Five of the best thermal motorcycle gloves under £60

These popular winter gloves provide protection in all key areas. There’s soft knuckle and scaphoid coverage, padding on the side of the cuff to protect the bony part of the wrist and carbon-reinforced fingers for added durability. A suede visor wipe makes cleaning rain off your visor easier. Sportsbikeshop customers highly rate these gloves, and gave them an average of 4.6 stars from the first 493 reviews, with many customers commenting favourably on the insulating properties.

These are on the short side for winter gloves, but they're well regarded for their capabilities in poor weather - and the fact they come at a decent price. They combine a textile backhand with a goathide palm and Oxford's own Dry2Dry waterproof membrane acts as the rain barrier. Owners call them excellent all-weather, waterproof gloves that deliver strong warmth, good comfort and solid build quality for a very reasonable price. They’re especially popular for autumn and winter riding, with good tactile feel and general everyday performance. Review advice, and our returns data, suggests sizing up is likely to be a sensible choice.

These classically-styled gloves are made from a mix of leather and textile, include an internal waterproof membrane and have a thermal liner to keep out the worst of the weather. Both apparently work well as customers say these fit well and keep hands warm in temperatures of 8-10°C. They appreciate the quality, comfort, and the inclusion of a visor wipe. However, some found waterproofing to be limited and complained about the lining pulling out of the glove. After the first 121 reviews were posted, the 9904 gloves scored an average rating of 4.6. The Richa Ladies 9904 Waterproof gloves are our highest-rated sub-£60 gloves for women.

These winter gloves from ARMR impressed the testers at RiDE magazine, who gave them a coveted Best Buy award. Owner review feedback isn't quite as strong, with expectations possibly elevated by that magazine award. Owners, though, generally see these as strong budget gloves that keep hands dry and delivers great value. Some say they're bulkier and others find them less warm at extreme cold, but most owners feel they deliver better performance than the price would suggest.

The claw-like configuration has been a popular biking staple for many years, grouping fingers in two pairs to reduce exposure to cold air and reduce the amount of heat that radiates away. Oxford’s version combines nylon and leather for the outer, with their own Dry2Dry waterproof membrane protecting a Primaloft insulation liner. Customers appreciate the gloves for warmth, comfort, and quality. However, some users find the inevitable restriction on finger movement problematic. The three-finger configuration won’t suit every rider, but customers rate them highly for cold weather riding, giving an average of 4.7 from the first 29 reviews.
