Warm Winter Motorcycle Gloves- Staff Test

When looking for warm winter motorcycle gloves you can't beat other people's experiences for complimenting your own research.

Here at Motorcycle clothing & accessory retailer GetGeared we were keen to know how our Leatherhead, Surrey store staff member, Jordan, coped with his motorcycle journey from London to Bournemouth in temperatures ranging from -2deg to +3deg.

Jordan was wearing the Held Nordpol Lobster claw gloves, (Just £44.99) and the Rev-It Grizzly undergloves (Just £22.99) - so, for less than £68 - were his hands warm?

Very warm winter motorcycle gloves combo: Held Norpol & Rev-It Grizzly from GetGeared

Here's Jordan's verdict:

"Both the Held Nordpol and the Rev'It Grizzly were size 9 and fitted perfectly into one another. No pressure points, just warm for all 110 miles. Using the lobster gloves took less time to get used to than I expected. I am not intending to make many more journeys of that length this winter, so did not want to spend too much money. This combination of winter gloves and under mitts is a treat"

Good news then, for under £68 Jordan's hands were kept warm. So, if you're looking for the warmest winter motorcycle gloves, look no further than motorcycle clothing and accessory retailer, GetGeared :)
