Galibier extreme winter gloves..

[wafter]

I recall in the past these have been recommended time and again; having had a pretty grotty wet commute this morning (and knowing such occurrences will be infinitely worse as the temperature falls) I'm trying to get the drop on some decent winter clothing.

I'm looking for feedback from anyone using these please; a) to try and get some quantifiable insight into sizing as I’ve read they come up small but this doesn’t really help with actual selection and b) to push me over the edge into actually committing..

If you have these gloves I’d love to hear your general thoughts as well as what size you’re running, your hand circumference and how you’re finding the fit.

Cheers!

I have them and from experience should have gone one size up; i.e. I'm a Medium and should have got a Large.

I lost one on an audax in February so thanks for the prompt to get another pair.

Thanks; glad you got a bit of value from this thread too (I hope you didn't find the loss of one glove as traumatic as I would have!)

Do you know your hand circumference at all?

I've just measured mine at 200-210mm which suggests a medium (190-210mm stated) but I'm thinking of going large (210-220mm stated)..

Do you have any experience of any of their other products? The cold really hammers me (esp. extremities) and I'm determined to do what I can to make this winter's riding more comfortable than the last..
