Gloves
Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2005 4:23 pm
I know I asked this last year but I never got around to buying new gloves and my Belstaff ones have done a more than adequate job until today... feck me it was cold.
Left home at 6 to be at Wandsworth Bridge Rd for 8. Cold hands after 15 mins, painfully cold hands after 25 mins, so painful had to stop on the hard shoulder after 35 mins
My hands haven't been this cold in years, although the -3 temp probably had something to do with it.
Anyway, simple choice. Do I go with the £70 ish Goretex, double cuff Held (or similar) glove or the £40 Hein Gericke Pathan gloves and a good quality thermal inner glove?... or A N other option? Any thermal glove recommendations?
And before you say it - I know heated grips and/or muffs are the answer but I don't do enough mileage to justify these add-ons... at least I hope I don't have to.
TIA
