LOL, the Highlands of Scotland = the Never Summer Land. Did a training course near Ben Nevis back in my Army days. Middle of summer and we froze!!

+1....I carry mine in my riding jacket pocket. Work great, had them for over 40,000 miles now.

+ another for Lobster Claws. Pack to nothing and I've had mine for years now. They are also easy to slip on or pull off while riding too.

If you get these gloves, get at least two sizes larger than what you wear, if you wear any sort of real protective armored gloves. I wear a size L gloves and the XL is WAAAAAYYYY too small.

So, if you have a size L glove, do you buy a L in the Claws, or do you need to go XL or XXL? Just wondering what size to buy.

Got my big rubber gloves at Lowe's or Home Depot. (can't recall) I put on my riding gloves and tried on rubber gloves over them until I found a pair that fit. IIRC they were $5 or so.

Yeah... It's a cheap solution, but they are black and the color matches the milk crate on back of the KLR just fine.

My Winter gloves from Tourmaster, (Winter Elite, I think) are long gauntlet types. Behind a short zipper in the gauntlet portion is a fold-out, permanently attached, thin, waterproof, over glove. Very clever! It folds so flat that you'd never know it was there, when it's not in use. The best part is that it's always there, not hanging on a peg back in the garage because you were sure it wouldn't rain today!

I had a pair similar to those back in 1980 or so. They worked brilliantly well, but I haven't seen anything similar in the UK since. Another advantage was that I used to cross the Humber Bridge every day, and had to pay a toll of 50p. The little zipped pocket that the over glove fitted in was ideal for the coin. I could pay without even taking the gloves off.

Thanks for the tip, will look these out.
