Winter gloves

Anybody tried the Gore windproof gloves? Seems to be the biggest downfall of all the gloves I've owned so far (endura strike, altura night vision ete)

Anyone tried these?

Yep. Read the previous page.

:P

but then it said suitable for 10c. Meh.

good summer glove then....

Found a pair of these in Austria last winter, almost gave them away (i wear mits on the mountain) dug them out though as they are not too bulky and thought they might suit cycling.

Result, they are very warm, pretty weather resistantish and very comfortable.

Available in black also, large size here on ebay for £30 http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/270864987867?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

I might try my mitts for cycling. Much as I like my Endura Lobster jobbies. I simply cant get them on with damp hands. So if I need to take one off to answer the phone, I'm fecked. The perfect solution would be a phone I could answer while by smashing it against my helmet or something. Surely there's an app for that.

what about silk glove liners? or some other type of glove liners?

I found mitts awkward as you can't 2 finger brake.

Silk glove liners from Decathlon from cycling or skiing sections will transform any glove into a furnace for £5.

The fleece liner of the Enduras is a sewn in. Its a full five finger liner, which is pretty tight fitting on my sausage fingers. I have a suspected* broken thumb knuckle. So putting them on is'nt exactly nice, even with dry hands.

(*waiting untill the new year to get X-rays)

i just meant a silk liner would make glove easier to get on and off, and you could keep it on while answering the phone. But not if your gloves are a neat fit, don't want to be restricting circulation.

Definitely recommend those burtons, they've got a fleece lining and everything... but then worst i've had them in so far is just below 0 (hands were roasting) and I know where you are things get a little cooler than that....

I just bought a pair of these after annoyingly losing my other winter gloves bargain price and are really nice looking gloves which seem to be entirely wind proof so far, although I will be adding a pair of the trusty decathlon liners when it gets much colder.

I've tried loads of gloves, from thin woollen pound-shop all the way up to the massive ski-type. I've found the later tend to keep me warm but the main problem is a complete lack of dexterity.

If I have to stop to sort anything on the bike, or answer my phone, it tends to be a very long process; by the time I've removed by gloves I've missed the call. Thus far this Autumn/Winter I've remedied this by just riding in thin gloves for short periods of time at a high-intensity level to keep warm, but I don't always want to do that.

My bar mitts arrived yesterday and, although I haven't ridden in properly cold temperatures yet (I think it was about 4°C tonight), I've been able to ride with no gloves and warm hands, just spinning along. Yup, they look pretty stupid and take a bit of time to take on and off (I might try and put a few temporary stitches though the velcro loop which secures them to the bar to make them somewhat theft-proof), but they are warm.

Been using the Gore Countdown gloves.

Cold temperatures can cause the skin on my fingers to crack and itch like a bitch. I've been on what feels like an endless search to find a good pair of gloves and I've finally settled on these.

Slightly bulkier that most but that's my only complaint! Nice and grippy, comfortable, velcro feels good and secure, yet to give in to water and have never felt too warm or sweaty in them. There's also some really soft material for wiping your nose which, until using these, I've thought of as a bit of a novelty.

J.Dennis... can't see them being stolen and sold down brick lane with teh Brooksies.... you should be safe.

I've had it with cold hands, after screaming agony after a 2.5 hour ride today as my hands warmed up I've bought a pair of Spec. sub zero half lobster jobbies from evans with 10% off, hope they live up to their reputation.

after sweating far too much in a cheap pair of DHB neoprene jobbies I splashed out and got some castelli nano something or other. I don't get super cold hands like it seems many people, these have been perfect so far this winter with nice thin leather palms and seems pretty windproof, which is basically all I need. have some liners for when the snow starts but at the moment they're great.

40 miles in the rain today, and by the end of it my fingers were so painful I could not fully pull the brake levers, and had to ask someone else to undo my helmet strap as my fingers were too numb to do it.

Silk liners inside SealSkinz waterproof gloves.

However- the ends of the fingers are all "tight" against my fingers, so I am going to try much looser gloves to see if keeping better circulation might be a help here.

This has worked well with my shoes- I was doing them up too tightly I think.

Winter gloves in general should not be tight. Feels great in the shop, but out in the cold they insulate far less than a pair with a little air at the tips.

It was pretty miserable for the last 10 miles, I was cycling along thinking "it cannot be impossible to have warm hands in these conditions", one thing that would explain it would be if I were wearing gloves that are far too tight.

I've been using these on my commute. They work: warm and dry hands in snow and sleet. Catch the wind a bit though...

I've broken 4 fingers over the last few years. The 3 on my right hand suffer agonisingly in the winter.

My lobstewr gloves seem to cope well. But I'm looking at snowmobile pogies as a more comfortable solution.

I don't rate the Sealskins at all; Defeet Duras seem to be as warm as them for most dry conditions, they don't breath very well and Altura Shields keep my hands drier in foul weather.

Popped into the (only) bike shop in Winchester, to have space in the glove for my thumb and index finger I need XXL. Who knew?
