Winter gloves

Have a look in good outdoor shops as gloves designed for mountains tend to be more robust imo. Esp look for Ice Climbing specific as they have quite a thin palm to grip the, ahem , shaft. They're often backed with really warm and windproof materials.

I have some lovely Montane ones thst have a thick pile back covered in some sort of Pertex/Cordura fabric. Loads of dexterity and bastard warm too.

got a couple of pairs of these, as replacements for defeet duragloves. seem pretty nice - and roubaix-lined. not ridden yet (and always found defeet dgs very good in spring/autumn and dry winter). they were also pretty good in light showers... proof will be in the pudding with these I guess

What are people using for midweight gloves for these autumn days?

I got the Rapha ones last year which were good material, weight etc but the stitching has come undone, which isn't great. Hence looking elsewhere...

Thinking of maybe Castelli perfeto? Maap? Any real life experiences?

Have a whinge to Rapha. They might replace them FOC?

Thank me later 8-)

They're a good deal aren't they! Kind of a shame about the white stripes but I can probably live with that for the money, thanks for the tip

Yeah I'll ask, but reckon I need something for the interim anyway and I'm not clear my chances as it's been a year.

Disappointing from Rapha, it's in a couple of places too

I'm sure someone on here works for Rapha? More knowledgeable forumengers can probably point you in that direction?

Rab phantom grip

Polartec wind pro hardface, fantastic material for gloves. Water resistant, very breathable, windproof, and warm when wet.

I wear my MTB gloves in those temps, Giro Privateers. The rubber thingies on the thumb wore off quite quickly but they're perfect besides that.

I've been using 3mm neoprene gloves (the Castelli Diluvio). Rated 5°+ but I still get cold these days in the morning (also the seams are not super resistant and need to be sewed again…). :(

Anyone has something warmer to recommend?

I'm a huge fan of the Sealskinz lobster mitts. Toasty 50minutes this morning.

Ha - snap. Mine were almost too warm this morning!

The only downside (other than looking kinda mad) is being almost unable to do anything other than ride a bike whilst wearing them. I had to take them off after three failed attempts at putting a key in a padlock this morning.

The "waterproof shell" layer for my Dissent 133 gloves came today. It seems pretty waterproof but my hands hurt this morning coming in at -1. The gloves are only rated to 0 on their website but still. It gets below zero all the time.

Might get lobster mitts.

My hands are cold inside the above gloves and I'm sick of it. Bought some RAB liner gloves which help a bit but I'm sick of worrying about it. Thinking of lobster mitts. Had a search through the thread but could only find lukewarm reviews of the planetX ones. Any other recommendations? I have plenty of options down to about 5 degrees, I just want a bulletproof solution for when it's going to be -5 > temp < +5

Craft do a very good lobster glove.

seconded, very good for the price.

GripGrab. I have a pair of their warmest waterproof ones and I rarely wear them as it's rarely cold enough, they do a lobster that is warmer still.
Whatever you buy don't buy them too tight as a bit of trapped warm air makes a big difference.

It's either pogies or down mitts.

I've got the PX lobster mitts - they're seriously bl**dy warm. Main issue is hands can overheat and sweat a bit if you're putting in any serious effort - and drying them out again is a bit of a pain in the proverbials. But for the price that's fine tbh. Main thing is they're warm.

I prefer to keep my hands cold rather than vaguely hot.

I got some GripGrabs recently and I really like them. I've actually found them too warm in the run-up to Christmas. They're not as warm as the really warm ones I have, but much warmer than the torn old gloves I replaced with them.

I demand that no one in this thread talks about how warm anything is without reference to at least temperature, but preferably including windchill and exertion.

I have been eyeing these up... how waterproof are they?

What are other options for a waterproof non-lobster glove?

Ideally want to keep my hands dry all day, but from last experience will accept half a day before breaching (can get 2 pairs)

Mine haven't wet through, but I haven't tried cycling through more than 1 commute worth of rain (30 minutes)
