Just called in to the new J&S store at Southampton to buy some more gloves. They have a 20% "No Show" sale on in all their stores at the moment as they will not be at Motorcycle Live this year. It includes items with a sale tag on already, so may be worth a look.
Look into the RST battery powered heated gloves . On full power it would last about 3 hours . You can buy spare battery for £20 if you are going to be constantly on the road. One thing I don't like about the RST heated gloves is the lack of armour . I was told it's soft shell armour but I'm not convinced.
Also if you are after a decent winter jacket . ....j&s sells IXS (Swedish Company). The fitting n thermal properties are good ;-)
I got the IXS jacket and pants from J&S three and half years ago, 15000 miles in them, through all weathers and torrential rain, kept me warm and dry. highly recommended.
Bollocks, wife just bought the Dean leather jacket three weeks ago from this store, not even worn it yet as it's a birthday gift. just my luck.
Went to Birmingham J and S to get some new winter gloves at the weekend. Tried on most of the ones in the shop but nothing in a big enough size except some leather ones which fitted great but they had no armour protection so no sale there. Bought a helmet and a Rossi t shirt instead, the search continues for winter leather gloves size 4xl or 5xl. 3xl which seem to be the largest generally available tend to be a little too snug, also I want to be able to wear inner ski gloves underneath sometimes as I can in my free from Carole Nash last year Cube textile gloves.
