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
Richa Rock Gloves - Black Second pair i've purchased. Perfect fit.
Richa Stradale Stealth Leather Gloves - Black / White / Red Comfortable and stylish
RST Freestyle 2 CE Leather Gloves - Black Very comfortable, no breaking in needed, true to size
Alpinestars SMX-2 Air Carbon V2 Leather Gloves - Black I have used this glove for both summer and winter adv/dirt riding. Easy to clean and offers good protection and comfort. Not great in the cold (but what glove is). Velcro seems to not attached great after some use so do have to fiddle and retighten at traffic lights a lot.
