Heritage Extreme Winter Gloves
Heritage Extreme Winter Gloves earn a best-in-class spot for riders who prioritize maximum cold-weather protection — their heavy insulation and windproof shell are engineered for long, frigid outings with tack-friendly palms. Compared with the other gloves on this list they trade a bit of dexterity for superior warmth, making them a smart, if slightly higher-cost, choice for endurance or turnout in severe conditions where insulation payoff outweighs price.
