Good gloves for this time of year …

[CentralCommuter]

I’ve been going out at 6am in the morning, but my fingers are getting cold. I’m looking for long finger gloves but don’t want sweaty hands that overheat. Is that possible? What are you all using that you like?

Specialized BG ridge (or whatever the current equivalent is), light long fingered gloves. I’ve had a couple of pairs for a number of years
These look pretty close

I’m sure Endura have something similar

 

[I like Skol]

Decathlon light mtb gloves fit the bill for my early morning commuting at this time of year. Full finger protection but quite breathable. Just enough to take the chill out of 5am commutes and still be ok on the warmer evening return.

I've got a pair of Garneau Creek Ergo gloves.

Better on flat bars than on drops though but they've lasted well

Not sure anyone sells Garneau now in the U.K.?
Maybe a limited range on Sportpursuit from time to time

 

[CanucksTraveller]

Specialized BG, the long finger models... as Vickster says they change the model name every year seemingly, and they faff with some detailing, but the design stays similar and they're always excellent to wear, cool enough for hot days, and warm enough for cooler ones. Magic! Long lasting too, I've had this pair for many years.

Mine came from Evans, they opened a branch in Leicester and I went in for a mooch around, thought I'd better buy summat and it was either them or (more) innertubes. They've been good.

I wear my running gloves with my fingerless mitts underneath. Then, when my hands get warm, I take my running gloves off.
cheap & cheerful.

I'll second the light MTB gloves from Decathlon. Very good ST100 £9.99, or ST500 £17.99

No more...going forwards Evans will probably start to sell the same cr@p as Sports Direct

No I meant the gloves have been good, never been into Evans since.

Yes, I got that. I was saying Evans no longer sell Garneau.
Sportpursuit have a few Garneau bits but no gloves

I have exactly the same gloves, I think they are 10 years old now, they are perfect for this time of year.
Specialized gloves are great.
