Cold/wet weather hand protection

[DE OPPRESSO LIBER]

Looks like others I've seen but perhaps a little less bulky or perhaps may be more user friendly?? I know Cota95 has a similar setup and others have talked about the issues with hitting the controls if you didn't have handguards, but wondering if these might be any better? I have handguards, so doesn't matter to me. Found these on a search for some handguards for the KLX.

Those look a lot like HippoHands <clicky>.

No, I don't have 'em but I'm pretty sure there are guys here who do.

These are what I'm going to get through cold wet weather with when riding the bike.

I bought these last year. They are a little bulky, but I really do like them. Very soft leather and didn't need and break-in. One thing I noticed, they are so warm that sometimes my hands will sweat in them and then they will get a little cool from the moisture. I was thinking about getting some silk glove liners to help with that.

Boy, Mizz Bustanut would sure be VERY unhappy if she knew you were referring to her in this tone!!! I'm disappointed, Barry. Very disappointed. :acute:

Those gauntlets look pretty good. Since I'm a cheap frugal bastard, I bought QuadBoss Gauntlets from a local dealer for $25 on sale. With some minor mods they work OK.

Providing the guantlet has a large enough opening for controls, most any will do the job.

I've used a similar style on my old FJ and also currently on my KLR. It is the only bike I run in the winter. They work very well with a set of heated grips.

Well, that explains those goofy-looking ears hanging off that ugly mug of yours.

Thanks, Bust! It all makes sense now!

Now run along and play. The adults are having a conversation.

There, there Bust Baby; so sorry that those two evil meanies hurt your delicate feelings. Just cuddle Fluffy, your pet attack skunk, and you will feel a whole lot better!!!
