Advice & Guides Gore-Tex not keeping out water? There's a different procedure to getting it sorted, and here's an explainer...

Customers appreciate these gloves for their waterproof properties, comfort, and good value. Many note they provide a good feel for controls and are effective when used with heated grips. While most find them warm and well-constructed, some mention the gloves struggle in extreme cold. Fit seems accurate but some customers recommend sizing up if borderline. Minor issues include velcro wrist straps and cuff fit. Overall, they are commended for their quality and performance.
Chose Large size and a excellent glove when I put it on for the first time the fit is perfect. They feel lovely and warm due to the Thinsalate lining.I went for a 4hour ride in the rain and due to the Goretex Membrane they did not let in any moisture my hands were perfectly dry.
Bought these for the winter.
So far they’re warm enough, however I find them still - hopefully they loosen up with time.
I bought size ‘XL’ which are a snug fit, where usually I’d be ‘L’.
bought these as I was expecting to ride though the winter and in the rain. First weekend out through storm Amy and my hands stayed completely dry. Hands were warm enough but the temps were still pretty high. I have bought some liner gloves but not felt the need to put them on yet. Can’t use a touchscreen phone with them which has been a bit frustrating but other than that. Impressed.
These are the first pair of gloves I’ve ever had that actually work. They are 100% waterproof and keep your hands warm . Excellent gloves .
Having always used muffs and heated grips for year round commuting in the SE of England. I bought these gloves as I don't commute anymore but needed something waterproof and warm because I live in Wales now. Wow! Comfy from the start, good feel for a winter glove, although as new, the palm doesn't feel very grippy. I'm sure that'll bed in in time. Good fit over my waterproofs, yet adjustable enough to fit inside my jacket sleeve if needed, but that's not my style. The warm lining doesn't pull out when removing your hands, and they don't soak up the water either, they just shed it. I'm very impressed with the quality and feel, and there's no wind chill feel at all. Worn in warm rain as well as cold rain and there's a feel of reassurance with them. These are not cheap, but the quality is the best. And yes, in a few years from now, if I need new gloves, I'd buy the same.
I wanted a pair of Goretex gloves after my last pair gave up after 8 years of constant use. These gloves are well made fitted my hands well and are not too bulky. I suffer with arthritis in my hands so need a warmer glove even in the usual British summer and these are just right. I will probably need the heated grips in winter and spring but overall I’m very pleased. Usual expected performance from a Goretex product, fully waterproof even after a 250 mile ride in mostly heavy rain, I’ve tried various waterproof product over the years and found Goretex to be far the best, consistently out performing other membranes in waterproofing and longevity. The fit and finish is very good, a good choice for spring and autumn rides, but you will need heated grips in the depth of winter. I purchased these as an addition for touring for cooler and rainier days. As usual, the service and shopping experience is superb
Extremely accurate description of the gloves here at the SBS website and size fits perfectly and they are warm, work well with heated grips as some of the other thicker gloves don't work so well with heated grips so wanted to mention it. The inner membrane doesn't pull out with your hand, the cuffs go under any jacket easily and the overall fit and finish is absolutely perfect. Some of the other leather gloves hurt your hand when you ride for long hours and these ones keep you hand comfy at all times, I have ridden for 5 hours straight without any issues. Highly recommended
Warm enough for short rides in colder weather. Decent quality, fit and comfort.
Excellent gloves. Really comfortable. They feel warm and snug, as soon as you put them on! They are waterproof and really well worth the money. Great dispatch and delivery by SportsBikeShop. Well recommended!
A great fitting glove and warm down to 8° at least, rode through rain and hands bone dry.
The glove take a bit of breaking in but are comfortable from the off and fit under the sleeves of my jacket.
Wanted some gortex gloves for the wet and colder days on the bike, and the reviews on these were generally good. I have been out in them on a cold day 2 degrees C, but the wind chill would have taken the temperature lower. They did keep my hands and fingers warm for 20 mins and then switched the heated grips onto 50% and found this was a perfect combination. Size was spot on for me measured as medium and they were snug but are loosening up nicely. Seem good value for money as I got them in the sale. Seem very well made and of good quality. So far I am happy with them just need to test fully in the rain.
Massive improvement on my last very budget winter gloves.
Very warm, good fitting and the internal lining stays in place.
Excellent quality and value at this price point.
The sizing chart said I was a large, so I got these, but after purchasing I think I am probably in between an M and L size. I have a little room in these but the M could have been a bit tight. The good thing is that I can fit a pair of small running gloves on also to aid warmth. Definitely Waterproof, and warm to a point, not too bulky or thick. I do feel the cold in my fingers, I wore in 5-6 ish degrees with heated grips and my hands were fine, much lower and I'll be adding those gloves. I found the leather outer flap, which overlaps the cuff annoying to fit under my jacket so trimmed this down, other than that all good for the price.
Waterproof yet light and with feeling for switchgear and gps. Has run blade on index finger to clear visor. This is my second pair as I wore out the first. Great glove, great value
Definitely waterproof, definitely not ice polar. Good to about 4 degrees, fingers dropping off after 7 miles at that. I ride daily year round and I've yet to find a good set of winter gloves, thank god for heated grips!
Bought the very same gloves 3 years ago but a recent slide on gravel wrote one of the gloves off, Had no hesitation in ordering the same again, Warm and totally waterproof,. Top marks to the SBS team as usual excellent service.
Great gloves, warm but loads of feel. Not used in run yet but so far so good. Definitely recommend.
Seem warm and still have good feel of controls.
