Cycling Gloves.

[trev57]

Hi all, I am after some winter cycling gloves. I have looked at quite a few (probably to many), now bit confused, any recommendations for warm and waterproof gloves about £40-£50 or less.

Cheers
Trevor.

Trevor what sort of temps do you want to ride in. Do you want the lobster type glove, very warm, personally I find them too warm for most days. Do you really want water proof. If so Neoprene.
I tend to wear defeet wool gloves they are warm when wet rather than waterproof and cover most bases for me,

I use these;

Not the warmest gloves in the world, but they are certainly waterproof. I've used them in temps down to -2 degrees on short rides (<45 minutes) and they've been just about comfortable enough.

I think the "warmth" aspects might depend on the individual. I suffer badly from cold fingers (they will often be cold even when I'm warm, I'm told (by scuba-diving friends) it's a circulation issue. Thus if my fingers get a bit cold they typically then get very cold and stop moving properly whilst others are fine.

In winter I use Endura Deluge gloves - they are the only cycling gloves I've tried and my fingers still get cold but they'd be a lot worse a lot sooner without any gloved. I've considered looking for warmer gloves but I've assumed it becomes a compromise between buld and warmth (and I've found some old skiing gloves far too bulky for cycling with STIs).

(and I've found some old skiing gloves far too bulky for cycling with STIs).

I use skiing mittens from Decathlon but I don't use STIs. Instead, I have SA triggers or simple friction levers on all bikes.

This week I've been wearing cotton hunting/shooting gloves because something is needed but it's not yet cold enough here for skiing or to worry about them wet.

I use these from Alpkit. Strictly for the mountains but work well. Pre-bent for comfort.

I have a pair of these https://www.d2dcyclingclothing.co.uk/pr ... ng-gloves/. d2d also do a 'lobster' glove. I would say It all depends on how much flexibility in the glove you require, how often you are going to be braking / changing gears, reaching for your water bottle etc, etc.

As already noted, this is an individual thing and also depends on the weather conditions in which you are likely to face.

If you have a TKMaxx handy you may find something in there but it's pot luck.

I can't stand cold extremities, so it's perhaps not surprising I like Extremities clothing. Not cheap but often discounted if you find older stock in outdoor-type shops or online. They do various grades of waterproof/ windproof/ insulated gloves and mitts, and I've been very pleased

I would suggest you try pogies, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RockBros-Win ... 243646841?

I've been using a cheap pair of Aldi/Crane winter gloves for about seven years now and have been happy with them but they are beginning to come apart at the cuffs now. I don't know how they compare to the current stock. They are warm enough for me in the cold weather but I do find that there are times in our winters when my fingerless mitts are not warm enough but my Aldi gloves are too warm. In those instances, I usually wear a pair of glove liners, (cheap) thin gloves or my Sealskinz that I normally wear when on foot.

I do find that, like the rest of me, my hands warm up considerably after the first mile or three. Also, when I wear my cape in the rain, not only do I not need waterproof gloves, but my hands are often kept warm enough by the cape to forgo full-finger or winter gloves.

Fortunately my hands don't get too cold, I do though use a thin pair of Pearl Izumi gloves if it's a frosty day and a pair of Dachstein wool mittens if it's really cold and wet. The mitts are a bit old school but infinitely better than waterproof gloves imho.

I'm another one using work gloves, I've tried a few and the Ejendals are about the best, 517's for chilly and 295's for when it gets really cold.
You're not going to find one pair of gloves ideal for a wide range of conditions, though you may find some that are an adequate compromise for short rides. It's often one of those pick two scenarios - Warm, Waterproof, Not sweaty. I don't usually wear waterproof gloves unless it's essential, though I'll often carry a pair if I'm out all day. Plenty of choice in warm and not waterproof, I get mine from here:

I suffer from reynauds so i have a glove collection bordering on obsessive

Currently running thin full finger gloves with a liner glove atm as its hovering around 10 c atm for most of my commutes , the liner gloves are actually running gloves from sports direct
https://www.sportsdirect.com/karrimor-r ... e=76512703

I have also found that those cheap "magic gloves " you get at local shops made out of thin wool also make brilliant liners .
For thicker gloves i have just bought some halfords basic gloves which seem very good for cooler but not really cold days
https://www.halfords.com/cycling/cyclin ... 82422.html

Full winter days i also use aldi /crane cycle gloves as i have found they are pretty good with liner gloves for all but the most cold days
decathlon do a range of gloves for winter and these are excellent , thicker than the aldi gloves
https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/700-cycli ... _/R-p-9517

I dont got much bulkier with gloves as i use road sti gears and find anything more is too thick to change gears properly , if your using flat bar with easy the change gears ski gloves can be good when its really cold but they dont work for me
Finally when its freezing or below i sometimes put of bar mitts which are made of thick neoprene and mean you can wear thin gloves and still be toasty .

For me its the wind chill thats the issue, if i can keep my hand out of the cold air by various means then the battle is won , even in summer i need thin full finger gloves below 20 c as the wind chill even on a summers day from riding can make my fingers white ,

Snickers gloves with double fleece insulation -- waterproof apparently with the most essential thing for me -- the fleece nose wipe thumb. My nose continually runs in the cold early morning 45 min sprint's to work. At £25 they're the answer.
