Held Nordpol Glove - Black

Great pair of winter gloves

Very warm & comfortable gloves, Not tried in wet weather yet

Held Nordpol

Hi. These gloves proved to be warm enough for an hour ride in 5 degrees including a 20 min higher speed journey on the motorway. According to some suggestions, riding at 60 mph in 6 degrees feels like minus 16. After an hour my hands started to feel the cold a little with the thumb a little colder as it is a little more exposed not being coupled to another finger. It does not take a rocket scientist to realise they are a little less tactile than a summer glove, but if that is a concern for you, you would not even be looking at this glove. I do not have heated grips. It was dry but I have no concerns about the waterproof claim, held are tried, tested and proven to be a premium manufacturer. They work for me and would recommend them.

Very good - warm and dry

I do a 36 mile round commute in London 365 days a year. Throughout December, my hands were really getting cold in my other pair of winter gloves, and I was recommended a pair of 'Lobster' gloves as the best way to keep my hands warm. I don't have heated gloves on my bike as I'm looking to upgrade it soon, so all I have is these gloves and so far they've done a really good job. On very cold days my hands still do struggle, but not as much as they did with my other gloves, and I think without heated grind/hand guards any glove would allow your hands to be cold in zero degree weather. These gloves also keep your hands dry in heavy rain.

Ride like a Lobster!

Never cracked the warm hands whilst winter riding and never gone for heated gloves / heated inners as don't want the cable hassle running down my sleeves etc. Bought these and used them at +1 for a 2 hour ride and I have to say I am massively impressed. My mates took the mickey at "Lobster Hands" but when we stopped I was the only one not complaining about no feeling in their hands. 2nd outing I went for a thin pair of touchscreen inner gloves underneath them so when I stop and remove the Helds I can easily check phone / satnav etc without getting too cold. Truly impressive and well made. Hoping they will last a couple of winters - will have to see.

Good gloves

Comfortable, clutch and break use no problem with 2 fingers. Be careful with sizing. Buy minimum one size bigger than suggested by the website. Customer service and delivery are excellent.

Great winter glove

I've used these over the last month in combination with heated grips and my hands have been toasty. Insulation on the palms is thinner so they work really well with the grips. Not had to use them in rain yet but they're great in the cold and the only non-heated type I've had which work at this price. The only thing that lets them down is the wrist closure which is a bit fiddly with the gloves on. Fit is fine though and they take no time at all to get used to.

They work!

I was waiting for some really wet weather before reviewing and can now confirm they are waterproof and stop your hands from getting frozen. I commute all year round and these will be great for the rest of the winter. My Versys does have handguards which helps reduce windchill anyway so can't say what it's like without them. Like other reviews have mentioned they feel weird at first but you get used to it and yes the visor wiper is naff but I didn't buy them for that. Great value for money.

toasty

Good cold weather gloves, not had a chance to check their water proofing. Warmth wise I suspect roads would be to dangerous before your fingers get cold. used these throughout December 2019 with toasty fingers. of course they take some getting used to, but thats a sacrifice for warmth.

Decent

Very warm and waterproof. Strange feeling to start with(Paul C). Not perfect but a decent buy. You can't make the rude gesture to show your unhappy with the drivers on their phone, so they keep you out of trouble :)

Strange feeling to start with

Strange feeling to start with with the split fingers but once I got used to it they performed well. Thumbs were still v cold but fingers much better. As someone who likes to wear my gloves under my Rukka cuffs I find these cumbersome to get on with the split fingers and bulky padding round the wrist. Not worn in the wet yet but reckon I'll have to keep looking for that perfect glove.
