What makes these gloves good for winter?
Winter in the UK is not just cold, it is wet, windy and often both at the same time. Regular gloves, even decent ones, just do not cut it when it is 2°C and drizzling on the M6 at seven in the morning. These gloves are put together with that exact kind of riding in mind.
The outer shell is fully waterproof. Rain hits it and runs straight off. Texpeed uses durable outer materials that are designed to handle regular exposure to rain and wind without wearing out quickly over time. The lining inside is thick enough to keep the warmth in without making the gloves feel clunky or stiff. You still get a decent grip and feel on the handlebars, which matters more than people often think. Cold hands and bulky gloves are a bad combination, and these Texpeed gloves avoid both.
The extended cuff is one of those details that sounds small, but you really notice it. It goes over your jacket sleeve, so there is no gap where the cold can sneak in. If you have ever had that stripe of frozen wrist on a long ride, you will know exactly what we mean.
CE-approved - what this actually means
You will see the CE mark on these gloves, and it is worth knowing what that means in plain terms. Texpeed winter biker gloves meet CE EN 13594 standards, which are specific to motorcycle gloves in the UK and Europe. It tests how well a glove protects your hands in a crash, including impact force, abrasion resistance and how the glove stays in place.
These gloves meet Level 2, which is the higher of the two levels under the standard. It means they have been tested by an independent lab, not just approved in-house. For everyday commuters and weekend riders, Level 2 provides solid and genuine protection.
Knuckle protection is built in. The hard shell sits over the back of your hand and absorbs impact so your bones do not have to. The palm has reinforced grip panels, which also help with abrasion if you come off. It is not complicated; it is simply designed to work when it matters.

Who are these gloves for?
These Texpeed gloves work well for commuters who are out in all conditions and do not have the option of waiting for a dry day. They are also a solid choice for touring riders who might be covering long distances in autumn or early spring, when the temperature drops fast once the sun goes down.
If you mostly ride in the warmer months but want something ready for the odd cold snap, these do that job too. They are not so heavily insulated that they become useless in milder weather. Think of them as your serious autumn-through-spring glove.
They suit both men and women. The sizing runs from S to XXL and is based on hand circumference in centimetres, so it is easy to get the right fit. If you are between sizes, go up, particularly if you plan to use liner gloves underneath in the coldest months.
Using inner liner gloves underneath
In really cold weather, anything below 2°C or 3°C, you might want to add a thin liner glove underneath.
Cotton or silk inner gloves add a noticeable layer of warmth without much bulk, and the extended cuff design means there is enough room to accommodate them comfortably. This combination helps you handle proper winter conditions without needing a second, bulkier pair of gloves for extreme cold.
