I rode with a pair of Rev'it R59 gloves all summer. Awesome fit and feel. Good protection, not mesh but reasonably cool. These are great down to about 55 degrees. I am now trying to find some cold weather gloves for less than $140 that allow me to feel the grips and levers.

Has anyone tried using Hand Wind Deflectotors? A touch expensive ($90), but may be worth every penny.

Can someone recommend good winter gloves?

I just finalized a deal to get some Tour Master Winter Gloves. I'll do a write up as soon as I get them.

They don't look cool but they do look warm. I'm getting them used for $50 but new they are only $80 at new enough. Check out the post under the for sale stuff.

Well, I just got them today. *sniff sniff* and they still smelly like our buddy Damnage! Thanks for the gloves man.

Anyway, these are exactly what I wanted. A comfortable beast of a glove to block some serious cold. The thumb squeegie and rain covers are a nice touch too. They are supposed to be 100% waterproof too.

I'm going to go for a spin as soon as the sprinker guy is done bolwing my hose. Ok, that didn't sound right, but you know what I mean. :lol:

I'll report back tonight.

They also have a rain cover. At the very top of the guantlet there's a zipper. Unzip it and you'll see what I mean.

I only got to ride a few miles on my bike today with these gloves because it started to rain. But what I did do was hop in my car then stick my hand out the window as I drove around with the glove on.

I'm very pleased with these gloves. They cut the wind and the cold just as they are supposed to. It was only 50 when I was on my bike. My hands were the warmest part of my body. I was wearing Under Amor cold gear pants with leather pants over that and still my balls were cold. It's too bad Tourmaster doesn't make a little glove for my testies. Anyway, the only down side is the bulk. I can still use my turn signals and use all the leavers just fine, but there is a little more resistance.

If I were asked if the trade off between dextarity and warmth was worth it, I would say hell yes! They are still better than poofy cheap snow gloves in both feel and warmth. If you can get these for $80 then it's a steal.

I'm going to buy some neoprene cold weather sport gloves I saw at Dicks later in the week. Maybe they will be thin and warm? Only one way to find out. These Tourmaster gloves with my Nation Cycle hand guards that are comming should be a great combo for practical riding well below the 40F mark.

I give these gloves 9 out of 10 stars. A great buy!

I've got a pair of Held Phantoms just picked up a week ago. I really like em. To be honest, I like my Dainese Hellracer gloves better in terms of FIT. But, I believe the Held Phantoms will stay together better than the Dainese gloves.
