Best Winter Motorcycle Gloves: Keep Your Digits Warm and Toasty

A big part of keeping your hands warm and dry while on the bike is keeping the glove sealed up around your wrists. These Harley-Davidson Cyrus gloves feature a neoprene cuff with a velcro closure. Neoprene is what wetsuits are made of, so you know it works well in the wet. The palm and knuckles use accordion stitching to help reduce bulk and stop bunching. The fingers are constructed with 45-degree pre-curve built into them so they feel more natural curved around your bike's grips all day. The palm is reinforced and padded and the entire glove is lined with 3M Thinsulate to keep warmth in while still allowing breathability to prevent blisters. The exterior is high-quality black cowhide and is embossed with Harley-Davidson across the back of the hand. This is a warm, waterproof glove, but is best suited to cold dry weather. They look great and is the type of glove that will look better the longer you wear them.

While trying to come up with a way to best describe the look and design of these Milwaukee Leather gloves, I discovered they are the glove of choice for cosplaying the Dread Pirate Roberts. I think that says everything I could, but in far fewer words. These are medium weight gloves, made from deerskin so they are on the softer side and offer good feel. They are billed as cold weather gloves, which seems more like California cold of 50 degrees. They do appear to be waterproof, but the cuffs don't seal as tight as others. These come in six sizes from Vizzini(small) all the way up to the full Fezzik(3XL). The price seems nearly impossible to beat for a glove of this quality. If you are planning on riding in cold weather, get some liners to wear under these and have fun storming the castle.

If you're the type of biker who thinks suffering builds character, these gloves aren't for you. The "7.4V" in the Tour Master Synergy 7.4V Men's Leather Motorcycle Gloves' name is calling out the 7.4 volt lithium-ion battery packs in each glove that powers its four stage electric heaters. Besides using a material called HiPora for waterproofing while still allowing breathability, and being insulated with a layer of 80 gram polyester, these gauntlet style gloves also have up to 8 hours of push button activated heating. The fingers of the gloves are designed with extra stretch and flex while the knuckles feature memory foam padding, so these gloves are comfortable for all day riding. The outer layer of the Synergy is a mix of leather and microfiber for durability in high-abrasion areas. A dual closure system seals the weather out of the fleece-lined interior. Don't worry, the thumb and forefinger features touchscreen compatible pads so you won't have to remove your glove to program your navigation or take a selfie. Tour Master includes a charger that allows for charging both 2.0 ah batteries simultaneously and everything is covered by a one year warranty.
