Hello

I have a pair of Richa Arctic gloves which are great but the inner lining is now often getting dragged out when I take my hands out of them and then it’s a pain trying to get them back on. Other than that they do all I need.
So I’m on the look out for another pair which has the lining bonded in which by my reading Rukka seem to do eg Rukka Virium.
Anyone else had that problem and recommend a good all round glove similar to the Richa?
Thanks.
 
Virium, look no further.

PS For a temporary way of dealing with pulled out linings, whilst you ponder about gloves. Proggle, push and twist the clutch or front brake lever down each finger and the two thumbs. It helps to push / twist the lining back in.

I am on a second pair. Great glove, but these do delaminate too. Both of mine have done that. Unfortunately the second pair is a warranty replacement and only carry a 1 year warranty as such (no idea why)

Still, a good glove, thin, so great for feedback from controls. I wouldn’t call it an all year round glove, but for UK it might as well be, a but clammy in the summer though.

My gloves of choice now are:
Held Air & Dry,great glove that can be had in wast array of sizes of the peg. The sizes include short, regular and long finger options.

Knox Orsa 2, great summer glove with BOA cuff adjuster.

I use my Rukka Virium gloves as a back up and due to their compact volume, they are great to carry in the tank bag should the weather turn a bit crap.

Rukka Apollo, been using them two years in all weathers, great gloves. The Gore-Tex membrane is laminated and hasn’t come off...
 
Another vote for the Apollo. It’s the oldest glove in my vast collection and I keep coming back to it!
 
Held Air N Dry for me. Used with heated grips I've not needed anything better. Pair of Richa Carbon winter gloves as a very cheap and very effective back up. Really well insulated gloves those for around £40.
 
A thin set of inner gloves (silk liners etc) should also work if you have the room.

Thanks - do the Held and Knox also delaminate?

So far I haven’t had any issues with either of them, but only had them for less than a year.

Had my Held gloves for 15 months and still good as new. Very well made.

I always rip them to bits on the Velcro fasteners then throw them in the bin. I’ve recently started using very thin merino wool inner gloves and whether it’s because I’ve finally learned how not to snag them on the Velcro or if it’s because they’re a bit tougher I don’t know but they’re lasting relatively well so far.

The ones I’m using are isobaa 180 and they kept my digits warm enough when I was wandering back from a bar at 1am this morning with the temperature a chilly -7c :eek:

Another advantage of silk glove liners is you can slip them on even if your hands are slightly damp
