Cool (but not freezing) Weather Full Finger Gloves

[Reynard]

Can anyone recommend a solution?

Was wearing some full finger lycra gloves with suede palms when riding this afternoon. The gloves are nowt special, just a pair of basic Muddy Fox jobbies I bought when I got back into cycling last year. They're fine during the day at the moment, but once the sun went down, my hands got really cold.

Now I do have some of the fleece lined, wind and waterproof Altura jobbies. They're absolutely brilliant when it's freezing, but right now they're just a mite too toasty.

Is there a decent cool weather glove on the market that sits somewhere in between what I've currently got?

Or would I be better off buying a cheap pair of fleece gloves to wear over the lycra ones?

Thoughts / experiences would be welcome.

Specialized BG ridge for me but depends on how cold your hands get

Decathlon have quite a good range of gloves

I`m still in fingerless gloves, don`t have a problem.

Only once it gets less than about -5 do I get the "winter" gloves out

Cripes @iateyoubutler I switched to full finger gloves in September...

I had been thinking Decathlon @vickster - might be worth popping in and taking a look. When I dropped in last month to grab a couple of fleeces, they still didn't have the cold weather gear on display.

I use Lidl ski gloves. A bit less than £6 a pair. It's not going to be financial ruin if they don't suit you. Give them a go.

BTW, the figs will just adore them.

Full on winter gloves are too much for me. I like the Endura gloves for a happy medium.

Cheap fleece gloves over fingerless padded gloves do me until it really gets cold.

-5 you have to be joking . Abominable snow man or what.

@Reynard why not take a look at this very recent thread of mine https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/in-really-cold-conditions-are-mitts-better-than-gloves.225862/

I've got some of these from Polaris which are an excellent bridge between mitts and full winter gloves:

Plus if it gets really cold you can use them as liner gloves too.

While not cycling specific or particually pretty, but not ugly either, the best chilly weather gloves I ever had for cycling were some Swedish Air Force pilots gloves from a military surplus shop for £10 (used but good condition)
Soft grey leather, well made, with a thin but very effective fleece lining. I had mine for commuting and they lasted about 5 years, I miss those gloves.

Not good enough for the winter but a great Spring/Autumn glove

Another vote for Decathlon, I have the 900 series gloves for really cold winter days and a mid weight cold weather glove (500 I think) for when it's not quite freezing.

My favourites are some roubaix lined windproof Decathlon gloves - unfortunately, they were an end of line item, but they are excellent. The 500 "Mid Season Glove" looks similar, but doesn't have the nifty reflective print on the backs.

DeFeet Dura glove. Accept no imitations.
