Has anyone here purchased Held warm n dry gloves?

I tried them on last week and they felt absolutely superb. No snag, thin at the fingertips and probably the most comfortable glove I've ever put on. At £119 they aren't cheap so if anyone has purchased a pair can you let me know your thoughts.

sorry no...but i did get some Held Shakal last week, they seem well made and well thought out...Held gloves have won plenty of 'best in class' awards with motorrad magazine in Germany, so there seems to be some pedigree in there. The Held Warm'n'dry are on my shopping list for winter  ;D so be good to know how you get on
It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

From what I've read if it gets really cold your fingertips will get numb, but this can be offset by heated grips and wind deflectors.

cheers for that link NB, my wife been searching for decent gloves as long as she been riding, gets cold fingers even in summer, these may held as she wont use inner liner. web page looks class re previous thread i would be willing contribute if needed

Not got those but have used the Held 2040 (previous model)also xtrafit for three winters and they've never leaked and in all but the extreme cold i.e. below 3C with heated grips there great. I also had a pair of Phantoms too, beautifully made gloves too.
Once you realise we are all mad, life starts to make sense

Must admit , when & if it gets cold around here I like the Heine Gerick double finger mits..they work well.

have a set of spada enforcers that do good job keeping hands warm but allow enough sensativity on controls

Have a pair of enforcers in the cupboard......didn't get on with them..started off fine, but the lining pulls out easily and they can get a bit smelly if the rain ever permeates the inner glove liner...i use mine for emergencies only (ie...when all my other waterprrof gloves are wet)
