Ski Gloves for cyling?

[Maherees]

Is there any reason i could not use a pair of skiing/mountain gloves for cycling? They seem to have the necessary dexterity for braking and gear chgaes. Is there something I am missing?
These seem pretty good:

Anything that works for you. There are no cycling dress codes.

I’ve used em in sub zero weather. Take a different pair for when you warm up later on.

I've got a pair of Ski gloves which work fine with the MTB twist shift gears and keep my hands really warm.

The downside is they are so warm that on anything but the coldest of days, my hands sweat inside the gloves making them a bit tricky to get off and on again.

I generally wear the ski gloves in the morning and a pair of work issue gripper gloves on the way home.

thanks all - I went and bought a pair (they've run out of cycling-specific winter gloves).

I used to use a pair of cheapo Lidl ski gloves until I somehow managed to lose them one night on a ride, Lord knows how. Their replacements are Mountain Warehouse ski gloves for about £20. They are just fine.

Ski and mountaineering gloves have been used for winter cycling for many a year. You’ll soon workout which of your gloves works for you in which conditions.

Used them for years whilst commuting on a fixie, the ones i used where no good for gear changing though, to bulky,

sounds great! best of luck!

I love gloves & glove shopping. trying on gloves in a store, they always feel great. one day I'm gonna bring a spray bottle & wet my hands to see how they feel removing & putting them back on. because so many gloves, when your hands are moist from perspiration, are very difficult to put back on, if you remove them for any reason during your ride. I have a pair pf cycling specific gloves that are the same way, but what saves them, is that I bought them extra big, so I can get them back on, despite the moist clingy-ness

Maybe use squidgy hand sanitizer which is very à la mode currently.

Wear a set of the oh so fashionable disposable gloves. Make sure they are skin tight and not the thin flimsy ones you get at petrol stations for diesel, and you will get your gloves on and off no problem.
Sweat will accumulate inside them, but, if tight, they will act like a wet suit and you hands will stay warm albeit wet.

I use a pr of Sinner skiing gloves and they work well

 

[Arjimlad]

When it's freezing or below Aldi ski gloves are the only thing I've found keep my hands warm. Just about enough dexterity to change gear.

It's easier with twist grip or fixed gear. Apart from that you should be fine.
