Winter riding gloves can be very bulky. Has anyone who rides in cold weather used these National Cycle Hand Deflectors?

I think they look alittle funny but that's just my opinion

If looks aren't an issue, NOTHING beats those gauntlets. I have ridden in some real cold weather with nothing but thin cotton gloves underneath.

No Victor, they are down right funny looking.

Which gauntlets?

Several versions of these are available as Biker Paws or so forth. Nothing will keep you warmer. A set of these and some electric grips and you almost don't need gloves.

ok I take back that I said what Lil had posted were funny looking, what Gazoo just posted is funnier looking. but, I bet they do work great!

Oh, they remind me of HippoHands

Same same. You ever ride with them? They are ugly but are the best. They allow a good boundary layer of warm air to build around your hands.

I haven't yet. We have some very pretty and fairly cold (for riding anyway) fall days around here and am considering something. It is all about extending the riding season a bit.

I commuted 12 mos a year for awhile. The only way I could do it was with them.

 

[DiamondLil]

12 mos a year! In Utah?

No, I have only lived in Utah a year. When I lived in Idaho though.

Me and a buddy of mine had a bet who would ride their bike every day. Then after a year it got to be who would miss a day first. I lost because I got a flat tire.

Geeezzz Man!!!! Idaho is way too cold for that! I hope the winnings were worthy of the torture of an Idaho winter.

 

[GAZOO!]

I only lived 3 miles from work. But there were a couple of 0 degree days that were no fun.

 

[DiamondLil]

Would you ever make that bet again?

 

[GAZOO!]

No, I used to be all ate up about the hard-core thing. I delighted in going to the bar in January on my Sportster and loudly proclaiming that the only bike in front of the biker bar was a Sportster.

Unfortunately my hard-core thing bit me in the ass on occasion when I didn't want to ride but did because I had a rep to maintain. Now I ride if I want to and if not dont. I try to be much less judgemental of how others enjoy their motorcycles.

It sounds like that old thing about becoming more wise with age.

 

[GAZOO!]

Or boring.
