Hey Kent,
Sorry about that! The Five WFX gloves I wear a lot less – normally just in either really cold or really wet weather. They are noticeably thicker than the type of glove I prefer (I like thin gloves and often wear summer gloves even in winter), but they are also not so thick as to take away from throttle feeling to a huge extent like many of the winter waterproof gloves I’ve used. So they are a good compromise for me and I’ll happily wear them.
They remained warm on the occasions used through winter, with temperatures around 10-degrees C, which you can add wind chill too.
The only time I ever had any issues with water ingress was when I hadn’t secured my jacket cuffs and the glove properly to make sure water wasn’t running down my arm into them, which is entirely my own fault. Worn properly they were very waterproof in my experience.
The lining was also a standout, unlike other winter gloves I’ve used the lining didn’t seperate from the glove interior and stick to my hand or pull out of the fingers after extended use. There was no discomfort across the palm from bunching either. Putting them back on damp (when I was lazy and had them on the outside of my jacket in the rain), or sweaty is easy thanks to the lining staying in place. I haven’t got them with me right now but I’ll take a close look tonight and let you know how the palms and overall glove are holding up.

I have to admit I normally run the RFX1’s in most conditions for longer rides, with the WFX being my wet weather option. They are definitely my favourite winter glove so far though. Normally I wear winter gloves through necessity, where with the WFX I don’t feel like it’s a chore. My only real criticism is that the velcro adjuster behind the wrist could allow for a tighter fit, but I also have skinny forearms, so that’ll vary from person to version.

I’ll go through my winter notes and add anything else I can think of though!

Glad to hear you like reading about the Daytona too!

Thanks,

Kris, thanks for the quick response, but I was interested in an update of the Five WFX Tech winter gloves. 😉
Are they reasonably waterproof and do they stay reasonably warm during steady rain and lower temps? Does the glove have the Thinsulate lining on the palm and if so, is the lining bonded to the palm to reduce grip slip and improve control/feel? How are the palms holding up to control rub in wet weather? You have many glove options available, are they still your favorite/go to winter gloves?
Thanks for your reviews. I also enjoyed reading about your Triumph Daytona.
Keep up the good work.

Hey Kent! Thanks for reminding me about the update!
I got through the wet weather very well with the Five RFX1’s, they got drenched on a number of occasions through winter and just letting them dry naturally, often while worn they stayed supple with minimal wear on the leather. Only the Five logo across the armour behind the wrist on the gauntlet is showing any wear (it’s just decoration), with all the seams in very good shape. The Velcro across the wrist and behind/under the wrist are both also in great shape too and haven’t lost their strength. We’re back into 40-degree (104°F) heat now and they are continuing to be my every day option.
They’ve got great breathability, so the only downside in winter is they can be quite cool, even though we have very mild winters.
Probably the main difference from when originally pictured is that they are looking a little dirty on the white leather sections.
Let me know if you’ve got any other questions!

Looking forward t the update you promised. 😉
