what do you guys ride with for the cold mornings and nights? My A* AMX gloves have a mesh style front and even in early march my hands froze. I think im going to pick up a set of the race gauntlet A* gloves but wanted to see what everyone wears.

In the past I've used leather riding gloves and ski gloves. I got near-frostbite every day. Now I use Gortex gloves. They work really good. When it gets below 40deg, not so good, but those days are rare. :)

Sorry, no help here.... I don't think I have riden in anything below 65 degrees.... Although I did just buy a pair of leather joe rocket gloves and looking forward to trying them out.... I have had a few pair of gloves: joe rocket and alpine stars and so far the joe rocket gloves have been about the best....

if u dont mind a little moding... get some heated gloves that plug into ur wiring harness. bastards get WARM as hell in seconds!! they are a bit pricey (120-140) but WELL worth it vs some reg leather gloves.

ill find out for you. i know they hook right into the BMW touring bikes. my friends cousin has them on his GSXR600 cause he road out to Florence 5 times a week so open desert + winter time = cold as hell and he said those along made it totaly fine to ride into work.

me personally, i sport the under armor w/ the long sleeves and turtle neck and thats better. what SUCKS is i bought a nice leather jacket back in june, but ive lost about 15 lbs.. and now the thing is big on me.. and i dont feel like dropping another $400 for the same jacket, just smaller.

Yea im selling my jacket soon as its too big. I sport the under armor and it helps out SO much. Im looking into some under armor long jons or something to wear under my jeans. Ill have a 1 piece but im not wearing it out on the road unless im going to Tortilla and its cold as balls
