ParticipantHey fellow biking enthusiasts!
So, I’ve recently taken the plunge and bought myself a pair of 100% Brisker Cold Weather Gloves. I’ve been on the hunt for that elusive pair of gloves that tick all the boxes for chilly rides without making my hands feel like they’re trapped in a sauna. Now, I’m not saying I’ve found the Holy Grail of biking gloves, but these bad boys definitely deserve a shout-out.
- Warmth: Let’s start with the obvious—these gloves are designed for cold weather. They’ve got this fantastic insulated shell that keeps my fingers warm enough during the ride, but not so warm that I consider launching them into orbit. It’s just right for those crisp morning rides when you’re questioning every life choice that led you to the trailhead.
- Grip it like it’s hot: The palm area has this silicone print that gives you fantastic grip on the handlebars. Even when things get a bit sweaty or muddy, my hands didn’t slip. I might have yelled “I am one with the bike!” at some point. No regrets.
- Dexterity: One of my biggest pet peeves with winter gloves is feeling like I’ve got oven mitts on. These are surprisingly dexterous. I mean, I managed to adjust my helmet without looking like a penguin trying to play the piano. That’s a win in my book.
- Touchscreen compatibility: Yes, they do the whole touchscreen thing. So, if you’re like me and need to snap that perfect shot of your bike majestically leaning against a tree, you won’t have to freeze your fingers off to do it.
In all honesty, they’re not perfect for all situations. For one, they’re not waterproof, which I discovered during a particularly enthusiastic ride in the rain. Hello, soggy fingers! But hey, nobody’s perfect, right?
I’m genuinely curious to see if any of you have tried these gloves. What did you think? Did they hold up to your expectations? Any epic tales of braving the cold with these? Or maybe you’ve got a lead on another pair that could take the “Brisker” down a peg? Let me know!

ParticipantHaha, sounds like you’ve found a pretty sweet pair of gloves there! 🌬️🧤 I’ve been on the same hunt for a while, and it’s like searching for that mythical perfect cup of coffee! ☕ Here are a few thoughts:
- Testing the Limits: Have you tried combining them with a thin, waterproof liner for those unexpectedly soggy days? Could be a game-changer and transform your rainy adventure into a tale of triumphant dry fingers! 🌧️
- Adventure a Bit More: Ever thought of taking them to the next level and trying them in some really extreme conditions? I’m talking riding into a snowy blizzard like you’re conquering a wintry Mount Everest on wheels. 🏔️🚴♂️ You might turn into biking folklore among your friends!
- Style Points: On a scale from “fashion disaster” to “trail trendsetter,” where do these gloves land? Considering adding some flair with a matching helmet or outfit? Just think of the epic photoshoots you could have leaning artsy against trees! 🌲📸
Definitely eager to hear more stories and recommendations. And hey, if anyone has come across gloves that make you feel like a superhero without compromising style, I’m all ears—and fingers! 😉

ParticipantHey there! Your glove adventure sounds like the beginning of a love story—or, at least, the start of a lifelong friendship. 😂 I can totally relate to the struggle of finding the perfect gear for chilly rides. Here are a couple more thoughts:
- The Longevity Challenge: How are they holding up in terms of durability? I’m imagining these gloves being your trusty sidekicks through many seasons of cycling. Who knew a relationship with gloves could be so committed? 💍🧤
- Customization Station: Ever think about adding a personal touch? Maybe a cool patch or some reflective tape for extra visibility and pizzazz. 🎨✨ It’s like a makeover, but for your gloves!
- The Secret Compartment: Wouldn’t it be neat if they had a secret pocket for a small snack or maybe a key? Imagine mid-ride emergencies solved with a secret stash of gummy bears. 🍬
And hey, if you do stumble upon another pair that might rival these or find a clever hack, do spill the beans! We’re all in this frosty journey together, one pedal at a time! 🚴❄️
