Gloves for single digits (temperature!)

[Big John]

Light neoprene divers gloves. Inexpensive, available in various thicknesses, warm, windproof.

I've used neoprene ones bought some years ago from Lidl for a tenner and they've been great but sadly they've now worn out. Bought a new pair online from a company named Osprey for £16 that are 3mm neoprene which appear good quality but their sizes are way off the mark so if you buy from them make sure you buy at least one size bigger than you'd normally buy. Mine are, let's say, snug. You need a bit of room in them to stop the finger tips from getting cold. My old ones were ok down to maybe 6C. Used the new ones today but I'm pretty sure I was at the temperature limit, about 8C, due to the tight fit. They do look good though lol.

If they're for underwater though, I guess they aren't 'breathable' so my hands would get quite sweaty? (I know nothing about diving clobber.)

They thick ones can make you sweet like Cliff Richard at a helicopter show, but the thinner ones keep a more reasonable temperature. Because they're windproof thin ones do very nicely.

Karrimor gloves from Sport's Direct are quite good for the price. They also do a thinner set which I use as liners for thick fleecy winter gloves. I find layering works best when the temps are getting closer to zero.

The ones in the link also work with smartphone screens, which is nice.

I use Mountain Warehouse's ski gloves at about £25 a pair. All the cycling-specific winter gloves I have bought were either rubbish or over-priced, IMVHO.

These look quite good? https://www.galibier.cc/product/ardennes-light-winter-cycling-gloves/

I have these as well. The best winter cycling glove I've owned and are my go to for every winter ride. Highly recommended and fit the OP's budget. I do have a very good pair from Aldi which were reduced to a fiver; they happened to fit so I thought it was worth £5 to try them. Very good indeed.

Sounds good to me - now ordered.

Thanks everyone for suggestions and advice. 👍

I have many pairs of gloves.

Assos winter gloves for the very low temperature, are the only ones that work for me.

I have Gripgrab gloves for higher single digit temperatures.

Decent and cheap - I use these for cold commutes
