Try 100% briskers for trails, and carry thicker gloves for the longer road sections [emoji106]

Try these...

Only joking! You are right even 'summer' road gloves are not nice when green laning, I just use some MX gloves, they are not warm but my 'bark busters' keep the draft off my hands anyway.

 

Mechanix gloves - best gloves l have used ..... better than any "offroad" gloves (not as bulky as they look in the link - good for summer and winter)

How’s the Velcro holding up?

Got some offroad style gloves with fsitly decent protection and cool supplemented with heated grips, my mates all take the piss but look very jealous on cold days.

Never worried too much about waterproof as never stay dry when splashing through mud and puddles anyway

 

Mechanix gloves are good as @Ship says.
If you treat yourself, the KLIM Dakar glove is really good. They last well too. The HELD adventure type glove is also very good but $$$

 

Knox Orsa enduro glove, not cheap but good.
then add heated grips, perfect for winter.

Another vote for mechanix mpact gloves

 

For the last 35 years of riding a use leather lined army gloves for riding in the winter and army gortex jacket I still have the same jacket and gloves

In the summer I wear Oakley tactical gloves, really comfy

 

I wear Knox Orsa 3 gloves and I'm very happy with them, b ut they are getting on £100 a pair.

Having seen the Mechanix gloves mentioned above, I think I'll be getting them next at 1/3 the price.

 

The velcro, and the rest of the glove, is still good. Very hardwearing glove and well put together. Not looking for anything else to replace them. Good for trials and trails throughout the seasons.

 

You can get mpact gloves without a velcro cuff.

 

I have bought all sorts of "winter" gloves over the last 10 years or so and spent silly amounts of money. In the end, I now have simple neoprene trials gloves. They are windproof and get warmer when they get wet.

I have bad inflammatory arthritis and cold wet hands cause my finger joints to seize up and hurt like buggery.

A mate has some old army goretex gloves that work really well. Leather and flexible enough to work a rifle trigger.

 

I used to ride my XR400 to work some days when I lived in Germany, my issue Soldier 95 leather/vortex gloves were the only ones I have EVER used that actually kept my fingers warm, -17c wasn’t unusual in winter

Went to local surplus place yesterday to find the 'soldier 95' gloves and see if the would be a good alterbative for the mechanix gloves l use atm.

They had them - good gloves - thermal, waterproof, but too bulky for me for the dirtbike (not overly bulky, more like a summer roadbike glove, but defo lighter than a typical winter glove, and equally as capable from what @Steve Scurr said above). Defo a good contender therefore for road bike use when my current ones wear out (saying that, the halvarsons are bombproof and have lasted years).

Ended up not getting gloves, but they had these really mega warm hoodies - jack pyke sherpa - so l got one of them instead.

Lots of good stuff available - worth a look in your local place if you havent been for a while.
