HOW MANY MOTORCYCLE GLOVES DO YOU OWN?
Can a motorcyclist own too many pairs of riding gloves? If you are an avid rider, you may already have a collection of them that you consult when you start your engine.
Perhaps you have riding gloves for hot weather, another pair for cool weather, and different gloves altogether for when it’s raining.  You might even have “rain covers” for your gloves, which can offer more wet-weather protection than “waterproof” motorcycle gloves.  (I’ve owned many pairs of waterproof motorcycle gloves over the years and I …

MORE AND MORE AND MORE MOTORBIKE GLOVES
I’m guilty.
I have too many MOTORCYCLE GLOVES.
In that regard, I’m comparable to some women and their proclivity for more shoes.
And if someone were to buy me another pair of motorcycle gloves as a gift, I would likely be appreciative.
However, in my opinion, a good selection of MOTORCYCLE GLOVES are more practical than many shoes – but I imagine I could find a person or so who might be argue that point.
PRIMARY CONDUIT TO MOTORBIKE CONTROLS
Regardless, motorcycle gloves are the conduit for the primary control …

ELECTRICALLY HEATED APPAREL AIN’T FOR ALL MOTORCYCLE RIDERS
There are a lot of advantages to HEATED MOTORCYCLE APPAREL. But they ain’t for everyone.
Sure, they are the easiest way to extend your riding in cold weather.
Yeah, they can make riding long distances in marginal weather considerably more enjoyable.

And, if you have ever tried any kind of electric vests, liners, gloves, chaps, etc., for motorcycle riders, then you probably swear by them, too.
For whatever reason, I was very slow to adopt the concept, even though they’ve been around for decades.
I didn’t even figure …

HERE’S A BAD GIFT THAT IS SURE TO PROVOKE CONTROVERSY
To state the obvious, FINGERLESS MOTORCYCLE GLOVES do NOT protect your fingers.
OK. I said it.
And yet, fingerless gloves are very fashionable biker apparel, particularly for warm weather.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I wore them for years (when I was a bit younger).
In fact, even back then, at least I would never ride without some kind of gloves.
Fingerless gloves are just so darn comfortable in the summer:

They’re light
They allow air to freely circulate, keeping your hands cooler
Many fingerless gloves provide padding …

WHICH IS BETTER – HEATED MOTORCYCLE GLOVES OR HEATED GRIPS?
Jeez, heated motorcycle grips do make crisp morning rides, or cool evening rides, all the more enjoyable.  You can also use thinner gloves for the same cool-temperature riding conditions than you might use if you did not have heated grips.  Some riders prefer thinner gloves to thicker gloves since they can deliver a more sensitive tactile connection to their bike’s controls.
Some motorcycle manufacturers offer HEATED GRIPS as an option on certain bikes, and for a few bikes they are even available …
