    Biker's overmitts: recommendations please.

    Mr C's trusty old Belstaff waxed cotton overmitts have finally given up the ghost, so I said that I'd find and buy some for him ('cos I'm like that...)

    WTF has happened to Belstaff???!!!????

    They've gone all trendy, non-biker and expensive!!!!

    So I'm a bit stuffed now, I haven't come up with an equivalent, so - any ideas?

          AFAIK they don't make those anymore. I use Hein gericke gloves. i'm in London so never experience the need for more - But I'm back after a few years so not up on all the kit thats out nowadays

            what kind of bike has he got? cos if he gets cold hands then the muffs that fix to the bars are best at keeping your hands warm...especially combined with heated grips

                I use Hippo Hands. They ruin the styling of the bike but boy do they keep your hands warm in winter.

                  Is he the type that is happy to have those all covering hand things that the despatch riders wear or is he a tad more style concious than that and just wants some good over gloves??
