Have a look at these RST gloves. I have only tried them on in the shop. Felt great, not too bulky and have built in heating element with rechargeable li-on batteries. Felt nice and toasty with no hassle with external wiring etc. https://www.rst-moto.com/motorcycle-gloves/waterproof-gloves/rst-thermotech-heated-wp-glove.html
I have a pair of these Wolf gloves. In fact today was the first time I used them since early this year, getting cold out there now! Great pair of gloves - warm, dry, good feel. http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/140146
Thank you for all the suggestions, I shall try to find stockists to try them on, it's great to have a starting point.
http://www.getgeared.co.uk/alpinestars-polar-gloves-gtx-black II have been wearing these and they have been warm and 100% waterproof so far
I've just treated myself to a pair of Weise Outlast Diablo WP Gloves, http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/224377 The quality of them is outstanding and the leather is beautifully soft and supple. I've only worn them once and for only a short time since my hands were too hot in this mild weather. They felt so comfortable and "fitted like a glove!" Not too bulky and no problems with the controls on the Blade. We'll have to wait and see how well they perform in the cold and wet.
After trying on many pairs, I finally went with these, as there was little to no 'floppy thumb syndrome'. http://www.getgeared.co.uk/alpinestars-corozal-drystar-performance-gloves-wp-black They may not be the warmest, but any bulkier and I'd just not use them. I also got a pair of these, which I tried under my regular Rukka gloves on the way home, and I was impressed. https://www.planet-knox.com/product/cold-killers-undergloves-2015/ Thanks again for all the help.
Aren't they short gloves? Might get a bit chilly around the wrists. Look good quality though and the liner gloves are a good idea.
I wear my jacket over the gloves, so wanted ones without the gauntlet style wrist. As long as the fingers stay warm, I'll be happy, the wrists can take the pain
Normally i wear the winter gloves from Knox...i think it is called zero or dry bone. Nice quality kit so give it a try to a dealer next to you
Was using the RST Tractech Evo Waterproof gloves last winter, and very happy - dry/warm. On the occasions that was out in sub zero, have a pair of silk base layer climbing gloves that fit underneath, which I find helps combat the cold and don't restrict movement. New blade this year ...... spec'd heated grips so hopefully they may not be needed.
I took the Alpinestars gloves back, as after a quick ride, I accepted that while they were nice and tactile, they were not actually going to be that warm For now the Knox under gloves are working a treat.
Rukka R-Star .... love mine. Waterproof, goretex, comfy and if the temp drops it has a second internal pocket for extra warmth. Had them 2 years so far. Never missed a beat
