I want to hear your opinions on what the warmest glove for winter riding is. I am looking for some warmer gloves.

 

I know this isn't what you're asking, but the ONLY way to go for winter riding is a $39 set of electric handwarmers and a $15 thumbwarmer too. Then you can ride with fairly light gloves which give you better grip and throttle/brake lever control.

For warm hands everywhere outdoors, not just when on your quad/snowmobile where you have access to a source of electric power, try a pair of top quality ski gloves.

Mine are the Descente FA model with the thermoreflective lining. They are lightweight and not particularly bulky. They work great and are actually too warm to wear if the outside temperature is above 30 degrees. They cost about $90.00 when my wife got them for me for Christmas several years ago.

Warm ski or SkiDoo gloves will definately help.

Last winter we ran our machines on the frozen lakes in Ontario. I can tell you that when you are running wide open across a large lake, that it really narrows the gap of great gloves.

But once I put hand guards on the machines, it made a huge difference. You could wear just about any warm glove.

So if you plan to ride for a long time in low temperatures, then hand guards and a great pair of ski gloves will make a difference. I will also say that taking along another pair will also help. You sweat in one pair, and when you cool off, they are damp inside, and hard to get warm again.

I think that the "real good" snowmobile mittens are the only way to go. I've never been able to wear gloves on a sled for very long, even the very best ones don't keep my hands warm as a pair of good leather sled mitts. That's all I use on my quad when snow plowing in the winter. You'd be surprised how quick you can get used to mitts when your hands are warm. I've tried every pair of gloves on the planet that are "supposed" to work in sub-zero conditions, wind-proof, etc., mitts are the best.

 

I saw a nice winter pair of riding gloves at the Polaris dealership. They felt very warm and comfortable enough to ride hard. They say polaris on them and are made for riding atvs in the winter.

rgv-Please explain.
As for me I'm using Kombi snowborder gloves with hot pockets.(hotpockets made for hunting are those disposable oxygen activated pacs you stuf in your gloves or boots and last about 8 hours of warmth.And are well worth it!
