Winter gloves

I use these for overnight summer riding (ie. PBP, 600k audax).

They're basically a long-finger version of a mitt and do enough to keep the chill off overnight.

Ta, will try and find some to try on. Might be a bit thin for deep winter though....

They're NOT for deep winter - I said summer night riding.

If you don't suffer from particularly cold hands though they'd be fine for single-digit temps. I already have thicker gloves for winter though so I will be saving these for warmer stuff.

My DuraWool ET gloves just arrived. Sizing chart is off. I'm Bang in the middle of the recommend sizing for the large glove and they are too big. Fucking pain in the arsed to return from lovely Ireland cause my hands are freezing. CSB.

The recommend sizing on always riding is 21-23 cm but its 22.5-25 on the gloves tag.

^the wool shrinks a bit

Yeah I was thinking that? by much? There is a good cm at the top of each finger

They do have longish fingers. Better than poking flesh in the wind (euph').

Anyone tried these?

The gloves that eone sent to me here are a bit too big to be useful so I'm offering them back up if anyone wants them? They are orange Defeet e touch gloves in XL. Same deal: forum donation in each for the gloves. PM if you want them.

cant find these online, does anyone know anywhere that stocks them? merino and high viz sounds like a winning combo

Hey people, I need some advice.

I got really shitfaced last weekend and lost my Endura Deluge winter gloves, pretty bad move considering it's now freezing but they were a bit crap anyway.

I'm now thinking of going for a glove combo; maybe along the lines of some substantial merino gloves, then a light but waterproof glove to go on top if it starts raining or gets really super mad cold.

It's mostly for cold mornings on the commute but on the weekend I'm usually on the bike for hours.

Does anyone have recommendations?

None of them work. Abandon hope.

Bad luck. Yes, read the thread.

Despite wearing two pairs of gloves yesterday, my fingers froze to the point of pain within an hour of cycling, with more pain whilst 'defrosting'. En route home via Westminster, had to divert to Victoria to get a train home to Balham. Am now charging batteries for the heated gloves :-(

Try the Craft lobsters, honestly - they were game-changers for me.

The pic made me laugh. Of no practical use tho.

Thanks Dammit, I'll take a look at them now.

I've also had the defeat merino gloves after seeing them on here when they first came out. Unfortunately with regular use I found they unstitched and pretty much fell apart half way through the winter.

If it saves the life of only one lobster, it will have done its job.

Prendas Air Tunnel are all you'll ever need.

Bought a pair of those last year (on your indirect recommendation, iirc). They were game-stay-the-samers for me, but i am awaiting a delivery of the next two sizes up. They might work better.

I bought a pair of those two years ago. QED.

They do need to be large enough so that your fingers don't press on the fabric constantly - i.e. your fingertips pressing on the ends of the dual-fingers, or the cold will transmit straight across.

Decided to ramp it up for this winter now that I've switch full time to the winter tank (mtb) and rode in this morning with ski gloves inside pogies. Only the temps raised and it was 6 degrees. Hot hands! Still, better than cold and I'm insterested to see how they hold up once it drops to 0 and below.
