try damart gloves i have used them for last twenty years, i normaly wear track mitts over them and find them very good exept in exteme cold, as for feet i some times wear gore-tex socks then over shoes and feet are lovely and dry and warm biked 20 miles each way to work in all weathers in winter time and was ok

may the wind always be behind you

Again, Cheap ski gloves work really well. Got some "Campri" ones from JJB/Chavsports, about £3-00 and they're really toasty, so much so I can only use them when it's getting icy cold.

Hand warmers strongly recommended. See link below:

Thanks guys for all the advice, will try all of the above one by one.

Yes the marigolds are yellow, very high viz, I was pleased with that, wear loads of high viz on the pony and myself in winter.

Thanks again.

I trust your pony wears a helmet?

If you have a Decathlon near you, they have reasonbly priced winter gloves, TK Maxx are also great for cheap ski gloves this time of year.

I have used Altura Shield gloves for the last four years and I can recommend them wholeheartedly. They keep my hands dry in the wet and warm in the cold. What more can you want.

I'm getting a vision of a seaside donkey in a sort of armoured straw hat, with ears poking through...

Hope you find something that works K. I suspect the windproofing is as big a deal as the waterproofing. I have fleece gloves which are ok, but let the wind in, so I have some windproof ones for when it gets really chilly (Altura, I think). Layering might help too - thin gloves inside, bigger thicker ones over the top. As long as it doesn't cut off the circulation....

As I do not like bulky gloves I have just received my ordered http://www.evanscycles.com/products/gore-bikewear/thermopower-under-gloves-ec009547 Gore Thermopower (Under) Gloves They were waiting for me when I returned from a cycle on which I wore Aldi winter gloves. Within seconds of trying on the ultra thin Gore Gloves my hands felt like they were in the hight of summer. I will prob put padded fingerless glover over these but have a good feeling about them
