Gloves Undergloves... (cotton/elastan or silk)

[ST1100Y]

My lined GoreTex-gloves keeping my paws perfectly dry, but I sometimes have the issue of getting wet hands while loading the bike in the morning, handling the zippers of my wet jacket during a break, during refueling, etc... and then I'm getting stuck on the glove liner, making it hard to get my hands in, or worse: I'm pulling the lining out while trying to get the gloves off my hands again...

Took me like 3 decades to finally come to the solution of trying those thin fabric undergloves, and totally love them...
No stuck hands, no risk of ruining the (expensive) lined gloves.

I carry a pair of plain old household rubber gloves - the ones you buy for $2 at a grocery store - in my saddlebag and in the front footwell of my car. I use these to handle gas pumps, etc. during the ongoing COVID pandemic.

I carry a pair of plain old household rubber gloves...

Again: I don't need to waterproof the outside of my riding gloves, I just needed to reduce the friction between skin and liner in cases of having damp fingers and hands
And just like the spandex style functional underwear, those thin, textile undergloves provide the required comfort in this, and support the GoreTex breathability.
I've rather big paws (XXL/12) hence always have some difficulties to stuff my knuckles through the wrist-cut of motorcycle gloves, and also there those textiles reduce the efforts to a minimum...
I was amazed: dripping wet hands from loading the bags into the panniers, I put those textiles on, wrapped the jacket gaitors over thumb and wrists, grabbed the (expensive) GoreTex gloves and slipped my hands into them with literally no effort, just brilliant!
And during a stop about 1.5 hours later I pulled the gloves off just as easily (normally your damp fingertips would be stuck like glued to the glove lining) and I'd found that my hands and fingers had already completely dried; the gaitors on the wrists where still a little damp from the morning action, but fingers and palms where bone dry by then... I'm sold

On cold rides, I wear a pair of these on the link (or pretty similar, couldn't find the ones I bought), adds a bit of comfort. First pair were a lighter fabic, wore them out. Second pair, heavier fabric, touch screen tips, very handy.

Dunno about merino, or any wool... itching and that...

And, if you buy a large size, they are great to pull over your regular gloves if you get caught in the rain.
I use the ones from Harbor Freight.

Can anyone recommend a good heated under glove, or a heated glove itself, but not one powered by the bike battery. I intend to use them for winter when using the snowblower, which does not have a battery. Cheers.

NICE !!!!!

Hey bush my snowblower has heated grips and no battery.

Merino doesn't itch. It has magic qualities. All of my underclothes are merino all year, motorcycles or no.

Hey bush my snowblower has heated grips and no battery.

Your machine probably isn't 20+ years old. That's not something I can retro fit.

I've considered the possibility of mounting my Yuasa bike battery onto the snowblower for the power source, but I fear the vibration will kill it for good in short order. Hence the need for dry cell battery powered gloves, which are out there, but many get poor reviews, so I'm looking for feedback from those that may have come across a good brand.

I think I'll start a new thread for this.

EDIT: New thread thought abandoned, since I found a link in another thread to this company. Canadian too, eh!
