What gloves would you guys recommend. Especially for cold water riding. Links are appreciated.

My personal favorite would have to be Giro, they lasted me only about half a season but they never came undone and were very warm compared to my current fly racing gloves. I'll be getting a few more pairs for next season, that's for sure.

We like the Fly 907. Neoprene full coverage construction for warmth. Only $26

Do you have a sizing chart for the FLY 907? How true do the sizes run. I have smaller hands so im thinking a small.

I just use a pair of 2mm neoprene gloves. Nothing fancy at all. Just keeps them warmish.

2mm neo surf gloves are good for winter... Moto gloves (Fox / Troy Lee) is what I ride in during the summer.

 

[Tyrant1919]

actually I have 1.5mm. I wass worried that the gloves would be too bulky.

I was using some Jet Pilot gloves I think...
Install hand warmers though! Stay warmer, use thinner gloves, have better control, and look cool!

x2! Wear your normal gloves and add hand warmers. Thick gloves give you fierce arm pump.

Which hand warmers? I remember trying some last winter and they didnt work for .. i dont remember why though

You re-route your pissers up to the handlebars so they spray warm water on your hands. It's a cold weather mod.

I have size charts in catalogs, but they require you to physically put your hand on the size chart. I will say this, most gloves have a tendency to shrink with repetitive use in water so I typically recommend people to go a size bigger with their gloves, especially on the smaller side (smalls and mediums). With that being said, the Fly 907 is a quality glove and runs rather true to size, similar to most other gloves. PM or email me and I can ship with $5 flat rate shipping.

Thanks!

One of the guys in our group does that in the spring and fall. Hes got about 3 feet of 3/8 hose sticking out of the dash and stuffs it in the neck of his wetsuit for the ride back to the ramp at the end of the day.

ha, i bought a $5 pair of mechanic gloves... really sticky grip, great mobility, and hands didn't get cold... Check out Orileys or napa...

 

[crazy4sand]

i just use hand warmers so i can get the best grip on my bars so this dont happen anymore

I spent a little bit more than ususal last season and got the Carbon knuckle fox moto gloves.
They made it through the whole season this year and are gonna be making into next year also.
Dont waste your $$$ on cheap gloves that will only last you a few trips to the water.

Our buddy mark did that as well. The ski Sucked up something ran Hott and left a scar on his back that's pretty gnar. So tell him to be careful.
