Winter Motorcycle Gloves Waterproof Touchscreen Windproof - Warm

In this review the Winter Motorcycle Gloves from Grapelet are judged as a practical, weatherproof option for riders who need dependable warmth and basic impact protection in cold conditions. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 3M Thinsulate insulating layer with a waterproof membrane and velvet inner lining, which keeps hands warm and dry while still allowing fingertip use of touchscreen devices. The gloves aim at cold-weather commuting and touring where rain, wind and temperatures are a concern.

Key Features

• ECO-FRIENDLY fabric: Uses 30% recycled fabrics to reduce waste while delivering a durable outer layer that stands up to regular use.
• 3M insulation: Integrated Thinsulate layer plus a velvet thermal lining retain heat without excessive bulk, helping riders stay comfortable on cold rides.
• Waterproof and windproof: A waterproof membrane and regular cuff design block moisture and wind, keeping hands dry in wet weather.
• Touchscreen fingertips: Thumb and middle fingertips allow use of phones or navigation units without removing gloves for short interactions.
• Knuckle protection: Rigid protectors on the knuckles provide an added layer of impact and abrasion resistance in a fall.
• Anti-slip palm pads: Reinforced palm pads improve grip on controls for confident clutch and brake handling.

Who It's For

The gloves are best for motorcycle riders and winter commuters who want a balance of insulation, weather protection and basic protective features without the bulk of heavy touring gloves. They suit riders who value environmental credentials, since the outer fabric contains recycled material, and who occasionally need to use touchscreens while on the go.

These are not aimed at racers or riders who need CE-certified heavy armor or gauntlet-style waterproof touring gloves for multi-day expeditions; if you require class-leading impact protection or a longer gauntlet cuff for deep weather exposure, other specialized gloves would be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Warmth from the 3M Thinsulate layer and velvet lining without excessive bulk.
• Waterproof membrane and adjustable Velcro cuffs keep wind and moisture out.
• Touchscreen-capable thumb and middle fingertips let you operate a device without removing gloves.
• Reinforced palm pads and knuckle protectors add practical safety elements for everyday riding.

Cons

• Protectors are practical but not a substitute for full CE-certified impact armor for high-risk use.
• Touchscreen function is limited to thumb and middle finger, so fine input may still require glove removal.

Specifications

Our Verdict

These gloves offer strong everyday value for riders who need reliable warmth and weather protection with practical safety features. They are especially good for cold-weather commuting and short touring where touchscreen access and grip matter. For riders needing maximum certified armor or extended gauntlet coverage, a different glove would be better, but for most winter riders these deliver balanced performance at a reasonable cost.
