Winter gloves

get the larger size, you always want a bit of space in gloves.

My g/f bought some fox anti-freeze on my recommendation which she is very happy with. Personally I've found the liners from the fox gloves used with the spesh element's is a good combo.

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

go a size up. they fit tight on account of being designed for diving

Cheers, unfortunately they've only got XL in stock at the moment it turns out.

All this talk about the Lomo gloves, I wonder if these might be appropriate given the current weather ...

Cycle swimming!

Or Triathlon, as it 's also known.

my lomos met their match today at 1 degree, in snow and rain. couldn't feel my fingers at the cafe stop. think some cold water had gotten in and couldn't get out

were OK on the return leg after the driving rain and snow had gone off. would still thoroughly recommend them. defeets wd've been miserable today

Cycle Surgery have 40% off SealSkinz gloves just now (think they were £45 before).

these castelli leggenda gloves are crap.

give me sweaty hands in all conditions

These are £12 over at Merlin.

£22 here: http://www.alwaysriding.co.uk/castelli-diluvio-deluxe-glove-1938.html

Evans cyles are having a decent sale on their site atm. Lost my gloves a few weeks ago so I bought Specialized Mesta wool liners and BG deflect gloves, £33 for the lot

What are the liners like?

I have some nice black gore wind stopper gloves size xxl eu10 fit more like xl
These have built in detachable mittens that make them into lobster type gloves
New with the wind stopper tag attached , thought I'd lost them but they re-appeared when I moved They are really warm but surplus to requirement pm for pics £30 if anyone wants them

The liners are pretty good quality, pretty amazing actually for the price. I'd recommend them, buy em, give them a try and if you don't like them you can always return them. As long as you make it look like they haven't been used obviously

Talking of liners...

Swedish brand Hestra produce great stuff. You can pick their stuff up in ski shops.

Switched back to mitts today, gloves are too smelly.

Question: I've always just had cheap non cycling specific gloves, but I'm considering buying some decent giro/rapha mitts, do people tend to wear fleecey gloves over the top of decent mitts? is that a thing? or do you have totally seperate gloves for winter

(im talking like 5-10 degree conditions not like deep winter)

What the?! It's like England's equivalent of summer out there and you're asking about winter gloves?

Separate winter gloves btw

Mainly because i am begrudged to spend lots of money on gloves that I can only wear a few months a year!

Luckily for you, winter lasts for fucking ages even down here in the south, so you'll still get plenty of wear out of your winter gloves.

Rogan. These + some ski liners are probably all you'll ever need. Not waterproof but what is?

They're 9/10ths the glove my £50 Gore gloves are. Being cheap I don't mind using them daily and to destruction.

fairs, cheers all
