Halvarrsons and Lindstrands are the same company. Andy Spencer sells both at Behind Bars in Kenilworth.
Exactly! And he gives 10% off to Coventry & West Midlands Advanced Motorcyclist members.

My Alpinestars 365 (probably discontinued knowing my luck) are warm even in winter (but I don't need heated grips) waterproof and safe.
Alpinestars 365 Drystar gloves did well (a 4-star safety rating) in MotoCAP tests:

Here is another review of some CE Level 2 gloves, which Bike Social have taken a shine to:

I have a couple of pairs of Five gloves and they're well made.

Just beware these are improved over the original Airflows from 2020 if you read the review, so check carefully before buying.

Just about managed to confirm these are Level 2. LS2 Swift gloves.

SBS link
Terrible manufacturer PDF confirming what is not even mentioned on the SBS page :/

Another review of Level 2 gloves - Oxford Nexus this time, which have been around since ~June-ish.
These are very good value for their protection level at £99.99, and get Bennetts' Gold award:

I previously noted the range of sizes was limited, but Sportbikeshop now has S -> 3XL.

The only Level 2 gloves I'm missing now are waterproof ones that aren't deep winter ones. These don't plug that gap, otherwise I'd buy them.

Yours, Imelda.

I thought it was shoes. Still, I get the drift.

Fashionably late, has joined the Level 2 trend with its Full Metal 7 gloves:

But they aren’t cheap! :o

Discounted to £379. Hmmm. I think that may be a bit too salty, even for me.

I have lovely CE Level 2 summer gloves, and also CE Level 2 winter gloves which I managed to break a little more in this winter.

But I'm still looking for a 3 season waterproof CE Level 2 pair that don't have sausage fingers.
The equivalent to the Richa Street Touring gloves.
