Winter gloves

#dadjoke

Do you guys still rate the Defeet Merino? Someone robbed my Endura Deluge gloves last week and I'm not sure I want something quite as solid/shit.

I've just ordered another pair.

Winstanlys have em for 15 quid a pair. Just recieved some to replace the one I lost last weekend :(

Anyone tried the Prendas Air Tunnel gloves?

@bashthebox yes - I bought a pair last winter. My fingers really suffer in cold weather and these work a treat. I use them with a pair of silk liners (ebay -£5) because they are slightly primitive in construction and the seams inside are bulky. They are really very good if a little stiff at first.

I meant to add, that the fit is odd and coupled with the stiffness of the fabric was a bit off-putting at first. Stick with them, they're excellent.

Ok, interesting. It says to size down, have you found that?

The e-touch ones are not the same as non e-touch. The cut and material feels different. I don't like them.

I have some of the e-touch in orange size XL if anyone wants them for a small forum donation. They were £4 from always riding but they're too big

^^Will check what size I have later and get back to you.

Yes, interested in these. Will PM you.

Does anyone know of actually waterproof gloves? Apart from Neoprene which kind of works, all I've tried are shit and soak through after a couple of hours.

I'm of the opinion nothing is waterproof after a couple of hours heavy rain (as thoroughly tested on a night ride to the coast a few years back). Carry spare gloves etc, with a plastic bag to put the wet items in.

My sealskin socks get wet after enough rain...they still keep the heat in, so I don't care.

Not sure about the sealskin gloves as I haven't cycled for hours in them. Waterproof/resistant ones do seem to be very warm in general, so on milder days it's hard to know what to pick :)

I have to agree with you about 2 hours of rain destroys anything but I guess I still had a glimmer of hope. Being a courier, carrying spare gloves and stuff like that just complicates my day even more. Neoprene gloves seemed to work really well in the worst but once you take them off, takes a bit of time for them to warm up, they stink horribly if you don't wash them every day and they give you raisin fingers.

Could try something GoreTex but will probably be pricey:

A powertip for GoreTex according to my travels to buy stuff is:

TKMAXX (old lines but good)
E-bay (older stock)
If you can avoid cyclist stuff...do so, strange enough running or walking kit can be cheaper often.
Gore Bikewear gloves are so-so.. avoid

Does anyone have any experience with Sealskinz dragoneye gloves? Warm enough for winter?

Depends on you. Some of us are happy with a pair of defeets all winter and be warm as toast, and some of us (me) need space grade gloves to get by.

What's a full finger glove that works in temps of 0 - 10 degrees (depends a bit on the person, I know) but also has padding on the palms like a mitt? I have a pair of these but they are slowy deconstructing and get uncomfortable on longer rides...
