On old gloves

very true ashley!!!!!!!!!! a spare set in the bag helps a bit........

Around here I carry a cold weather set, spring set and summer deer skin gloves all but the summer gloves have some degree of water resistance to them. Nothing but rubber is water-proof.
One year on a 5 day ride it got real cold and wet. We were all soaked and the gloves were soaked through. We stopped and for the heck of it I put on a set of those surgical type thin gloves, hands stayed warm and dry until we could get out leather gloves all dried out.

surgical gloves............great idea!! thanks!

I forgot to add, that I put my wet gloves over the top of em, didn't care if they were wet or not then. Up here in the northern country it can get really wet and cold at the same time, then a 1/2 hour later the suns out and fine.

i figured ya put em back on......surgicals would tear without them probably.....

I get the surgical gloves at harbor freight,
use them when changing oil and doing
messy jobs.

PUt them on under your gloves and they
cut out the wet and cold

Cold in floridaland

you betcha!

Ride home from Daytona in late Feb, 2 am 40 degrees, 70 dew point,
wet, cold, damp.

Frigging cold will go right through you in FL at night...

Then we get up in the AM and its sunny and 70 the next day but
the coldest I've been is on a bike at night in FL...

Coldest ride for me was leaving Reno one time after Street Vibs at 6 AM in the morning. Clear and cold out with no clouds. 21 F and I was riding my first Springer. Wife had packed our trailer and I could not find my winter gloves. Rode with my summer lightweight gloves. Headed for Susanville, Ca for the first stop 90 miles away. By the time we got there I couldn't move my hands or get my helmet off. Wife had to undo the quick release for me. Didn't drink any coffee for about a hour, couldn't get my hands pried loose from the cup but before that I ran cold water over my hands while in the restroom. When it got up to 40 we thought it was a heat wave out so we rode on. Wife had heated grips on that bike and a full fairing/windshield so she was fine. Didn't have my surgical gloves with me on that trip. I can't tell you how bad that hurts being that cold. :gah:

I've gotten back from Daytona
and been so cold got the shakes
hit the shower on full hot, then have
something warm to drink, turn on a
space heater and sit by it for an hour and still
cold....

Yeah Heated gloves would be good.

A little helper is to stop by Y'all mart or
a hunting store, they have these little
heat packets, pop them and they
get warm, slip on in each glove and it
works great for a couple of hours..

I now have heated grips, heated liner and gloves on all my bikes because of that time at Reno.
Besides as you get older getting cold really sucks big time.
