RST Pro Series Paragon 6 Heated CE Gloves - Black These gloves have a small battery pack in each that you charge up. They should then give about 5 hours heat before needing recharging. I found that you have to switch them off AND unplug the glove from the battery as soon as you've finished riding as otherwise there's some sort of current drain which flattens the battery and actually damages the cells. The first pair I had had to have new batteries as they went flat and wouldn't even hold half an hour's charge. Since having them replaced and making sure I unplug each time, they've been fine.
Richa Invader Gore-Tex Gloves - Black Great gloves for Summer riding with good fit and fully waterproof
Oxford Spartan Air Glove - Black / Grey I'm not one of these riders who in hot weather ride in shorts , tshirts and no gloves
I purchased these for my trip around Spain in temperatures over 30 degrees and are still comfortable
Alpinestars Copper Textile Gloves - Black Nice glove for summer use, plenty of air flow through the gloves. Touch screen finger and thumb work well even though the fingers are a bit long.
DXR Poker CE Gloves - Black Great fit if you order a size larger than normal.
Dainese Metrax Air Gloves - Black / Anthracite Really good fit great summer gloves cool hands in the recent hot weather no sweaty hands great ventilation very well made and feel comfortable
DXR TTR Waterproof CE Leather Gloves - Brown I’ve had these for a few years now. They’ve served me well. They are great for milder weather. Not waterproof and certainly not great for warmer/ hot weather. The inner lining of the gloves is loose. This means if your palms get sweaty, they stick and if you take them off for any reason like stopping for fuel or take a phone call, it’s a struggle to wear them back on again.
