jonty Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hi, Can anyone recommend any waterproof or thermal riding gloves please. My son's always worn Hebo ones but they don't keep out the cold or the rain. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gii Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hebo used to make a neoprene trials glove - the material wetsuits are made of. Because of the seams it wasn't 100% waterproof, but it was windproof. That way if your hands got wet they still stayed pretty warm, lasted longer than the ordinary gloves too but I haven't seen them for a couple of years now. Worth checking with your local dealer.

eric23 Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Back in the day when I lived in cooler weather we used to use thermal glove liners. They looked like dress gloves, they were tight fitting and had metalic threads woven into the cloth that reflected your body heat back. A backpacking/outdoors shop should have a selection of glove liners. Polypropyline (sp?) is pretty good stuff and insulats when wet. In a pinch, the exhaust header pipe is a great hand warmer, however back in the day we wore real leather gloves, not the man-made material variety we wear today (don't get too close or it will melt on your hands).

bigfoot Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I ride in cold weather with the HEBO neoprene glove. As said above they are not waterproof but when wet they stay warm. The last longer that the normal ones and give great bar grip in all weathers. I think you can still get these, check with your local dealer.

jtt Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Another vote for the neoprene gloves. They are not waterproof, as has been noted, but do keep the wind off and stay warm even when wet. Heck, I even use mine Ice Racing...well below 0C.

techno Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 go for the x-citing neopreme gloves i got a pair a few weeks ago from kevin dignan trials you could pick them up for about 25 quid well worth it for wet and cold weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin j Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 also check out a kayaking, canoeing or rock climbing store. The neoprene paddling gloves are made of closed cell like wet suit material. work great, and decent priced. kcj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
