What are your favorite gloves for Boondocking?

Wow, I asked and you guys sure delivered!

Now I have a few more ideas to try. Fox Thermal Paws, huh?

Now I need to find a waterproof breathable bag for under the hood to keep my wet gloves in to dry them so I can use them again later in the day once they're dry. I thought I saw a post talking about Western Power Sports having some such bag? Does anyone have a link?

Now, I have been on this forum for years as Powder Blue. Once the forum changed I had to log in and couldn't find my password so I created a new name (the same name I have on Totally Yamaha) "Frostbite" and now I'm a Junior member. Is there a way to get credit for my time as Powder Blue and be a senior member again?

Thanks for all the help and merry Christmas!

Fox thermal paws, wore holes in the palm in one month. HMK's wore holes in one season.Coldwave,RIZER three seasons to wear a hole in palm. KLIM gloves, one ride and am happy so far! TNA's draw cord on cuff pulled out but when were wet the finger liners would pull out then were very hard to get fingers back in!:rolleyes:
 
Wow hood, you sound like the consumer report's of snowmobile gloves!

How old were the TNA gloves you tried? From what I have read I believe they have improved their design over the last few seasons.

Which Klim gloves are you using?

I use these.

Yeah, I know, Poo stuff, but these actually work. Hands stay warm to -25F (with hand warmers, of course), waterproof and the liner is sewn inthe fingers so they don't invert when taking them off. No snow cuff makes for cold wrists with coats without elastic cuffs. I usually use enduro gloves by Sinisalo or Acerbis but they are tough to get now. YMMV.
 
TNA's are the storm glove, bought them at Tog. lasy season in Feb. Would have to unpack the gearbag to tell which Klim's I have. Bought them at Novi snoshow for $50 in Nov. from Klim booth.BTW I definatly prefer an over the cuff glove cause I do alot of digging.
 
I gotta say the TNA Powder Storm Glove for those deep powder days. The cuffs go over your coat and easy sinch up tight so no snow gets in the glove or up your sleeve when diggin' out. Just make sure to get as much snow off of the glove before you start riding, it stops ice from building up on the glove (even with the ice, your hands still stay warm).

I have a really nice pair of Klim's that they don't even make any more, but are really similar to the Powerxcross gloves. Very nice, but keep your hand warmers off most (almost all) of the time so the Gore-Tex can work properly to keep your hands dry.

The Klim Inversions are Gore Windstopper and not water proof Gore-Tex. There is a differance.
 
This is the best thread EVER!

Good job Frostbite.

I bought Klim klimate gloves this year and stary warm and dry but they are too bulky. My hands actually got fatigued because of the extra bulk. Now I'm going to buy a pair of these TNA gloves eveyone seems to like for most days and save the Klim's in the pack for the extra cold days.

GOOD THREAD ! ! :D
 
I'll try to answer your question regarding Ironclad gloves (although I have not worn a pair, yet). Based on my research; I would say the Cold Condition Tundra ($69.99 retail) would be a great one. It has a three layer Gortex insert for total waterproofness (is that a word)?

The other one from Ironclad I am considering is the Cold Condition Waterproof. It's just over 1/2 of the price ($39.99 retail) of the Tundras but totally waterproof and touted for areas where high dexterity in cold weather is needed.

I think I'll get a pair of both.

Frostbite, I think you got it figured out! Good choice, I own the Tundra and agree that the Cold Condition Waterproof would be an excellent 2nd pair to keep with you as you enjoy the varying conditions...I will probably be adding those to my Tundras as a 2nd pair also.
 
We picked up a few pairs of 'Youngtown' Winter Plus last year.. turned out to be our fav's. Leather palms and fingers, and close to waterproof...Everything I have get's soaked eventually. They're advertised as Waterproof, windproof, yada yada.

We've got moto fox gloves I love, some RU Outsides that are ok (a bit bulky but warm) and lots of real thin ones for playing. It's the ride in that always kills me, with or w/o hand warmers. Just got bad circulation I guess.

Thanks Snowsoul, I'm confused about something. The $69.99 cold condition tundra's can be had for $30 plus $4.00 shipping in several different places on E bay.

The Cold condition Waterproof gloves that retail for $39.99 sell for $34.99 on most places I have seen. I did get one guy to drop his price to $30.00 but I'm thinking why would I pay $30.00 for a $39.99 pair of gloves when I can buy another pair of the $69.99 gloves for the same $30.00 price?

My Tundras arrived today. Tomorrow they will get their first crack at impressing me. I'll keep you posted.

I bought the Moose Monarch Pass gloves, just got them and haven't used them yet.

These any good? I don't see anyone besides one guy using them...:face-icon-small-con
 
I have been wearing the castle x race gloves for the last two years. I really like the fit and the moto x feel. They do get wet but dry out fast. They're relatively cheap too. Twenty something a pair.
 
I bring 3 pairs a heavy pair for thr cold ride up in the morning and have a pair of light weight reima's for when its moderatly chilly.When boondocking and being fairly aggressive I like my thin MX style gloves with the heaters on as you have full controll of your bars otherwise with thick gloves you loose feel and can;t hang on as well
 
NOT the sonics

I bought the sonics last year - got them in the mail...tried them on...never rode with them. Simply too thick for great control...I still love my mechanics gloves. Also have a pair of thin waterproof ski-doo gloves that I wear when really cold out or once my mechanix gloves are too wet.
