I've also been looking for some winter/wet gloves. I really like dealing with NewEnough, I've gotten outstanding deals from them in the past. I like to support those that support us, too!

Can't go too wrong for the price! I think I'll order a pair today! Thanks for pointing this out!

Just ordered a pair. BTW, they have an option where they will donate $1 in merchandise to ST-Owners.com when you order. (Maybe we can fund Mellow's Christmas present this way...)

I have a pair of FG winter gloves... don't know the model name, but they have 40 gram Thinsulate and Hipora... zipper up the side, semi gauntlet with a velcro wrist adjustment and index finger squeegee... leather.

I've had these for a couple of years now... pretty warm to me, not real bulky... been using them pretty regularly now :rolleyes:

Can't see your linky due to firewall restrictions, so I just describe what I have :rolleyes:

Waterproof/breathable Hipora lining
3M® Thinsulate™ insulation
Genuine leather palms
Abrasion resistant soft armor panels


This is really all it says and this
Here is a great opportunity to get a pair of winter gloves at a very good price. The Commander gloves are made for comfort in cool/cold and wet weather. The Thinsulate® insulation used is very, err…thin so the gloves don’t have the “puffy” feel of more heavily insulated gloves (which some dislike because it hinders their feel of the motorcycle’s controls). This design offers a full gauntlet allowing you to pull the gloves over the sleeves of your jacket, and the gauntlet has a draw cord that you can tighten making it easy to stay warm/dry. The back of the hand and fingers have some thin padding, and the palm is reinforced with a layer of leather providing abrasion protection. There is a visor wiper on the index finger of the left hand glove (a handy feature for a waterproof glove). There is a Velcro strap at the wrist to hold the glove securely on your hand in the event of a fall. Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above to see the shield wiper and the other features.
