Advice & Guides If you don't ride in the cold all the time then spending a lot on winter gloves makes little sense. These budget options will help for occasional chilly rides

Customers generally appreciate these gloves for their warmth and comfort in cold conditions, often noting their effectiveness in keeping hands dry during lighter showers. Although some customers experienced issues with waterproofing in prolonged rain, many found them to be a worthwhile investment for winter riding. A few noted some difficulty in fitting initially due to padding, but this often improved with use. A common sentiment is that these gloves offer good value and quality, with several recommending them despite minor flaws.
The gloves are good waterproof and comfy and they feel quite substantial without being clumsy.
But the best thing of all is buying from Sportsbikeshop, it's better than going to a shop and their bargains are good value.
I don't go anywhere else now.
Good warm gloves, have had to return once before as the connections didn't work after a few months but SBS honoured the warranty and they were replaced at no cost to myself. Definitely better than gloves without a heated element and much simpler than having to wire a set of gloves into the jacket or bike. Would recommend both the gloves and SBS.,
These are very good gloves, quality made and so far warm. Sizing is spot on. They do need to wear in a bit as quite stiff to start with, but doesn't take long. Think they will be very comfortable with a bit more use. Also a great price and usual great service from Sportsbikeshop.
Favourite glove of my son, will be his fourth over last 8 years. He is so happy they are still on the go. He says "why change a winner", and of course I got some thanks too....
Quite padded for warmth, a winter glove for sure. I’m using with glove liners, for the longer trips. Time will tell how they’ll last as don’t seem as robust as the FrkThms they’ve replaced which lasted absolutely ages.
For the money I think these gloves are brilliant! Sizing was bang on . Been using them everyday since they arrived, very warm & for three days on the trot it poured it down on the way to & from work , 100% waterproof. Well made & good quality. I like the visor wiper it works really well. I have a lot more movement in them compared with my heated gloves .
Speedy delivery . Very happy !!
Have had this style for over 5 years and wore them out so went looking for exactly the same make and style. What a fantastic turn up for the books when Richa have not messed around with the style and so quickly snapped these up.
Must give a shout out to the Bristol store staff who are so helpful and to sportsbikeshop for getting it right by allowing you to order online then try on in store
Keep up the great work
I managed to get these just in time for a 6 hour round trip a few weeks ago and some not so lovely autumn rain. Guys in the new Birmingham store where on hand to give me some valuable advice on the right choice to suit my needs....perfect product and at a great price. Cheers
Bought these as my winter gloves when i started riding. For the price they are brilliant. Upgraded recently to some gore-tex ones but cannot bring myself to get rid of these incase i need them again.. well worth the price for first winter gloves. Thick but get used to it
Better than my old gloves but they weren't proper winter gloves. Reasonable warmth, cuff a little narrow. Seems wellade but time will tell. Not worn in rain yet so don't know how they will fare.
For about £50 this is a great glove, it's comfortable for long rides, a good fit, and allows dexterity still when fitted. They do waterlog in extended downpours and take an age to dry but other than that they're a fine choice. I recently tried the Arctic and found, for double the price, minimal improvement over the carbon so would recommend a couple of sets of these for the same money.
Very comfortable and good finger fits. Some gloves that fit my palms/knuckles have stupidly long fingers like alien hands. These have good finger length. Like these on mild winter days. Quite thick feeling gloves but still allow full feeling of controls. I wear these for warmth not used in anything more than light rain showers where they did stay dry.
Not amazing, but they do the trick in very cold weather. Little sceptical about the crash protection they offer though
These gloves lasted me a couple of years. They were great, very warm and totally dry.
The waterproofing has gone now, sadly.
These are pretty decent for the money. I find anything less than temps of 3 degrees and you have had enough riding after about an hour and an half with these gloves. I don't have heated grips. Good fit. Tried liners to see if any improvement but there wasn't any.
The Richa Carbon Winter are durable weatherproof gloves. Aramid fibre reinforced fingers enhance the practicality whilst not compromising on styling. Reinforced palm, suede visor wiper and comfort thermal lining enhance this gloves versatility.
