Deep Winter Gloves

[DogmaStu]

That's not a bad idea although it means you double up the chamois which might feel weird. I only have one set of thermal bib-tights - will try adding my leg warmers next time it drops below 5C.

That's what I do. It works very well. Good pair of Castelli Perfetto fleece-lined/ Goretex outer bibs with the very comfortable Progetto 2 pad and a warm pair of fleece-lined leg warmers beneath. Good for sub-zero and I feel the cold easily.

The only issue I have with gauntlet type gloves is stuffing the wrist part into the jacker sleeve, otherwise when it rains / snows, the water channels straight inside the gauntlet.
Yuk - !

the best Winter gloves I've got are the Castelli Estremo's. They offer genuine sub-zero warmth, long cuffs, great grip, light and don't feel bulky - you can still use a mobile.

Q36.5 Be Love O gloves are similarly brilliant but similarly expensive.

However, 7hundred is currently offering them with a 35% price reduction in certain sizes:

I have a few pairs of Gore-Tex gloves, Sealskinz, Musto and Rodeo Thinsulate. I more often just wear insulated builder's gloves for shorter rides. The Musto gloves would be my go to gloves for longer winter rides, the Rodeo gloves are probably too warm for anything but minus conditions, the Sealskinz stay in my panniers on tour, in case the Mustos get wet.

@cool_hand i think its a bit of personal preference, I don't like really insulated gloves for some reason and only swap out mitts for Windchills if its really brassic.

I’m pretty sure that’s not what you mean.

FWIW, I always wore TOG24 McKenzie ski gloves that I bought about 20 years ago. Before, I’d get painfully cold fingers, but these were an absolute revelation and allowed me to do long sub-zero rides and commutes. The stitching has come loose on the side of the index finger and the insulation has got a bit squashed over the years, but they’re still pretty decent.

Yes, he probably meant brass monkeys, just possibly could have intended baltic, but that doesn't seem likely.

+1 on the two-finger lobster gloves from Pearl Izumi. They really are warmer than four-finger gloves, IME.

I thought about these - but they are expensive @ £80 - and as a roadie how often are you cycling when its below zero due to ice ?

I've just ordered some specialised lobster gloves for £50 (10 % off first order)

I use planetx lobsters which are as good as anything I've had elsewhere and only a tenner.

Well, well.
This is the first time in 42 years that I've heard of brassic meaning anything other than 'boracic lint ~ skint'.

Like Legs, I'd only ever heard it used in the sense of Skint.
