEATED GLOVES

A decent heated glove is a godsend on a cold winter’s morning. They warm the entire back of your hand and fingers and often allow the designers to create a glove with a thinner thermal liner, allowing for more dexterity when riding. We have many options, each with their own approach to the concept. We couldn’t omit them from a winter gloves list but had a tough time picking just one, as a lot depends on the kind of riding you do. In any case, good brands to look at in this category are Macna, Merlin and Revit.
