Thinsulate thermal waterproof gloves review

Thinsulate thermal waterproof gloves review

As bikers we all have different budgets and needs when it comes to gear, so what’s on the market if you have a very limited budget but want to stay warm and dry?

LDmotorcyles sent us some Thinsulate thermal leather gloves to try out and we put them through their paces. If they can handle hot pizza they can keep the cold out, right? Maybe...

The gloves have a nice soft lining and offer a comfortable fit after following their size guide, they aren’t too bulky either. The Thinsulate lining does its job and hands are kept toasty warm, the rain has stayed away whilst we’ve had these gloves but we’re told the waterproof lining does its job too (we will update you on this). The supple leather feels like it could be a bit thicker from a protection point of view.

For us they lack a lot of protection, but that could be down to what we ride and the miles we do. There isn’t any knuckle or finger protection, and the leather feels a bit thin on the palms. In the event of a slide we’re not wholly convinced how they would perform, but we’ve got to take into account the price here. These gloves are available for £13.99, a bargain? They will definitely keep your hands warm and will offer some protection. These will be better than wearing no gloves at all, thats for sure.

Whilst these gloves may not appeal to sports bike riders or anyone racking up the motorway miles they would be good for someone on a small CC bike who is nipping around town. It is worth noting LDmotorcycles do offer a thermal glove with protection for £24.99, another bargain we think...

Here is a closer look at the glove, with some comparisons to the other end of the market.
