Winter gloves

Yeah.

yeah, they're really good.

I wish they did those merino gloves in neon pink :(

Rapha Winter gloves are reduced from £85 to £50 in the sale. I really suffer with cold fingers, does anyone know if they're any good? I have some really good merino liners i could wear under them too

Since it finally dipped below 0 this morning and my full-finger gloves are more 'hole' than glove it's time to buy another pair. I still have my toasty warm Spesh semi-lobsters for longer stuff but I want thinner normal 5-finger gloves for the commute.

Any reason I shouldn't just buy the cheap shit from Planet-X given that the gloves I'm looking at replacing are about 15 year old Tuff gloves from Australia and have almost no insulation.

My planet X gloves self destructed almost immediately after receiving them.

I'd just get a pair of heavily reduced mtb gloves if you don't need epic insulation.

i am commuting in seal skinz lobsters and they're pretty good. For non lobster winter gloves i'd look at the prendas ones

Same here, the Planet X ones I got cheap started to come apart very quickly.

I bought a fair bit of PX kit a while back to replace some trashed winter kit. Ended up digging the trashed stuff back out.

Link?

For £8 these are basically disposable. Let's see how they stand up to hippybuse.

Get defeet merino innit.

They all now have the touch shit on them. I lost my non touch pair.

The touch pairs are different and not so nice fit. Me thinks.

I found them pretty much the same, I lost about 3 pairs last year.

Most expensive cheap gloves ever.

The size chart on always riding was wrong when I ordered a couple of months ago, worth checking the defeet sites chart before ordering

The touch Defeets seem to have a much tighter elastic in the wristband and they always snug up a bit after the first wash.

Really?

I found them to feel not so nice, and that the fit was different. Instead of fitting like a glove, they were baggy around the palm. But tight on fingers. And tight on the cuff.

Plus they might be e-touch, but use your phone and before you can unlock the screen it'll be sliding out of your hand.

There's always some.

These protect your knuckles. Presumably when punching idiots car windows.

I want the carbon-knuckled motocross gloves for that.

I have a pair of the orange Defeet e touch gloves in XL going spare. Not merino but free in return for a small forum donation (which is how I received them). PM if you want them.

Edit: Gone now.

I had the old non touch merino but lost a glove, so got the same size in touch variety. I am the opposite, found the fit much better for the etouch. The old one bagged up under my palm but new does not.

Wonder if they changed design recently? Mine were a year and bit old.

Oakley factory pilot gloves are what you want for that. Most popular glove for american army shooty gun men. I've commuted in a pair for ages and they rule / make an almighty racket when tapped on a car window...

I have never been a SKHM but have not had issues with cold hands. Since last year, my left hand gets hold whatever gloves I have on, whilst my right-hand remains toasty warm.

Circulation issue I presume. With my old age are my arteries clogging up? Is the beginning of the end?

Do you have a bag on?
Do your clothes restrict movement on the left side more than the right?
