Winter Gloves

[Biff600]

Can someone recommend me a pair of gloves that I can use over the colder months (preferably with a link)

The criteria is...

1. Full finger (not mitts)
2. Must not be bulky (like ski-gloves)
3. Must have gel or substantial padding on the palms, heel etc
4. Less than £30
5. Size medium
6. Not fussed about the colour......within reason !

Thanks in advance

Sealskinz, warm and waterproof without the bulk. A pair of thin thermal liner gloves can be worn under them if required http://www.wiggle.co.uk/sealskinz/g...id|96436346116|pkw|sealskin gloves|pmt|e|prd|

Cheers Steve50, I have ordered a pair and they are on the way !!

When you find out that SealSkins are not that great in colder, wetter weather try some Endure Deluge Gloves

In very wet weather they will become saturated like any other glove but in my experience they keep your hands warm.

Thanks for the advice, but I will not be riding in sub-zero torrential conditions

I use Extremities Velo gloves, in the largest size they will sell me.
Just basic thin windstopper, but provided the gloves are a loose fit and the wind it kept out, I find it perfectly OK.
If it's properly cold (< -5°), my fingers do go numb, but they warm up OK once the rest of me has warmed up properly, after 15-20 mins riding.

No gel though - I use double bar tape.

On purpose...

I have been posting this for about 5 years and still stand by it.

   I have bought all sorts of Winter gloves but nothing that has been breathable and water tight.
   
   2 years ago I bought these overmitts for a motorcycle trip where it poured down all week. My hands stayed warm and dry. Since then I have used them for bad weather cycling. I wear marino gloves underneath. They are first class. I am not a cycling snob so the aesthetics dont bother me.

I've got a similar pair of Montane Resolute Mitts in eVent, going dirt cheap because one of the inner fibre pile mitts was missing. Great for keeping the water out, not so good for dexterity, though in my case that doesn't matter because my bad weather bike uses bar end shifters.

I found Endura Luminite good last winter

[QUOTE 4509062, member: 259"]Decathlon 700 winter gloves are great and under £20. For extremely cold weather, I wear silk undergloves as well.

I have a pair of those. Swmbo got them for me. They certainly keep my hands warm in sub zero temperatures. They are slightly bulkier than I like but that is a minor gripe. I have a range of gloves for different conditions. Have a look at Planet X who offer quite a wide range.

Thanks for the interest, but I bought some gloves half way through September

I have these (https://www.evanscycles.com/fwe-coldharbour-waterproof-glove-EV274099) seem good so far. I've worn them on the couple of cold mornings we've had this week (3-4*C when leaving my house), and my hands have been pretty sweaty by the time I got to work.

I bought some of these http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/PXLGWL/planet-x-100-waterproof-crab-hand-winter-glove the other month and wore them for the first time today. I did 19 miles in 4 to 5 Celsius. They kept the cold out, though maybe some light gloves underneath might've worked better. I don't know how waterproof they are. That's the next test.

I've got a pair of Hipor night vision gloves .... bought for cheap off ebay last winter

they are warm and waterproof, hi viz, however, after a long ride, they stink really bad

so, I will be looking for new gloves soon
