gloves

[jmkjr72]

i know this may be a bit early
fall gets cold in new and was wondering if any one knows of any good warm gloves for scooting on those cold days temps of 25 to 45 as i plan to ride as late into fall as possible

[pantaloneus]

I would like to ride when its colder too so I may need some gloves

so has anybody found any gloves? we went to wal-mart earlier tonight at like midnight and my hands were freezing

[jmkjr72]

i have just been using some buckskin gloves
i havent found any for fall or winter yet well that i am willing to pay the price for
when i was on vaction we stoped at a harley store adn they had some nice ones for 100 bucks but thats a bit steep for me

we took a scooter trip this weekend and coming back we got caught in the rain and it was already pretty chilly and windy. i definitely would have loved having some gloves today

[jmkjr72]

yes the gloves do help in the rain
you have to pull them over your rain jacket or else you end up with an armfull of water in your jacket

Maybe this is a dumb question, but wouldn't ski gloves work for riding in the winter?

I'm just wearing an old pair of cycling gloves right now, but I've got a ways to go before I need anything warmer.

the problem with ski gloves is the wind and if you fall they dont provide any protection
they do keep your hands a bit warmer that is what i wore in april is just some good winter ski gloves and most of them are not very water proof
i was thinking about these gloves

Those are nice looking gloves. Unfortunately I will probably never get anything like that down here, but I did buy some mesh/textile gloves fro riding. Get protection and not have my hands sweat like crazy.

it gets just a bit colder here
one year when we went down to disney the security guard thought my sister and i were crazy it was 50 out that night and we had the kids at the pool but hey 50 deg in january is a heat wave for us we normally have highs of below zero that time of year

so what "rain gear" do you all wear? when it's raining i usually just tough it out with whatever i have on. and in the winter i just wore my fleece lined gloves because they were warm and i could move my fingers easily, but i'm sure there are better ones out there

[jmkjr72]

i have a rain suit that i got at fleet farm its pants and a rain jacket it cost less then 25 and its blaze orange
its made of a pvc like material cheap but it keeps me dry

I got a two-piece rain suit at K-Mart. It is bright yellow. When I wear it I look like a giant canary, but it keeps me dry!
