Halvarssons Noren Leather Gloves - Black My bike (Triumph STR) is buttoned-up for the winter, as yet I haven`t ridden with these gloves, my past experiences give me the confidence,
from the fit and feel they will be as good as I need.
Halvarssons Flon Leather Gloves - Black / Tan Great pair of gloves, thought I'd try another brand I've never worn previously and not disappointed, good construction, lovely gloves. Great dexterity and feel on controls and grips in general, airflow is great, wrist closure takes my manly wrists and fingers aren't weird sized so almost fit well. However.....
The touch screen thing on the pointy finger....what is that about. They've sewn like what I can only describe as a weird nipple like creation out of the excess material on the finger tip. And it doesn't work very well on touch screen either.I didn't think I had any sensory issues until this point but every time you use it.. feels weird and reminds me of the the Ed Gein furniture on that documentary . Then on the left pointy finger you don't have the nipple thing just a saggy tip so no help for the lefties that might walk amongst the normal folk.
Halvarssons Melbyn Back Protector Visited with a view to buy -
Staff assisted fitting it for me as easier with 2 people.
Felt comfortable from the start.
Halvarssons and Lindstrands is always quality stuff.
Halvarssons Duved Leather Gloves - Black Really warm and comfortable gloves for riding. Haven’t had chance to fully test in heavy rain but held off rain in light showers so far
Halvarssons Thiola Textile Gloves - Black I use these in the winter with heated grips and they are just right in terms of warmth. They fit me very well and are true to size. The gloves appear to be well made and look like they should give me years of service. Not yet used in the wet so I cannot comment on how waterproof they are. Very pleased with the quality and price.
Halvarssons Vinvallen Textile Jacket - Black Nothing more to say than it handles it all without effort and makes you focus on your riding.
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.
