I'm Done With Expensive Winter Motorcycle Gloves After Trying These

- Do more expensive winter motorcycle gloves mean better quality and warmer hands? Not always, I traded my expensive pair for some inexpensive motorcycle gloves from Rock Biker and I was thoroughly impressed! 3M Thinsulate is thin for a better feel on the controls while maintaining warmth of your hands. Touch screen design, superior knuckle protection, water proof and they strap down around your jacket sleeves for a superior fit.

Get your pair here www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y4L8WD2, these are hard to beat!
Have a question about upgrade on 03 ultra
Can I or how would a S&S 124 crate motor work on my 03 ultra. Will it just drop in or any modifications need to be done besides boosting up the clutch. What’s your thoughts?
Are those Kimimoto or Rock Biker gloves? You mention both in your video. The link you provided seems to link to a different pair.
Kemimoto is the parent company/distributor, Rock Biker is the brand of glove.
@@GixxerFoo thanks for the clarification.
"You get what you paid for." With Harley apparel, what you get is the name with almost substandard quality. Great review.
Thank you! Honestly the Harley logo was probably worth $80 of the price.
Lol seems like that with the bikes too my buddies 2020 dyna stay in the shop
@@wreckz9145it’s better to get their old used bikes tbh. Especially evo sportsters mine has never failed me. Their new bikes are ugly and unreliable lol
Over 20 years ago I bought a nice new pair of thick leather gauntlet gloves which were a big disappointment. I switched to my snow ski gloves with the leather palm, nylon exterior and thick thinsulate which were less than half the price of the leather gloves. The ski gloves were designed to grip the ski poles with a natural curve which worked perfectly on my bike's grips. Guess what! I still use the same pair of ski gloves on my bike today and I gave the leather gauntlet gloves away to a friend. You're right, you don't always get what you pay for, sometimes you get a whole lot more.
Ski gloves, that's a good idea honestly! Motorcycle gear is super expensive, just like the parts!
Thanks for the review and info.
I picked up a pair. Game changer. Love these. Thanks for the recommendation.
Glad you like them!
thanks for the great channel your topics are good and informative. Amazing job !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I appreciate your support!
Went to my local Harley dealer looking for gloves. I just couldn't see spending $100 and up just because they have HD (hundred dollar) on them. I went to Academy sports to get some thermals and saw a pair of fleece lined Magellan gloves for $10. I bought the Magellans for shits and giggles. Let me tell you, those are the best investment I've made for keeping my hands warm while riding. No air gets through and they're not overly bulky. Ive still got great dexterity and control for what I need while riding. I love all things Harley, but I'm not spending money needlessly when I don't have to.
Not warm! Bought these gloves after this review, and my hands froze today after a daytime ride on the 880 near SF.
How cold was it
I'm in the UK was gonna buy a pair of Harley boots lace up £120 went to a nearby US Army surplus store got a great pair of boots for £40😊😊
Don´t you loose the protective part by geting a non motorcycle boot?
Finally a glove that allows me to have snowball fights with my buddies while out on a ride and not get my hands all wet and frozen!!😂😂
I used to have some thinsulate winter gloves that would make my hands sweat in really cold winter weather. HE Bailey turnpike worker in sideway winds if you know what I mean. Only feature good gloves seldom cover is dexterity. You can get warm or good feel but not both. I will check them out! Sounds like an awesome set of gloves!
That's what impressed me was the dexterity on the bike and they are warm too! I had the same issue with sweating with these thinsulate gloves too!
Heated hand grips the only way to go. Yea, a few bucks for sure. But, I've found it not only heats my hands, but it heats my body too. I wear non lined gauntlets or riding gloves. If it starts to cool down, I just pop it on and I'm good. Otherwise, those gloves are great for the price. Thanks.
Got some rain seal mitts from Oxford. With them I wear regular gloves works great only 50$ and waterproof
Hi Gix...Great content on everything you post. I have a 2011 streeglide and 08 fatboy...same engine! Lol.. so I really dig everything your sharing. Anyway..bought a set of these gloves for me and one for the wife...these are FANTASTIC.. almost as good as the electric gloves I got from cycle gear but they have a better grip than the electrics and the cost is a tenth of anything else!! Thanks again!!! Keep up the great work!!!
The link shows the gloves but it doesn't show/say anything about Thinsulate. Not even on their website.
Any ideas?
Heated gloves for me. Have a pair of Gerbing's and very happy with them. Keeps your whole hand warm including fingertips!😍 And if not heated they are a good pair of intermediate gloves.
Very nice! I've been looking into heated gear but it's costly, worth the money though!
@@GixxerFoo They are 12 years old, that's about 12 euro a year....😆
That Thinsulate stuff is not a gimmick! I had a pair of really cheap fleece gloves and my ones with a Thinsulate label that were a lot thinner were a lot warmer.
They are some awesome gloves, Thinsulate doesn't look like much but it will make your hands sweat.
@@GixxerFoo Yeah I was reading about it Vs goose down and it beats goose down apparently. I need to do some more reading up.
When you say winter, what were the lowest temps you're talking about? It gets down to 24 at the lowest where I am at would these gloves still hold up?
Getting a pair! Thanks bro!
No problem 👍 They really aren't bad gloves at all, I didn't expect them to out perform my Harley gloves.
I purchased a pair of winter snowmobile gloves. water proof and toasty warm. really liked them riding back from great falls down the 200 to Missoula back home to Washington. it was snowing and wet chunky rain.
Very nice! I think the snowmobile gloves are where it's at, what I liked about these was they had some protection for the street too.
Just ordered a pair, thanks!
I love a deal especially when they work, l think you'll enjoy them!
It’s a snowmobile glove for the most part. My Polaris or FXR snowmobile gloves are way better for staying warm but won’t be good going down. My snowmobile gloves also provide much better feel on your handlebars.
That's what I thought too, they work great for blocking the cold. Being able to feel my grips and the controls was my favorite part!
I've learned so much from your videos so I trust your opinion. These gloves are coming today. I ride 650 miles a week through temps in the high 30's to mid 50s. I'll let you know how they worked for me.
How are they? Update?
@@jrkou7076 They have a lot of nice features mentioned in the video but the cold protection didn't work for me. I keep them as a backup for daily riding but not for distance. But, to be fair, I was riding four and half hours through the high desert in winter. The only thing that worked was battery heated.
I have heated grips and battery-operated gloves. Grips keep one side of my hands warm and the gloves the other but I'm going to buy a pair of these and give them a try.
Really can't go wrong for the price, damn you went all out on your bike! Heated grips and gloves both?!
I commuted for about 80 miles one way for about a year and a half worth of winters at 3am I had to layer like 4 gloves to keep the cold out soooo not comfy lol I’ll have to order a pair of these.
Great review on the gloves Brother, more money isn't always the answer to quality, thanks again Brother 💯
Thank you! I was really surprised how good they are for the money, it gets cold where we are at but nothing like up north!
@@GixxerFoo I'm not sure where you are at but I'm in Missouri and it gets pretty cold here at times, ride safe brother 💯
@@OZARKSHDRIDERS I'm just south of you in Oklahoma, but I have some family in southern Missouri. Love riding bike up to the farm, beautiful country up there.
@@GixxerFoo it is a nice place to live and ride, it seems like we do a lot of riding in Arkansas lol, we love it down there,
I had River Road leather winter riding gloves, they're good down to 50*. I wear the walmart/lowes $15 winter nylon gloves.....no they don't have chin busters, but they are warm.
Funny thing about HD brand gauntlet / winter riding gloves, even with heated hand grips my hands get cold after not too long of a ride. I have several pair of their gloves and they all seem airy and forget about being waterproof... Great review, I'll give the rocks a try.
Really? Even the heated grips don't work all that well either?
@@GixxerFoo Oh no the grips are great, it's the gloves. They let in so much cold air that after awhile my fingers get numb. Which makes me want to try the rock bikers brand
That's exactly why l ride with the Rock Biker gloves, my Harley gloves were like a screen door after 20 miles in the cold.
What is your average winter temp that you're riding in? second for the jacket pulling out of the gauntlet I had that issue, solved it by using the SA company face shields wrapped around my wrist like a sweat band, it takes up the air gap.
That's not a bad idea at all for the jacket! The weather that day was low 30's, nice north wind about 15 to 20. Wind chill was the real story, sitting still it was in the 20's, that didn't account for running down the highway. I'm in Oklahoma so we can have a 5 degree day and the next day it's back in the 70's 😄🤦♂️.
I have to say HD apparel is more about fashion over function anymore. Now I do have some HD leathers made in the USA that are thick, heavy and high quality. But with modern materials and synthetics there are better alternatives for safety gear.
Damn, now GixxerFoo is my premier apparel reviewer! Who'd o' thought? Just ordered a pair. Thanks for the honesty.
Thank you, I appreciate it! They are some awesome gloves and they are really inexpensive, way better than my high dollar pair.
@@GixxerFoo I took these gloves out yesterday in Western Colorado. Air temp 50-60 degrees F. I rode 150 miles on the West Elk Loop, 3rd through 6th gear speeds on a 2020 KTM 1290 Super Duke R. The fit was spot on, I was rained on (about 10 minutes) and my hands remained dry. After a bit, in the coldest area, I turned my heated grips on low and remained comfortable. For the money, incredible.
Interesting video thanks 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for checking it out!
Just ordered a pair.. thank you
They are hard to beat for the price!
Have you tried heated gloves ? Also what temp are you using them at and your hands are getting hot ?
Heated gloves are awesome, I was riding in low to mid 20's out on back highways at 65 to 70 mph. Heated gloves are what I would need when it get down below 20 outside.
I got a hdforums email that I subscribed to, but seldom read. I have a Street Glide, but never ride it, 6 years parked... long story. Anywho, I scrolled thru, and saw a story about timing chains replacing gears, and clicked on the link of your ytube name, and here I yam... thx fer the glove review... BTW, 1 foot blowing snow yest, and -10f the day before, from Plattsburgh NY, near Vermont
Damn that's some weather, we get 6 inches down here in Oklahoma and it's a sh*t show 😄😂. That's awesome were out on the forums now! Glad you followed the link over to the channel!
man I tried every kind of glove outside of heated options, what I found was that professional ski gloves worked the best, they were a company called Spyder and were $200 and I used them with a glove liner and they worked great. Other high cost gloves didnt work. I have low blood pressure due to meds I take so Its harder for me to stay warm in extremeties due to the low blood in my fingers. But if you research you can get some great gloves for winter riding. I used mine down into the teens
That's awesome, my hands are biggest issue in the winter. The ski and snowmobile gloves seem to the best bet outside of heated grips and gloves.
@@GixxerFoo same here
I have installed heated elements in the bars by Demon and they are sweet! Also added a heat element to my seat and the biatch seat keeping my eggs warm and both bums if you have a passenger on the cooler Spring and Fall days in Minnesot.👍🤙👌
Hell yeah you can't beat that electric heat!
Why not just get in your car, I don't get this softies nowadays.
I ordered me a pair... we will see... THANX!!
Not a problem at all! I am really enjoying them, they have worked out really well for me!
Ok I'm sold.... Just ordered a pair. 😎🤟
They are nice pair of gloves for the money!
I have to admit.. I got a pair of similar HD winter gloves out of the clearance bin for like 15 bucks... Coming back from the 100th anniversary in Milwaukee, had to put them on for the first time. Stayed warm and dry (it was hammering rain) as a cat in front of the fire place. I was rather shocked... usually don't get lucky like that. Been out in 15 degree weather, and they never let a wick of cold in. Having said all that.. it's good to have more then one pair.
The Harley gloves? Dang my Harley gloves don't work all that well for me. They pretty well in the 40's but below that my hands are numb after 20 miles or so.
@@GixxerFoo yep, 100% genuine Harley-Davidson. A super fancy too.. that's why I say I'm pretty surprised how great they are and I got them for fifteen bucks!
Their quality must not be nearly as good today!
What are these gloves called? I’m in Australia and I want a pair.
They are sold on Amazon under several different names, but the name of these gloves is Rock Biker.
How bulky are they? I keep getting leather gauntlets but they're either too bulky or don't keep my hands warms.
They are waaaay less bulky than the leather gauntlets, also warmer too. I still have a good feel of the controls that I don't get with my leather gloves.
@@GixxerFoo thanks man, I have them in my cart. Much appreciated
Good review bro, I just bought a set of them in black XL for $18.99!
Thank you! They really are awesome for the money, better than the expensive ones I bought before!
Love your channel,
Question: where are these two pairs of gloves made (country of origin) ?
Thank you! Likely China honestly being sold on Amazon.
@@GixxerFoo thanks for the quick reply. Your channel name raises my curiosity, when was your last Suzuki? My first bike was a Suzuki Bandit 1200. Divorce was finalized July, 2001, bought the Bandit in August 2001.
@@markam306 It's been a while, I had a 2003 GSXR-1000 and I ended up selling it in 2006. Bandit is a fun bike, I really like the upright naked bikes!
@@GixxerFoo i had a blast on the Bandit. In 2004 switched to a FXDWGi and loved every mile !
They need to bring that Wide Glide back!
just ordered mines just now. cold hands have been my enemies for years.
I have really enjoyed them myself, I've put a lot of miles on them this winter!
When the video of how do you clean your bike man!?
We've been in a cold snap here lately, when this weather finally breaks l'll be able to use some water outside.
The proof is in the testing. Hopefully the pair I ordered from China will get here before winters finishes.
On Amazon these gloves received opposing reviews (not wind water or cold proof) complaint hands froze within minutes of riding 🥶
Really? I have a had great luck with mine, even better than my Harley gloves.
I had ordered a pair from this manufacture and they came too small I said I wanted a larger pair this was from Amazon they sent me the same pair so those two I sent back so this time I went with extra large so we’ll see how they fit what I like about these I can determine the size of the gauntlet. The other pair from the same manufacture you could not and they would not fit well over the cuff of my leather jacket I guess we’ll see in a few days now if the road clears and the snow leaves in the ice is gone I will give Them a try out.
🤦♂️ sometimes Amazon sellers are a pain, l am glad they finally got you lined out though. Let me know how they work out when you get to try them out!
@@GixxerFoo
Come on spring 😎🖖🏼
That's what l am talking about!
I bought a pair of Olympia gloves with something called wind-Tex there sales pitch was warmest gloves on the market 80.00 dollars they were not warm I ride at 430 am in Denver,co.37 years ago I bought a pair of Thinsulate short gloves at Wilson leather for 25.00 bucks the warmest gloves I own.then I bought a pair of gauntlet gloves with Thinsulate 25.00 bucks at army surplus just as warm.expensive gloves are a rip off...
I found that out the hard way with my Harley gloves.
Link works but no longer available :S
Branded apparel a rip-off, who'd have thought it? That FortNine fellow has some good gear reviews as well. 🤔
Pretty much anything on Amazon is, FortNine has great videos and reviews!
My problem is with heavy winter gloves the palms are too thick and you can't feel the clutch, brake, and throttle.
That's the issue l was having with my Harley gloves, these $23 Amazon gloves work great with the thinsulate in there.
@@GixxerFoo At that price you can’t go wrong. I will try them.
Thanks for that review.
I get it, you stay warm in snowmobile gloves. What about a crash. Yes, there is that. Hard to beat deer skin gloves with rabbit lining and can get the water proof varity.
these run very small had a pair got them on could not get off used a knife went in trash as far as waterproof they have a thin sheet of plastic in them shed water for a while not all day
Headed grips, done.
No doubt! They work great but they ain't cheap!
My index fingers get cold and any other part of my hand that doesn't make full contact with my heated grips. Gloves are still key when it's below 40 degrees.
purchased by the end of the video ... S0LD
They are some awesome gloves, l get cold easily and they kept my hands warm!
👏👏🙏👊
heated grips!
Inflation. Now they're $28.
When it comes to Harley clothing,u pay for the name, not the quality, all made in China.
Sadly that's a fact.
Ya hands are sweating because they don't breathe. Yuck
Your hands will sweat if the temperature outside isn't cold enough. Lol I can testify that air temperature in the low 20's at 65 mph your hands won't sweat.
If you're going to review a product people want to hear the Positive And the Negative. All you did was sound like a commercial with no negative comment about the glove. Been riding since the 80s and have not found any gloves that are perfect, so I'm sure there are some down side to those cheap gloves. Let's hear them. Don't waste my time with a commercial because they sent you a pair of gloves.
