Review on ILM Winter Alloy Steel Motorcycle 🧤 Riding Gloves - Warm, Waterproof, and Windproof by Dennis Chase

Would I Buy Again - Motorcycle & Powersports

You won't find a better cold weather glove for this price. I originally ordered a large because I wear it with Icon/Alpine Stars leather gloves. It was too small - XXL fits much better. Even on the XXL, the fingers were a bit shorter than I was hoping and they can feel taut after holding the controls for a while. They're good for the first 30 minutes, but after that they start to get annoying. XXL fingers are just tiny, but roomier than large fingers, so choose your palm size (then increase it). My height is 6ft 170# with very thin arms for reference. Wind and water resistance were good - I ride about an hour each way, mostly on city streets but sometimes faster (80km/h). My morning rides (20F) went well and my hands are warm enough without the gloved winds I'm feeling. In 40F they were perfect. My fingers get quite cold, but that's not due to the gloves - the heated grips will fix that. The company itself is wonderful and very responsive. Service A+ The seams are good and the glove is long enough to cover the coat sleeve well. This applies to both pairs I have. The armor is minimal, as is usual with most textile gloves, the palms and knuckles have enough plastic that I don't have to worry about a small fall. It's well made and feels unassuming, unlike some of the cheaper gloves I've gotten from Chinese sellers. I got caught in the rain in 40 degree weather and my hands looked better than my neck so A+. After 45 minutes of heavy rain, some water got into the seam above the thumb. I still felt like I was in good control of my controls. They also come in some great bright colors that are great for colder rides when it gets dark earlier. I'm green in color, but it's almost yellow - it's very light, and dirt and water instantly drip into it.
