Anyone try them blue gloves under their others, as extra windproofing.?
Going on a 250 mile ride tomorrow, leaving while it's probably around 40 degrees.
Figure they may actually help.

I would go silk.

Your hands will look like winkled prunes when you remove the gloves.

I mean them blue ones.. . Just need to make sure I can ride till it gets to like 50 degrees..be good rest of day. If I wear the blue gloves while wrenching for 2-3 hrs my hands don't wrinkle up.

seems like a good plan to me Frank. I've thought about it when temps get into the mid 20s...Larry

I would use a glove liner then the nitrile glove. My hands sweat in them and that just destroys your ability to stay warm.
Have a good ride.

Its only weird if it doesn't work.

nitrile doesn't breathe. You hands will sweat and eventually your skin will go pruny, then creepy waxy, then necrotic

[...] then necrotic

... and then you won't feel the cold in your hands any more, or any other pain. so eventually it works as desired, right?

Divers or jetski gloves.

I carry a half dozen in extra large and use them as emergency rain skins.
Everyone's impressed and grateful when I hand them out.

I normally wear an XL or 2XL GLOVE, so I haven't found any that were larger. I can sometimes work a pairover a lightweight mechanics glove but not over a pair of armored motorcycle gloves.

For the cold I use what the skiers use, silk liners under there gloves.

35 years ago, when my ex still liked me, she gave me pair of winter riding gloves.(best gift ever from her, except for the divorce) I still use them and change to light weight gloves when it warms. I have some electric gloves form Gerbing, but the old ones are what I use the most.
The nitrile gloves may be a good idea and fit under the seat.

Maybe try these?

For $10.00 you can't go too far wrong.

40 deg? You wimp. I crack out my winter gloves when it dips below 30.

As for the nitrile, I think your hands would prune up. If only because you also have gloves over them and they would get much hotter than normal. I also don't think they'd do much to cut wind, too thin for that. My winter riding gloves are 2 part - leather outer and fleece liner.

Of course I find that electric grips are really the only good option in very cold - sub 20 weather.

Have you ever considered using them "Hot Hands" packets or something to act as pseudo-heated grips?

Damn, MOMO, I haven't seen that album since I smoked in the 70's. Gilded cage, indeed.

I found nitrile gloves did nothing for me, riding in below 10C with just my standard gloves.

Last week I bought a pair of winter riding gloves... leather/suede/GoreTex outside (plus armor) and fleece lined inside. Long cuff goes over jacket, etc...

BEST investment I've made so far this year. No more frozen fingers!

754 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 05, 2015, 08:27:50 AM »

I would say they made quite a difference. I think it was around 5C when we left, and 1-1/4 hrs later it was around 11C . We rode the whole time.. And it was still pretty comfy.
I have my snowmobile mitts, but they are hard to ride in...not finger gloves...

Before I found my winter moto gloves for a good price, I was going to get a pair of lobster mitts.

I feel like your hands would get really sweaty and pruney

754 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 05, 2015, 11:04:13 AM »

I think the sweaty pruny camp did not read the part about trying it, due to the 40 F temps in the morning... They helped.. No prunesweat..had them off by 11:30 it was warming up then.
