Halvarssons Duved Leather Gloves - Black So I needed a new pair of winter waterproof gloves as my pair of winter gloves were no longer waterproof. I did a lot of online research reading articles and watching review videos. I was a impressed that there wasn't a bad review for these gloves and as I ride and commute all year round I needed a warm waterproof glove. I read that the teenage mutant ninja turtle type gloves are better for warmth so I gave in and bought these. I am not disappointed at all. The first time I wore them on the bike was at about 3° and it was dry but the gloves were brand new and still very stiff. I had a lot of trouble getting used to the claw type feeling and because they were so stiff I couldn't do the controls properly, which was frustrating. After this ride I felt disappointed with them but I placed them on the radiator and suppled them up a bit. I did this a couple of times warming them up gently on the radiator and putting them on and moving my fingers and hands like I was on the bike. This worked and the next time I used them it was pouring down a snow type rain. I arrived home with dry warm hands and fingers. These are definitely warm for winter riding and definitely waterproof. So I highly recommend these gloves. The touch screen nobbin thing works well but it's a bit cumbersome. The visor wipe is very good too. They aren't too bulky but you do have to get used to not having all fingers moving independently, so if you buy these give them a bit of time, and before using on your motorbike supple them up a bit so using the bike's controls is easier and safer.
Halvarssons Thiola Textile Gloves - Black My old Richa Arctics had got a bit worn and these looked like a worthy upgrade from the detailed description. I have not had them out in serious single-digit temperatures yet but they perform significantly better than my Knox Covert (which are excellent gloves but more of a two-and-two-half season option). Can be fastened securely under the sleeves of my rather un-ergonomic Alpinestars jacket and keep the wind out of my arms and the slightly less heavy lining on the palms means that I retain good feel of the handlebar controls. This also means that when I put the heated grips on, the warmth gets through to my hands easily. I haven’t tested them with my heated inner gloves yet but I am actually looking forward to a winter of near-zero temperatures with feeling in my digits. Recommended.
Halvarssons Duved Leather Gloves - Black If you’re looking for serious cold-weather gloves that don’t compromise on control or comfort, the Duveds are a top-tier option. They’re ideal for touring, commuting, or any rider who refuses to let winter slow them down.
Highly recommended — especially for those who value Scandinavian engineering and real-world performance.
Halvarssons Butorp Textile Gloves - Black These so far are nice and comfy the fingers aren’t too long the gloves are relatively thin so give good grip and feeling but are still warm. Not worn these in the wet yet so can’t comment on the waterproofing and the one thing missing from these is a visor wipe a strange omission for waterproof gloves. The Velcro while of good quality could of done with a little tab on the ends as it can be hard to pull off when wearing gloves.
Halvarssons Ljusdal Leather Gloves - Black I ordered a medium which was too small that was changed without quibble for a large and arrived on time
Halvarssons Thiola Textile Gloves - Black Really good quality materials, they feel like a good pair of slippers when you pull them on your hands. The wrist strap and velcro fastening are a good quality too. They are a warm slightly thicker palms as they are a waterproof all weather glove.
Halvarssons Butorp Textile Gloves - Black Really nice, flexible comfortable gloves. I was at the higher end of the “large” by measurement and gloves are a snug fit. In hindsight the XL would have been better. Not as warm as I thought they would be but I have started wearing for a few minutes in the house before going out to heat them up and they are good for an hours commute first thing in the morning. With heated grips it’s a different story! The outlast takes the heat from the palm and moves around the whole hand very efficiently! Love them with heated grips anytime, without these are probably autumn spring only rather than winter.
