Top Ten Budget Motorcycle Winter Gloves under £100

When it comes to year-round kit gloves are possibly the most important part. They keep your fingers and general hand area protected, er, obviously.

Ever had those deep freeze moments where your fingers seemingly refuse to behave? Not that you could feel them if they did! Just writing that brings back horrid memories of long, early morning and very painful motorway journeys in February.

It’s a tricky thing for manufacturers to perfect, given that they have to walk a thin line between physical protections, protection from the elements while also allowing enough freedom of movement to do the whole motorbike control part.

There are some lovely heated gloves on the market, but they also usually come with a prohibitive price tag. The same goes for the more Gucci level of non-heated winter gloves, too. Fret not, there are still plenty of very decent gloves out there which won’t break the bank:

Racer Tour Winter

Price: £79.99 | Available: www.bikerheadz.co.uk

The Racer Tour winter edition comes with some interesting letters after its moniker – FHH, which translates to ‘For Heated Handlebars’. It means they’ve been designed with heated grips in mind. The palm has a membrane underneath the outer, rather than a membrane with full insulating garb. Instead sits on the top and sides of the glove/fingers.

It’s not hugely different to what a lot of manufacturers are currently doing with winter gloves, because the palm and underside of fingers can’t be too thick. It’d be interesting to see how far this philosophy has been taken, so we’ll try and get hold of a set.

This pair are waterproof, breathable and windproof. They feature knuckle protection, have a ‘touch-screen’ finger and are a very interesting pair of gloves to kick things off with. Available in sizes small to 3XL. Browse the Racer Tour Winter gloves here.

RST Paragon WP

Price: £59.99 | Available: www.rst-moto.com

We must add quickly, there is a heated Paragon glove too at £189.99, but that’s too pricey for our countdown so we’re sticking with the waterproof pair.

They have an internal Hipora lining with is both waterproof and breathable within the full-grain cow hide fashioned outer, with a double-layer reinforcement on the palm.

The fingers are pre-curved with smart-touch digital leather, reflective logos and a visor-wiping strip on both hands. Available in sizes extra small to 2XL, and like the rest of the RST Paragon line, there’s a lot of glove here for very little outlay. Get your hands on them here.
