Winter cycling gloves

[markstev27]

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good deal for winter thermal cycling gloves ?

Thanks

About four years ago, I bought some Mountain Warehouse ski gloves, massively reduced (perhaps) in one of their sales. They seem to work.

Personally, I would steer well clear of SealSkinz.

What conditions do you hope to use them in? Winter covers quite a wide range.

SealSkinz appear to be very hit & miss. Some folk swear by them. My experience is of two pairs of 'waterproof' gloves - which definitely weren't, despite the second pair being supplied by SealSkinz to replace the first which I'd sent back as a complaint.

I've been using Galibier Barrier winter gloves for the past couple of years. They're the best out of 8-10 different pairs I have, including Sealskinz and other much more expensive ones.

Been using these, great for 20 quid.

Anyone recommend a pair of winter gloves? Nothing too expensive but warm !!

After suffering cold hands off and on for years I bit the bullet some years ago and bought a pair of Sealskinz Lobster gloves. I'm not suggesting you go for these (assuming they still do them) because they weren't cheap then so I doubt very much they'll be cheap now but lobster gloves in general I would recommend. I think the design helps to make them a warmer glove. If you want warm and waterproof then I've not a clue......in all the years I've cycled I've not found a glove that's properly waterproof. Even the Sealskinz let water in. PlanetX usually have lobster gloves in their sales.

I've tried Sealskinz and didn't find them very warm or waterproof. I suffer with cold fingers and have found that the Planet X Lobster gloves are the only ones to stop my fingers turning to blocks of ice, and at the moment they're on sale at PX at £7.49 +p&p:

I have never really found a solution to this till recently. I bought a Galibier quilted gilet which keeps my core very warm. As a result my body doesn't take blood away from the extremities and my hands and feet stay much warmer.

I've used silk liner gloves for a couple of years and these definitely help if combined with other gloves. £5-10 a pair depending on supplier.

Size guide.

I bought a new pair of Lined winter gloves as XL very comfy in shop.

BUT my thumb sits right to the end. Not a problem trying them on. This becomes wearysome on long rides as your weight pushes you further into the glove.

Also if you do plan to wear the 'silk' liners you need extra space. Yesterday was 'feels like 0". So went back to old falling apart gloves, plus inners. Lovely - even took the liners off after 10 miles.

Finally less expensive gloves don't breathe as well and your hands can become sweaty. Still it's better than too cold.

Exactly this, with silk liners if needed.

Yes I usually use my ski gloves when the temperature is below about 6C. They are pretty waterproof (not completely, but enough that my hands don't get wet in rain showers) as well as warm.

A pair of cheap Halfords cycling gloves when the temperature is roughly between about 7 and 12(ish), then thinner gloves when it is above that (rarely in the winter).
