A good pair of gloves go a long way. - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I rode for about 45 miles today, temperature was about 40 degrees, it was raining and I was doing about 75mph. I started out with the same gloves I always ride with. Within 5 miles my hands were starting to lose feeling, I noticed a Harley dealership that was still open and decided I need to get some better gloves. I bought the Harley Davidson FXRG gloves. I was able to ride the rest of the way home with no problems. I picked this one because it was all leather, had a big cuff to fit over my jacket, it has armored knuckles, and has a gore tex liner. Still need to get some decent pants to ride with though. I wore some Columbia thermals, jeans and rain pants. I stayed dry, but my knees were pretty cold when I got home.

Invest in some heated clothing. I did and I now I'm riding more rain or shine.
