The Sealskinz lobsters are fucking toasty! Got slightly sweaty hands at about 1-2° today. I'd say the warmth is comparable to my pogies but much more comfortable to wear. I reckon they'll be good down to pretty much any temperature we're likely to get in the UK.
So far I've only used them with my flat bar fixed gear and flat bar cargo bike with twisty gears and the reduced dexterity over a regular glove hasn't been an issue with either. I'll give them a go on my road bike tomorrow. So far they're looking like a great buy!
Edit: not so great on the road bike. I struggled to find a comfy hand position that still allowed me to use the brakes. Not too bad but not ideal.
