Winter gloves

The cyclone's are definitely not warm enough for very cold days, too thin. Unless you have asbestos fingers...

I've found the cyclones fine for late autumn/mild winter days, but on bitterly cold days like today you really need pair of £5 decathlon liners underneath them

'er indoors has the cyclones. they are NOT warm enough without glove liners.

All depends on your definition of a very cold day of course, but with glove liners yes, plus means you can make one pair of gloves last throughout the winter (just fancied treating myself to some very very toasty gloves, will probably be wearing them off the bike in Berlin too shortly).

No they're barriers. Cycle Surgery are doing them for £35 at the moment down from £44, I got the last pair in the Holborn branch but they might have them elsewhere. Still seem to have all sizes online:

Nicely made, really thick and windproof and have carbon leather palms made by some company in Yeovil. Am thinking British leather is probably a good thing...

Fox, are the ones in your picture Cyclones or not?

Whatever gloves I had on yesterday, they are not warm enough.. I was going to hunt for some inners or maybe thicker/more windproof gloves.

Mad Cow Gloves

Gore Bike Wear windstopper gloves+silk glove liners=fingers too frozen to get change out of my pocket to pay for coffee this morning.

^ Coffee thief.

Fortunately I was able to grasp the cabbage and chicken that I had in my bag, and rather than paying used the barter economy which has been thriving in Waterloo since the financial crisis hit.

So has anyone got gloves that are working in this cold - just got some Gore Countdowns yesterday and I still felt the cold this morning... not bad, but for £45 I was hoping for proper toasty fingertips?

my descente's are the nuts.

think that's them.

I found and wore the Windstopper gloves I'd bought in Oz 5 years ago. They worked far better than the shitty neoprene style ones I bought here last year. Travelling 10kph slower for 3 hours less probably helps too.

I've actually got a pair of "mid weight" Windstoppers already... reckon I'd be better off using these with some liners? I don't mind spending the dosh, I just want some "definitive" mid-winter finger warmers rather than having to buy something that nearly works every other year...

My Pearl Izumi barriers (further up the thread) are working out very nicely, lovely and toasty.

I looked at the Countdowns and decided they were too thin for me.

Cycle Surgery were closed last night and the outdoors store were charging £20 for merino liners and £7 for too-small synthetic liners so I gave up. In town it seems ok with just the windstopper gloves (although these are old and tired and have holes in them). Out of town for longer stuff I need something more.. just not sure if I should go for a liner or wear the Thinsulate woolly-type gloves over the windstoppers.. So much material and it's almost as if your hands were numb anyway.

Try heading over to Decathlon one evening hippy for cheap glove liners. they close about 20:00 ish 10 min from London bridge.

I have a cheap pair of thinsulate gloves I put over my usual thin cycling gloves. super warm in town, been out for several hours out of town too but it does make you hand bulky probably not the best solution though if you have small hands as gripping the bars may be difficult.

I have big hands.. tricky find gloves that fit.. I tend to tear the ends out of them. I really don't like full finger gloves but they're a bit of a necessity here. :S

I might try and escape to Decathlon one night and see what they have. Cheers.

I use a glove very similar to these which I got a few years back. If anything they are too warm and hands are sweaty when taking them off! Used them all over New Year with temps in the negative C and they were still fine. Feel like ski gloves though so don't go thinking you will be able to pick your nose with them on...

Hippo - if you do go to decathlon could you pick me up a pair of liners in size L please

I'm just using cheap ski gloves, but they're working really well... barely have cold fingers by the time I'm home.

Think about: They're made for temperatures much lower than this, they're made with wind chill in mind, they're waterproof.

The ones I have were £20 or £30 a year or two ago, and whilst they're very spacious and do have a bit of movement inside (the liner moves) they're perfectly good to ride in.

Sure.

I've been riding in these Sealskinz road gloves recently and can't recommend them enough. Pretty much waterproof too.

my winter gloves are made by dents (one of the last glove makers in the UK)

my dad lives in the town with their factory so i get the factory rejects

current pair are black leather and fur lined (rabbit/chinchilla or similar) they were about 25 quid

they fucking rock

and i feel entitled to commit acts of extreme depravity when wearing fur lined black leather rapist gloves

warminster?

ooo aarr

but how be you knowin that kind of shet ?

(all said whilst sounding a little like wiesia)

lady sunset's folks live in the deverill valley, about a mile or two away.
i have dents gloves too.
