Not worth it

 

It's been a few years since I used them in cold cold weather but had a pair for the MTB for a while. Nice glove.

Actually had them on today, I'm a fan

Far less protective than some would want

 

Yes. I like them. Probably no good for long trail rides where you are on the road but around tracks/woods they work well. MTB or dirt bike.

 

Thanks all - l have used these mechanix impact for years and really rate them (nowhere as clunky as they look) but fancied something a bit warmer for winter.

I will give the 100% a try for a comparison.

JFI, the impact glove is well worth a try - light feel, comfortable, some protection and no palm bunching - just not the warmest (but much better than mx gloves) .......

 

I’m all over that like a rash, modern MX gloves are trash, the Briskers are pretty rubbish too, no protection hardly warmer than Impacts, best thing is talc, Gator Gripz and Impacts

I've found the best option for warmth is to double layer. I wear a pair of KTM Racetwch waterproof and under those I wear a pair of inner gloves for cold weather. Similar to these

Any issues with bunching up on the palm area?

 

No, they work well, I've done this for the last 2 years.

 

Snug, grippy, fully waterproof, thermal lined, cheap

 

Thats that sorted then - on balance, briskers ok for the mtb and not much else.

Maybe just stick with the impacts and have more porrige for breakfast 😂

 

I use Endura winter gloves on the MTB longer cuffs and double Velcro really help

 

My only gripe with them is, they tend to rip between the fingers easy.
i now use Fist Frosty Fingers and like them more. But as per previous comments, not substantial enough for long trail riders or road work during the colder days

 

I’ve used the brisckers for a few years now for green lanes, I find hem good on the technical, ok on the road until it’s freezing, they are ok in light rain, but not in heavy rain. No protection on them !
I use a heavy glove now on the road then change to the 100%, on the trails!!

got given a set of AS, gloves for Xmas but not tested them yet!!

 

I bought a pair of these thin overgloves to use as emergency wind and rain protection.

Not tested in the real wet but they really cut the wind down and, to a certain extent, mean you can wear thinner gloves underneath.
Not the total answer but pretty useful anyway.

 

I have these. Tried an unscientific test of putting them under a running tap and my hands were wet afterwards

 

Wet suit gloves (neoprene).
The best way to keep wet hands warm, and they do offer some impact protection but not great abrasion resistance.

 

I use the M-Pact gloves after Ship's recommendation, they're excellent but I wouldn't be without grip heaters for cold days anymore. I just use the cheap sub £10 ones . On a RFS I just ran them on the AC lighting circuit glued/taped to the bars/throttle under the grips , just enough heat to keep the cold off & no chance of flattening the battery. On later bikes with lock-on grips I cut the grip off glue & tape the foil heater elements to the plastic throttle & the clutch side then glue a throttle side grip of choice on both sides. Wire up to the headlight DC feed so no chance of leaving them on & flattening the battery. It's a bit of a faff but well worth it. Make sure you get heaters with 2 heat settings some are only on/off & are too hot . Plenty on ebay just put in grip heaters.

 

Good call - l had forgotten about those sort - l had always dismissed heated grips as l dont like the hard grips you always get with them. Will have to have a look for the foil stick on jobs 👍🏻

 

Thank you 👍🏻

 

Dirbike gloves in general have little protection other than agains some abrasion. Nothing compared to on road gloves with plastic knuckles etc. I have had a pair of Briskers for years and I use them during cold weather riding. I'm happy with mine. Fit my hands perfectly, durability has been great and they are warm enough. When it gets below -10C or for faster (ice track riding with top speeds above 100kph) then I put on handlebar muffs or whatever they are called.

 

Get some grip heaters..

 

Get out on your bike mate

 

When I put that lot back on it I will 😂

Waiting on a new intermediate flange. Not doing all that work and sticking the old one back on there. It’s worn away on the inside and needs replacing. Been waiting 4 weeks now 😐

Reckon by the time KTM sort things out it will be summer and I won’t need grip heaters.. 🤦

 

P.s. this is a great bit of kit. Everyone should have one of these in their toolbox

Going back to the post… 🙂

Seriously. you need grip heaters for all round off road green lane riding

 

Crows foot attachments will do similar 👍🏻

Although not offer the same reach as a crows foot ......... ummm - will google crows foot extension.

Crows foot - bugger all to do with cold hands 😂

 

Tried briskers but couldn't get a comfortable fit. I use them on the MTB now and they are warmer but no good for Enduro for me.

I think the best thing to keep your hands from getting cold is wrap around hand guards. I don't think I've ever really had cold hands on the bike.

 

I only ever used to get cold hands if there was ice/snow about, but l think advancing years might be to blame 🙂

 

I was happy with the Brisker...tbh nothing special, just a neoprene glove.
