How to Avoid Cold Hands While Riding in Low Temps?

It is exciting to ride your motorcycle in winter with the fresh air, the silence of the road, and the adventure, which is all to be remembered. However, there is one problem that any rider struggles with: cold hands. Numb fingers or stiff fingers when the weather is cold are not only uncomfortable but also can influence your grip, control, and safety on the road.

Now, how do you warm your hands whilst riding in cold weather but not lose any control or comfort? Here is a full-scale manual on how to keep your fingers warm and operational in all those cold miles.

Begin with Quality Winter Motorcycle Gloves.

The highest quality and the first and most important line of defence against cold weather is a pair of high-quality winter motorcycle gloves of high quality. They are rider-specific gloves, unlike ordinary gloves, because they provide combinations of insulation, windproof, and waterproof protection without the need to lose flexibility.

In case of purchasing gloves, seek such features as:

Thermal insulation (Thinsulate or fleece lining)

Waterproof and windproof outer shells.

Over-the-sleeve long cuffs to keep out the cold air.

Curved fingers to achieve more grip and less fatigue.

And in case you need gloves that will satisfy all these requirements, then it is the right step to buy the high-quality winter motorcycle gloves by WARDLER. They are both comfortable and protective and do not make your hands any larger, which means you can concentrate on the road and not on the frozen fingers.

Add Glove Liners to be extra warm.

In case your gloves are not good enough to do it, wear a couple of thermal glove liners under your gloves. These are lightweight layers which are lightweight and provide insulation and keep the moisture off your skin.

Silk or merino wool liners are the perfect choice since they remain warm even when wet - a very necessary characteristic during long, cold rides. They are also easy to wear and remove gloves and keep your hands dry.

Block the Wind

Even the finest gloves may fail in their duty when the cold air gets inside. One of the largest perpetrators of frozen fingers is the wind, and therefore, your equipment must be fully covered.

You can use:

Handlebar wind deflectors or handguards.

Bar muffs, which are designed as a windproof covering on your hands.

Cuffs of jackets that fit over your gloves.

The jacket of the motorcycle of WARDLER is so made that its cuffs can be re-adjusted and the sleeves can be extended to keep the cold air out and make the ride warmer.

Try Heated Gloves or Grips

Heated motorcycle gloves or grips are the game-changer for those riders who often have to deal with the very low temperatures.

Heated gloves have built-in battery-powered heating systems that have an equal warming effect on your hands and fingers.

Heated grips heat your hands in your palms directly off the handlebars - an ideal choice for long rides.

A combination of the two provides utmost warmth and flexibility. Although they may be an investment, the comfort and control they bring are well worth the money.

Keep Your Core Warm

This may seem to be a funny thing to say, but the warmer your core is, the warmer your hands. Once your body begins to lose heat, it will prioritize other crucial body organs by cutting back on the amount of blood that reaches your extremities; that is, your hands and feet will feel colder first.

In that case, be sure to dress in lots of thermal clothes, insulated jackets, and windproof trousers. The design of winter motorcycle jackets in WARDLER is such that the jackets have thermal lining and wind-resistant shells to ensure that the overall body temperature is kept warm, which means that blood can flow freely to your hands.

Stay Dry at All Costs

The worst enemy of cold weather is wet gloves. The presence of moisture significantly reduces the heat loss, and hence it is always advisable to make sure that your gloves are completely waterproof or have an extra pair just in case.

In case of rain or snow when riding, wear waterproof over-gloves or a rain cover to cover your main ones. When you are through riding, wipe your gloves thoroughly with dry garments prior to using the next one to avoid the build-up of moisture.

Final Thoughts

Freezing hands may make what otherwise would have been a pleasant winter ride into a nightmare - or even a life-threatening one. It all depends on the preparation: get yourself a pair of insulated, waterproof gloves, wear them in layers, and keep your hands safe against stinging winds.

When using the winter motorcycle gloves and jackets that WARDLER sells, you are sure you will be okay with the cold weather, but your hands will be warm, comfortable, and you will be in a position to hold onto the throttle.
