Winter gloves

Perhaps remove the link to the website on your profile page so your bullshit is not so easy to spot next time?

When cold, I've been recommended clenching and unclenching your hands rapidly, apparently it gets the blood and muscles working. Works well if you you're pootling along on the tops.

When I found myself underdressed on a recent 5am start, my hands spent a lot of time under my armpits while riding...

I've been using the Sealskinz Ultra Grip gauntlet for a few weeks now in temps below 6c.

They really are excellent, and I suffer with a degree of Reynauds until the blood has full circulated, at which point I start to massively overheat. Breathable, windproof and waterproof and the cut is nice.

My only complaint is while I like that the cuff is super long, so there are no gaps, it does tend to make the forearms unusually warm and they don't easily go under some of my tighter fitting jerseys, so I often faff around trying to get the two to cooperate.

Above 6c, I use the Galibier Roubaix Vision, and although a tiny bit cold to start with, they're perfect after a few minutes, with great grip and feel. Cuff is a tiny bit short, though.

IME they are not waterproof.

Mine lasted one winter before they sprung a leak, and let all the cold into one finger.

I used to quite like mine but once they get below a certain temperature they're worse than no gloves, the membrane bit seems to retain the cold.

I want the rapha deep winter gloves, anyone tried them?

So far this winter and I have lost one glove from two pairs of DeFeet gloves, including one from a pair that I had just found again. Worth noting that while good gloves, DeFeet are tricksy

Medium? I haz spare right non ET.

I ALWAYS lose Defeet gloves - never lose any others. Dunno what it is with those guys...

The only gloves I've ever lost were a pair of the Defeet ones.

Maybe they pay people to steal them so you buy a new pair? I've seen stranger marketing campaigns...

Only users lose gloves.

I've lost so many parts of Madison glasses I could recently build 3 pairs from spares. Then I did some more losing.

Not yet. Got them on order, together with some merino liners, but they only shipped yesterday.

Keep me in the loop

Don't think you'd need the Rapha's liner, I found the Endura Fleece liner and DeFeet Merino glove to work a treat (latter a bit thicker).

So has anyone taken the gamble and brought in a pair of 45NRTH Sturmfist gloves yet?

I'm looking at extreme options now for below 3 deg. Even with sealskins lobsters I'm going numb at finger tips. Rapha deep winter looks like an option too.

deep winter are not gonna work better than liners + lobsters

I get really cold fingers too...

...started putting Tesco bags over the STIs on my tourer to break the wind (as even Gore windstopper ones don't keep me warm) as the Pogies are only for MTB ones.

Looks fugly, but it helps. I should make a sort of Teacosy for it that is waterproof and that's me sorted.

there is ! i suffer from codl habds and feet, and basically i started looking outside pure cycling brands
Arc'teryx has some super insulated and wind/waterproof gloves : Venta SV, Zenta LT (GTX), and the expensive Caden which has a removable liner. if a bit bulky, these are ok to use on bikes. i personnaly tried the zenta when hiking and cycling
a cheaper brand Roeckl ( i use this brand some when crosscountry skiing )http://www.roeckl.de/en/products/biking/winter/glove/ventoso-gtxR/ Veneri, Ventoso gtx, Vreden. i have the Vreden, and it's very insulated albeit non gtx, so can end up soaked.

I thought there is a pogies for STi.
