I am looking for some feedback.
I am looking for some long cuff Winter Gloves. Winter is NOT my favorite season, and tbh I will not usually ride in the wet. But on longer trips (like to the UK) this is sometimes unavoidable. I will always do distance with Barkbuster BBZ "muffs" fitted - But 5 hours at 140kph in the rain - dampens and chills even so. I will NOT be riding in SNOW or extreme cold. I do not do ice any more.
Over the years (like most of us) I have tried/owned many sets of gloves. I do not like heated grips/gloves, tried them.
These days I find that one marque's offerings fit, well, like gloves. That marque is Halvarssons (Sweden). I was about to splash out on a pair of their "Splitz" gloves but as Halvarssons are currently not represented in Spain I decided to have a look and see what else I could see.
And I stumbled across an interesting glove from Rukka (Finland). Rukka have been the dogs wotsits as long as I can remember. It has a double cuff - Here it is called the FROSTO - in the UK seems to be called the Feinnes. Also seems to be much cheaper here than the UK. And a current price cut from Motocard means they are the same price as the Halvarssons coming from UK. Also I have to be honest - until we see how BREXIT affects purchasing and warranty - I'm trying to buy as local as poss.
My question is simple - Has anybody any feedback on the fit of Rukka Gloves, please?. Esp if you have also ridden with Halvarssons.
I do have some winter gloves - but they are the under-sleeve type and I want some over-sleeve "Gauntlet" protection. There are pros and cons to both. And also the ones I have are BULKY.
The Rukka gives a 2 for 1 solution. But I have no way to try before I buy.
Yours hopefully.
