Big black muffs

One of the best motorcyling inventions of all time?

Just taken the VFR for a run after putting them on - did 60-odd miles
with lovely toasty warm hands.

They get my vote.

Dry hands in the wet, no sun burn when in the desert.

 

We like this.
No way I'd commute over the winter without them. I've just been given
another pair of Oxford muffs. Apparently they don't fit a mate's winter
hack. Very handy as no1 son has nicked my old ones. The youth of today seems
not to be made of the same stuff...

I take mine off for the summer but as soon as it starts to get a bit
chilly they go back on. It's not only the difference in warmth that
makes them worth having but the fact that your gloves stay dry so you
don't have to suffer soggy gloves the next morning.

 

Too bloody right. Cold and dry is ok, but add some wet and then 40+ miles
gets fucking cold. It's not too bad if you get to dry the gloves out during
the day (so long as the engineers are thermal testing) but putting alreadfy
wet gloves on to ride home is 'orrible.

I don't use my bike for commuting but my stupid habit of heading off
on long winter trips camping in the cold makes it pretty important to
keep your hands warm and dry. I'm a wuss so I use heated gloves as
well as bar muffs but even heated gloves are useless if they're piss
wet through.
