Gloves help

[Scuba-phil]

Hey guys. Not long got a bike and can't wait to get some proper riding under my belt.
I'm amassing some gear but I'm struggling with gloves.
I want some cold weather but not overly hot gloves with a gel pad.
Would appreciate some suggestions/links
Thanks
Phil

I've used an earlier version of THESE for the past few winters.

They keep my hands warm enough without being boil in the bag

All depends on how cold you ride in and what your circulation is like , this week i have had on 2 pairs of thinsulate gloves or a thinsulate topped with a an extra large pair of aldi winter gloves !
I did have a pair of these for years untill they fell to bits and i liked them, but i do suffer with cold hands ...

I have these winter gloves which come with gel pads. http://www.evanscycles.com/products/endura/strike-womens-winter-glove-ec025184
they have been good so far. wore them for a lot of my tour last year, used each and every day from september through to Dec and then again in Feb. when it is cold enough I put a set of icebeaker merino wool liners underneath - so buy them slack (makes it easier to get them off and on when hands are sweaty/wet and it is raining). They are beginning to not be as waterproof as they were now, but I put them through hell and back on a world tour, so am kinda expecting to have to replace them soon.

Don't cycle much in the cold anymore but I agree with the above. I use a pair of leather palmed fingerless gloves [with padding] over a pair of unpadded gloves to keep the pinkies warm. Allows you to keep up with the changing weather [a bit].

I'm an August newbie and I've been cycling every day in this cold weather and these gloves have been a god send

Planet X often have some good gloves in for very reasonable money, if not absolute bargains:

Buying gloves online can be a bit of a lottery because the sizing isn't as standard as other items of clothing. I usually buy 'medium' gloves but I've got 'large' pairs that are a good fit and a 'medium' pair that's much too big.

Hand temperature seems to vary massively between individuals - I've never found one pair of gloves that does all year or all conditions. Endura "Full Monty's" are the closest I've found to a 3 season pair but not warm enough in the depths of winter - for that Aldi winter cycling gloves are good value and, for me, they work well up to about 5C - after which they're far too warm. I think mine cost about a fiver.
