IXON IT-YATE EVO GLOVES $399.95
I’LL NEVER FORGET AS A YOUNG PLAYER riding my Fireblade sportsbike, thinking I was the coolest cat there could be with my race boots, sports leather jacket and racing gloves, no matter what time of year it was – yes, young and dumb, as we all were. After a couple of trips away with my father on some rather bleak and freezing cold days, I realised I needed some winter gloves. These served me well until I rode a motorcycle fitted with heated grips –heated wonders been all my life…right there on the shelf at the local bike shop I’d walked past a thousand times! From memory they were Oxford heated grips, which at the time were rather bulky to grip onto, but warm hands in winter were like being handed a golden ticket to motorcycling heaven.
