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.

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.

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).

Barry Sheen used to wear Dish Washing gloves. Very stylish and available now from your local grocer in latest fashion Pink.

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.

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.

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

Thanks for all that.

I'm going for the x-citing ones.

Merry Christmas.

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

Worth a look, thanks.

I have a pair of black Fox gloves which are brilliant. Ideal for cold and wet winters.
