Winter Glove Roundup

[Notsoblue]

Its getting parky out there in the mornings and my summer gloves just won't cut it for much longer!

Basically looking for something windproof, not necessarily water proof, and not too bulky. Can anyone recommend a good pair of full finger gloves?

I've just ordered my second pair of Altura Reflex gloves:

The price is a real bargain...

For truly cold days, I find the Specialised Radiant gloves are almost too warm!

Just long fingered versions of my normal mits do me all through winter, luckily I don't suffer from cold extremities too badly on the bike.

Yeah the gloves are great but as you say a bit too warm just now. I like my Endura full monty and dexter gloves but they are too good for the commute.

Do a search on Bike Radar - they might have the winter gloves reviews they did last autumn (in Cycling Plus) on there.

I personally favour quite simple thin thermal gloves from outdoor shops (there's no label on them, but I think they were Peter Storm, maybe made of something like Thinsulate). They are reasonably windproof, not waterproof but don't feel too cold when wet. They don't have any extra grippy pads but I don't find them too slippy. When it gets a bit colder I wear another pair of thin gloves underneath, again from outdoor shops and meant for use as inner gloves.
I have very small hands and I have found the proper winter bike gloves to be a bit inflexible.

Thanks for the suggestions chaps. In the end I went for a pair of Pearl Izumi Pittards Elite Thermal Winter Gloves.

I liked the fact they looked pretty sleek and weren't too bulky! Will post what I thought of them when they arrive.
