There's a knack to them

05 May 2021 by Anonymous

As some have said, they are bit long (theyre fine with my long cuffed gloves), they do have tight elastic but here's some tips...

Put one of the mits over one of your gloves, tuck the extra length into the glove if needed. It is now very easy to take the mit off with your glove still inside. Do the same with your other glove. Now you have two wind/waterproof gloves that you can put on or take off without any fuss.

Not the most stylish thing to wear but I'd rather keep my hands dry if I get caught in some miserable weather, and I am confident that they will. I've been able to use my controls and levers without a problem too.

Losing one star because I'm not sure about the durability of the material if was using them a lot, but Im sure they will withstand plenty of "occasional use" which is the plan. They are as I would expect for a fair price.

Easy on

I bought these to replace the "Vulcan salute" type I had which, although they kept the rain out, were a struggle to put on. These are easier to put on and being from the same manufacturer and material, I expect them to work just as well as my old ones.

Waste of money

Unless your fingers are at least 9 inches long these are never going to fit you. Pretty hopeless I'm afraid. I would have expected better from Held.

Filppers for motorcyclist

Good for emergencies, I went for XL and they are massive but still very tight on the wrist bit and a struggle to get on over my gloves..... if my fingers where a foot long they would fit :-)

Worked as expected

Bit tight to get over my armoured winter gloves but a good fit once on.
Hands stayed dry and warm even in very heavy rain.

Ok I guess

Do what they need to for £12. Quite big. I only bought them to keep in my bag in case it rained whilst touring. Prob better off buying waterproof riding gloves if you can. This was just a cheaper option and a quick fix.

Flippers (for the wet)

Bought these over gloves - elastic is a bit tight as I have huge hands - so they took some getting over my normal gloves - however..... Once on I was significantly warmer and stayed dry in pretty ugly heavy rain. A bit clumsy but easy to get used to and will do the job.

Looks OK

I purchased these for emergency back up should I get caught out in a storm. Not tried them in anger as yet but they look and feel as though they will do the job OK.
One tip, usually with biker kit you have to buy a size larger but in this case your standard size works.

OK for emergency backup

Well made and 100% waterproof, but quite cumbersome and difficult to put on.
I keep them in my bag for emergencies only.

Keeps you dry

Does what it says on the tin...keeps your hands dry. One improvement I'd like to this product is a slightly larger cuff, to make the ease of going over the jacket sleeve with an elasticated draw string with locking toggle. With that in mind, this product would have got an excellent from me.

Handy gloves

05 September 2014 by Roger N

I bought these a few weeks ago and have not yet had chance to try them out. However, they seem to be of good quality and should be fine. It can be a little difficult to get the second glove on with the first gloved hand, but it just takes practice. I'm a returning customer and again SBS service is first class.

The gloves are just what you expect - and with the recent weather here in the UK just what i needed. No complaints so far!

A simple glove

08 June 2014 by Ian T

I was a little bit dubious that something as simple and in expensive would actually work, that said thirteen hundred miles of French roads later im convinced that this low tech solution actually worked and worked well. Easy to wear small and light weight perfect for sticking in your luggage and not worrying about space.
