Winter gloves

these look interesting, especially the claim about increased grip when wet.

perfect for the bare steel trackbar riders out there :)

hah, I don't want to imagine how cold a bare steel bar feels at freezing temperatures.

I spent some time trying on some gloves yesterday. I ended up getting the Sealskinz all weather version (not the winter version) and made sure my merino inners would fit nicely. This felt equivalently warm to the winter version with similar overall bulk.

(I've already got some lobster gloves for -5 or worse, wasn't too worried about that end of the temperature range - more the 0-10C wet conditions that windstopper+merino doesn't cope with too well)

wore a pair of these: [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000UFOOZM/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B003SD9A52&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0PZQ19MG58HVJG5TSB7J"]Sealskinz Ultragrip Waterproof Glove: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Leisure[/ame]

this morning with thin thermal jogging gloves underneath. Fucking useless. Might have well just not worn any gloves at all. If you want warmth at 0 degrees and below then DONT buy these.

Anyone reccomend some more gloves which will work at 0 and below?

I recently bought some Endura 'windproof' gloves. Fucking rubbish: not windproof, and the grip started rubbing off on day two.

I've got the older version of these.

Hard to think why you'd be out if it's too cold for them. Will do -5 at 20 mph and still keep the pinkies warm.

I've been using the Endura "waterproof" Strikes for a few weeks... Seem OK but I don't think they're very waterproof (certainly not when inspecting heathland plant cover on a rainy day). Also the lining always wants to come out with your hands when you take them off, which is almost impossible to put back in.
(Just checked some reviews that mostly say the same... 'cold wet sponge' etc.)
Do not recommend.

If you can find them.
I use Endura Tundra Lobster gloves. Warm as they come, with no extra liner (there is a built in liner). Currently -7 to -9 in the mornings, yet hands nice and toastie.

Just dont put them on, and then remember you have'nt locked the door.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCC.....

I just bought some Altura Night Vision winter gloves, I will let people know how they are

im trying ski gloves, they should be good for this weather. problem with using a road bike is that the mittens obstruct the gear levers, so full finger gloves are a must. I will update when i get some.

in searching i found these, Specialized Sub Zero. £20, for 2 gloves; outer (windproof and waterproof) and liner, both of which you can use individually in need be.
Seems to have pretty decent reviews.

just ordered a pair, will let you know how they are, pretty good deal.

That is a good deal. Look a lot like ski gloves, so should be toasty.

I ride with drop bars and hoods, and find the lobster style fine. have bar-end shfters though.

I think that you are spot on with the ski glove theoy. My endura's are nearly identical in construction as my Vans snowboard gloves, which are the best have owned. The separate (or at least one that able to be pulled out) liner allows you to move your fingers withing the stiffer outer. This helps you keep warm. It also allows you to dry them in a reasonable time.

I've been using my snowboard "pipe" gloves which have silicon fingertips. Super warm
and great for grip. Get some!

Speaking of ski gloves....I've been using these recently. They're normally my winter work-that-requires-some-dexterity gloves but they're pretty good on the bike as well.

These look interesting for days when you need that bit extra...

I think ski gloves are definitely the way to go in this weather, I got these today and had toasty warm hands on the ride home. They're women-specific too, so fit my tiny hands without being bulky (they don't have any annoying extra material at the finger tips). They're waterproof, windproof, breathable, and have leather palms and finger pads, £28.

That extra bit at the finger tips is helping keep you warm. Smaller gloves feel nicer in the shop, and offer better use of your hands. But a slightly bigger size is warmer.

Well, I hate to disagree but I was thinking how glad I was that there wasn't the flappy fingers tips this morning when I was cycling in to work - being able to feel fiddly buckles to clip/unclip and shift gears in them was great. It was -2ºC and fingers were still lovely and warm, so they're working out fine for me at the moment, buy I guess YMMV.

The lobster mitts look ace - Would be great to stop your little finger getting so cold.
Plus they have room to move.
I use skiing gloves and they work great except taking them off when your hands are sweaty is not fun. I guess they are designed to be put on once a day and not 5 or 6 times. by the middle of the day the liner tries to pull out the fingers . PITA to get back in when you are in a hurry.
