Winter gloves

really gonna get serious about the subject...when its minus 10, sheet hail and tornado blizzard conditions this is the system i use and has always served me well

@hats: look for gloves for people with Raynaud's.. properly toasty. for instance these look amazing...

I've been using Sealskinz Ultra Grip with silk liners, and still finding them a bit cold. I've ordered some Gore Power SO gloves, they seem a bit warmer, are windproof, and with a silk liner should be grand. I'll report back.

^^ Those do look awesome. Onto the xmas list they go...

^^ Plus there are these http://www.blazewear.com/heated-gloves.html

I have Raynauds and find once it gets REALLY cold skiing gloves with a silk liner are my friend.

As an aside, lost the feeling in my fingers a few weeks ago when the cold took me but surprise but going home along a really shitty, bumpy, knobbly road got the circulation going and my fingers back to life. Literally cool story bro.

Battery operated heated gloves!!!!

All I can think of is Hillary and Tenzing with their layered up primitive gloves conquering Mount Everest and then Little Lord Fauntleroy prancing around the snow dusted courtyard wearing battery operated heated gloves, only to run inside and have the maid pour hot sweetened milk into his delicate bone china cup so he can sip it in front of the roaring fire whilst his favourite dog, Royal, sleeps by his side and his butler, Chelms, quietly reads him nursery rhymes.

If anyone has a pair of right hand large sealskinz and would like to trade. I have 2 left but would like a right.

@ sorethroat - clearly you don't suffer from Raynaud's. HTFU is no help with poor circulation. Believe me, I've tried over the years and have lots of gloves to prove it.

My heated gloves come out to play when the temp drops to 2 degrees and below. Above that, it's a combination of liners plus main gloves.

These are the business. Mine fell apart from use but got them refunded.
Keep my hands warm and dry, sub 0, or pissing it down.
Will get moist from hand sweat if warm though, but all good waterproof gloves will.

Ahhh sorry I didn't realise we were talking about Raynauds.
My old man has that, his hands look blue most of the time.

I've got these, wore them this morning, bought warmer gloves at lunch.

That said I wore them through last winter and was ok, but this morning my fingers started to lose all feeling.

From memory they are startlingly expensive

I find Sealskins fine for cold and dry weather but once they get wet in the cold the windchill makes them useless.

£48, cheapest. We're a present though.
Never had cold fingers in them myself.

Well, if someone is interested in my Skinny-gloves-of-choice in XXXL (fits normal sized man hands) let me know.

Lol I've only got Ls and they're a good fit.

am struggling to work out the solution to this problem

spent all day outdoors teaching and my fingers were frozen

is there an outer goretex (or similar) shell that you can add to your normal gloves for cold/wet days. layering tends to be the best solution for clothing issues so was wondering if anyone can suggest something.

I got the larger size to have a layer of air around my fingers, they are a little baggy compared to my other gloves.

I got tanked and lost one of my winter gloves. I thought I'd try and ride to work gloveless, after 2 minutes my hands felt like blocks of ice so I turned round and cycled to the station. If anybody has one of the planet x wind stopper gloves in a medium, let me know (must be left hand)

You two should totally meet!!

Yeah, you'll have odd gloves and look a bit special. But you'll be warm!

Huzzah for those Sealskinz lobster stylee mittens. I recently bought a pair, and they're pretty bloody warm.

They've only dipped into chilly this past few weeks, during weather that would have cut straight through my old gloves in no time at all.

Not tried them in the wet yet, but in the cold they've really hit the spot.

The lobster, everytime you raised your hand, you're either giving a peace sign or telling people to jog on.

I need lobster gloves. I just love how they look. They're like more practical mittens, and I **love **mittens.

A word of warning on the cheap planet x gloves - cheap for a good reason...
