November 17, 201312 yr I like to ride in the fall in winter seasons but have a mild form off artritis, so it is important for me to keep warm. Recently i've bought myself a pair off Kenny bagy trousers, i think it is called the Evasion model, and a Max equipe shirt, Wulffsport, over this i am using a Jitsie jacket. This combo is warm enough for the body as long as it stays dry, thats why impragnate it regularly with a fabric sealant. The problem is keeping my hands warm and dry and the feet warm, boots can be sealed with leather compound. Has anyone a tip for a pair off gloves that can be made waterproof and can keep the hands warm enough during a day off riding and waiting for a section? I already tried normal motorcycle gloves, but they don't have enough grip and the Jitsie gloves i use during the summer are to cold in the winter time and they aren't waterproof. Thanks!
November 17, 201312 yr I use nitrile workshop gloves under my thin Hebo trials gloves for single venue trials.Proper road gauntlets over the top of the other two when its really cold for road based events.
November 18, 201312 yr There are a ton of snowmobile gloves out there that are ideally suited to winter trials Have a look at Klim and Scott gloves
November 18, 201312 yr Thermal long johns. No restriction in movement and work well. Look up sealskin gloves. No reason to stop riding with the quality of available wares that are available now.
November 18, 201312 yr A friend of mine just put some grip heaters on his trials bike. Probably be a good idea to check the wattage requirements and the stator output to be sure it can support the heaters.
November 18, 201312 yr Author Thanks for the tips! I will look at what i can get overhere. I didn't know Hebo has neoprene gloves.
December 17, 201312 yr Author I've found a pair off Hebo neoprene gloves and they are realy warm. Last weekend i have ridden in a club event while it was somewhat colder and moist, no problems with the hands! It looks like i've got the winter gear together and it works. Thanks for all the tips.
