Full Gloves - Good ones you would recommend?

[Fletch456]

Hi,

I need to get a pair of full finger gloves for the Autumn / Winter - does anyone have any recommendations for any that have done a good job of keeping your fingers warm?

I've just bought a new road bike and can see myself getting into cycling proper (with a sportive planned soon, for starters). So could do with something that will help for someone who tends to get cold hands though can't imagine I will be out in the depths of winter just yet. The Endura Dexter look good, not too short a cuff too and reasonable price.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Craig

I have been pleased with the Altura Night Vision ones that I have.

will you be in the rain?
do they need to be waterproof?
I have some sealskins, nice n cozy with a merino inside and totaly waterproof.

Maybe in the rain - it's all kinda new at the mo as been into cycling for years but very fair weather way; now going to get more serious. Warmth is more important - can't see myself being out in proper rain.

Thanks User & Hugo - the altura look good; will take a look at decathlon too.

For cycling in cold temperatures I use something like these:

Mine are made by Hestra and have a flip-back top for freer finger movement. If you buy a larger pair than necessary, you could have normal padded gloves under.

mittens? on a bike?

mm very warm no doubt but not sure about the mittens thing either ..and not sure if I will be cycling in temperatures quite cold enough

If it's cold, you WILL want warm hands!

For commuting I picked up a pair of spesh Radiant 1/2 price in a lbs and I've been very happy with them. On the road bike last year I was switching between Endura Dexter and Endura Strike. I prefer the lighter wind proof dexter normally but for the cold and wet conditions I prefer the Endura Strike. If its warmth your after IME the Spesh Radiants are the way to go, they've got a bigger cuff too but if it perfomance to weight the Endura are the way to go with the Strike offering the middle ground.
