Winter gloves

^ Riding mainly in/around London, so whatever winter decides to do next I guess. I have poor circulation and wear full fingered gloves for all but about 3 months of the year.

For colder(subjective I know) conditions I'd go with a combination of merino liner gloves+windproof outer glove with enough room for the inner glove(room for circulation) and finally risers with foam grips.
That way the cold won't come through the grips/tape either.

I have a good circulation(even better after quitting smoking) and found out that merino liners with leather keirin gloves were enough to withstand about 3hours in over -10°c in windy contitions..
If you get warmer gloves, don't spend that much time outside and have temperatures above +0° I think you'll be fine.

5h in rain in my neoprene b-twins. Super. Dry and warm all day.

Wicked glove. That and the wollie boolie is all you need.
Merino liner too if it's proper cold. But wollie boolies are warm.

So now I need new winter gloves. What's the consensus?

Kati is exactly the same as you, resorted to using those electric heated glove.

She tried out the Endura Nemo glove (neoprene) and suddenly very happy, she doesn't even mind it getting a bit sweaty.

They come with free Death Stench. Warm though.

death stench a small price to pay to avoid the very distracting cold numb finger syndrome that ruins rides in rain

I put my gloves down while locking up last night and forgot to pick them up - by the time I realised, they were long gone. Riding home gloveless was horrible, I made it just over a mile before I lost feeling in several fingers.

So now I need new winter gloves. What's the consensus? I don't want very expensive ones, as did I mention I just managed to lose my last ones... I need something warmer than the defeet woolly ones/sealskinz all weather/whatever else I've tried.

Don't know how anti Sealskinz you feel but they have a sale on at the moment: http://www.sealskinz.com/UK/outlet

Are they the 7 Rain ones or the 2MM?

Thanks for all the advice peeps. I've ordered some nemo's. Bring on the death stench...

Have to say those giro/cinelli gloves are the most comfortable I have ever worn. I might wear them to bed. #glovefetish

I'm not riding my bike until my new gloves turn up. My hands hurt so much from the cold last night. Utterly miserable, I’d rather run to work and be miserable (but warm!) in a different way.

My bf recently got some neoprene gloves and they've caused a really nasty eczema flare up. His hands are in a right state. Has anyone else had this? How can this be avoided?

Is it exzema, or something to do with sweat? I know neoprene doesn't breath at all so it might be something cause by not allowing the sweat to dissipate?

(which is ironic that you could get heat rash from winter gloves)

When I was younger I used to get a rash on my chest from those foam float/board things you get in swimming pools, no idea why but I had to wear tshirts to stop it!

Which give me an idea - why not try a thin silk liner to keep the neoprene off his skin?

It might be a yeast issue.
I have to use an anti yeast shampoo on my chest/back as i get lots of little red dots from the sweat. the sweat increse growth of yeast on the skin so using the shampoo kills it off. I was recommeneded this by a dermatologist and it works great.

@JDP, not sure, just the standard ones from decathlon
Actually looked, these ones. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/neoprene-gloves-2-mm-id_8292141.html

I'll say it again, defeet woolie boolies are amazing. In the drizzle today and hand's didn't get wet at all and stayed warm in 2 degrees. Such great performance for a thin glove.

It is definitely eczema. I get heat rash and while it's really annoying, it's nothing like this (pretty awful) eczema..

I've never heard of pool floats causing a rash before! Swimming lessons must have been WAY more fun wearing a tshirt.

I'll get him to try silk liners, I have a couple of pairs so I'll lend him my less minging ones.

I googled anti-yeast shampoo and got loads of dog shampoos! I'll order a human one and see if that helps.

I ordered some defeet gloves as well as neoprene ones, based on the rave reviews on this thread. WEAR ALL THE GLOVES.

I love my defeet, as long it doesn't dip below 5 degrees.

@ed
I must have thicker skin. Good down below 0.
Hands might be cold at start, but will warm up soon.

@hats.
I get mine from boots, their own brand. It's the odd ingredient you need.

I really rate the Defeet gloves, also- however i think Scoble and Skinny are rating them capable of a lower temperature than I would personally feel happy wearing then at.

Amazeballs, thank you!

I think you and I have similarly poor circulation - at what point do you reckon it's too cold for these? (I don't know why I'm asking really, I could just wait until mine arrive and see for myself)

Ref; I use the Defeet when I went skiing, it's start to get too cold to warm up at -5.

The Nemo will be very warm, the odd sizing mean you need to go at least a size bigger, I sincerely feel you'll be happy with the Nemo, and the Defeet when it's warmer.

Just grabbed a well used pair of these off the Bay for £20 or so. Not an item I've needed up here so much in the past. But with the recent dry road bike friendly winter weather we've had. I thought I'd try a pair out.

I'm a chump who paid full price, didn't think to look on ebay. That said, they're cracking, very warm, definitely haven't needed the liners.

defeet gloves are great but wouldn't wear them below 0 without a liner (or two). my goto glove when it's dry

anyone looking for wet weather gloves shd srsly just buy the 10£ lomo neoprene gloves

Add 10 degrees to ScobleTemp and you have reality.

5 deg C over here is positively balmy.

Hmm, I'm exactly between the small and medium size per the Lomo website. Any advice on how these gloves fit?
