  • I've had exactly the opposite experience; socks brilliant, gloves useless. Or useless until I wore a thin cotton liner glove with them. Was talking to Emilia yesterday who'd been wearing SealSkinz socks for the first time; a wet day and she was raving about how warm and dry her feet were. Sealskinz socks are popular with couriers and they tend to go with what works. Water can run down your leg in to them when the cuffs stretch a bit but wearing tights over the top stops this. But even if it does they keep the wind out so well that I've still had wet but warm feet.
    My hands rarely get cold, usually get through winter with just cotton gloves or thin wool gloves (the Brikos are good) over my mitts. Have a pair of Cannondale branded Lobster gloves which are almost always too hot and are very cumbersome.

    With my 'in-built insulation' the only bits that suffer are feet (lots) and hands (a bit).
    Sounds like a pretty good reason to try some of these Seal Skinz. Do I have to club my own?
