'Real World' User review: Held 'Warm n Dry' Gloves

We convinced Michael Braybrook he should let us know how he got on with his new Held 'Warm n Dry Gloves'.

We can rattle on and show you all the promotional material in the world- but it's how the gear performs in the 'real world' that matters!

Held Warm n Dry Gloves. Warm, and, erm, dry...

Here's what Michael had to say:

"Well then... certainly a wet ride up north, and a cold ride back south but... not a drop of water got through the gloves.

Even when my other wet weather gear started to fail and fill with water the gloves didn't miss a beat. About an hour in hands started to get a little chilly but it was COLD and they're not full on winter gloves. Ride back south was even colder (but at least dryer) and the gloves did a great job on wind protection and keeping my hands warm. Finger tips started to get chilly but sticking the heated grips on helped quite a bit.

I'd just like to also add, the visor-wipe may be the greatest addition to gloves since fingers! Couldn't see a thing with the amount of spray without it.

I think the name says it all, 'Warm n Dry'. If you're after a full on winter glove go with something like the Held 'Freezer', but if you're after a glove that will keep your hands dry and warm in cooler temps, I can't recommend these enough".
