Winter gloves

I bloody hope they are wool. Said so on the product website and on that label.

I've been looking at these gloves since last year, glad to hear someone is using them and think they're decent.

For £50 for both the gloves and lobsters, seems like a decent investment for a p wide range of temperatures. Throw some liners on underneath and you'd be sorted for all but torrential rain.

Velosport in Putney stock them, IIRC.

12 degrees my frigid butt! Wearing the early winter ones in anything above 5c would be daft. They retain decent heat. If you are especially cold. Get them a size larger so you have enough space to trap air in there.
@Mechamorgan beat me to it. slap a liner in there and my blood happily reached all extremities! As for rain. Let it fall! So long as my hard earned body heat stays where it is!

Do you have particularly cold handsies and feetsies, though?

At any sort of social gathering, my go to trick is drawing smiley faces on my hand. I also don't shake hands for fear of murder by ice.

Just got a pair of Spesh sub zero, for £27, so thought I'd give em a go. Toasty so far, although lobster hand does take some gettin used to.

Pow! Now you're talking my language.

Gunna go with...

Arcteryx Gothic Gloves for Liners
Phew Inner + Outer for base miles
Grippp Winter Glove for training
Castelli Neoprene for when it's proper shitting it down

Jobs a good 'un. Close the thread.

2 months? I have some (admittedly slightly holed from crashes and long fingers) gloves from Oz. They must be 12-15 years old now. WTF do you do to them?

^ no idea. Same thing happens when I go skiing - most gloves last 2 weeks tops.

Oh yes baby pleaaaase! On route to me now! Thanks for the heads up.

300 quid later and i'll bet you'll still be moaning on this thread

£180-odd, as I've already got the neoprene gloves, although I do love a good moan.

I think this lot, plus some new overshoes and winter socks and I think my extremities will finally be tolerably warm. I am an inveterate buyer, admittedly.

@Chak they look awesome eh?! Let me know how you get on with them. Glove buddies.

ha

Anyone else just get a sweet email from alwaysriding?

#durawoolet #allthesizes #alreadyordered

any discount codes available before i order?

ne'er mind ordered anyway. Anyone want to but the non-merino version? medium size worn one very bold morning for approx 30 minutes. £10 posted.

Had a pair of these for a couple of winters now. Haven't needed anything else, even with my bad circulation, and used them up north on the moors too. Cheap and cheerful, although the velcro is rubbish.

I put some conductive thread in the fingers so I could make this boast post pon de phone.
I win you lose.

Really want a pair of the defeet but sure its worth the €8.50 shipping /csb

Yeah, my go-to winter gloves are these (but grey a-tex and branded PX). I think I paid a tenner.

They're showing zero signs of wear 3yrs on.

Nice one, I have a pair on the way now too.

thanks

Whats the padding like on those A-Tex gloves? I prefer minimal padding.

There is none.

Are alwaysriding the only people in the country with stock of the Defeet dura merinos?

Sigma have them in Large
