What are you all wearing for gloves?

I dont know about the rest of you but my hands get tired from holing on so tight because of the two layer gloves and the sliding you get in the glove.

Id like to find a good one layer glove that keeps my hands reasonably warm while riding in the hills. Ill wear my two layer gloves for the trail to stay warm.

Ya Im running the Klim Togwotee gloves and Klim Powerxross gloves but they are both a dual layer so you get that slipping between the layers.

I want a good single layer glove that works well.

The Klim stuff is very warm and does a good job, just looking for something a little better for grip.

Take a look at ww.ruoutside.com they have some really good gloves ( I think I have one of each pair of their lighter ones) takes a week or so to get them but they are priced well and are good quality.

Have som FXR glove that are a single layer and they are made of neoprene really warm when their dry and are still pretty warm when soaking wet.
There great when its pretty warm outside.
Also have silicon pads on the palm and fingers so you get better grip

I wear a pair of Mac Tools Insulated impact gloves, they are a mechanic type. They are awsome gloves and keep my hands warm while riding. Only problem is they dont make them anymore :(

I just bought a pair from my Mac dealer this week... As far as gloves go, I wear leather on the trail, and switch to FXR Adrenaline gloves when in the alpine, grip heaters on low. I've frozen my hands numerous times on the rigs, but I find the neoprene glove works well. Best to keep a couple pair and switch out during the day. Another good glove I've used is the FOX Thermalpaw - same idea as the adrenaline glove. Very light, good dexterity, not bulky at all. They are not the warmest glove in the world, but insulation adds bulk - you can't have it all...

On warm days I use Snap-On cold weather mechanics gloves. Very light and warm with good grip and feel. On colder days what else but Klim.

I wear mechanics gloves from lordco. with the handle bar warmers they are great. I found marks work world has a HUGE slection of gloves like this and price is much cheeper. home depo also has a construction grade glove that I want to try. I like my gloves thin but also carry a spare pair of thick ones just incase I get lost lol.

I wear cabela's goretex gloves. I have two pairs but i've never needed the second pair. Traill ride in all day riding, digging etc, trail ride out never a issue. Sometimes if it's like -20 on the trail I need to turn the handlebar warmers on low, just because I have nothing to block the wind on my hands. However my hands get cold very easy. But my hands have NEVER got wet or cold while riding, and most days I never use the handlebar warmers. Plus they are only like $50.

Thanks for all the input. Im leaning more towards the mechanics style gloves. Found these ones today.





One is a leather and the other is neoprene.

Mechanix also has a cold weather glove but it doesnt look as waterproof.
