Gloves

[kyuss]

It's a similar pain to banging your shin or stubbing a toe. You want to cry but your body won't allow the screams past your throat.

Assos Early Winter plus liner gloves – still painfully cold fingertips today.

I've posted this link before. These are what I wore in Canada at minus 35 C.

Scroll down to the '100% Waterproof' wrist gloves.

I wear wooly Thinsulate gloves in British winter at warm temperatures like minus 5 C.

I have thinsulate gloves for spring, summer, autumn. They are probably all right for short daylight days of winter riding but they are nowhere near good enough for night winter rides imho.

I have Spec Radiants too. They are a tad bulky but I've personally not found that a problem. No complaints about their warmth either, good for 0 and -1 temps in my experience though I have no idea how they'd cope with the minus figures we've been having lately.

I use sealskinz as well, but the ones that look like they`re knitted. Waterproof , breathable, and windproof. They are good, no cold fingers on the bike or at work (contract window cleaning) but thin enough for dexterity. With my job, i`ve searched for years for a good glove what with the raynauds and all, and for me this is
it. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=6043

i gave up on gloves and got some marmot glade mitts at christmas. used them on several of the recent cold days and my hands were really warm. they take gel heating pads if it gets really cold. no problems on a near 7 hour ride on friday.

I have a set of the 'Lobster Claw' style gloves - they are excellent!! I suffer from poor circulation in my middle fingers (got a nasty bout of frostnip in arctic Norway one year and they've suffered in cold conditions ever since).

I sometimes find the lobster claws too warm - unless it's under 1 or 2 degrees C my hands tend to get too hot for the gloves after a while and I have to take them off.

They work by keeping the fingers next to each other so they can keep each other warm (like a split mitten) but still allow a degree of manual dexterity.

As an outer protection to cycling gloves (with or without fingers) and/or silk gloves, I thoroughly recommend these:

Is it possible to get a winter glove(thermal and windproof) that also has the gel pads on palm for those who suffer with problems with ulna nerves on longer rides please? Thanks

My Gore gloves have palm padding - the padding is in a similar position to Specialized BG Mitts which is part of the reason I bought them.

The new Gore Alp X gloves have the same padding.

I have to say my Endura Strike gloves are doing an OK job tho not brilliant. They also have gel padding on both sides of the heel of the hand.

Must go to Decathlon and get me some silk 'undergloves' which should solve the matter of chilly fingers.

The main problem I hear that the Endura's suffer from is when they get soaked that they take can take as long as wet shoes to fully dry out.
I have yet to test this.

Went out yesterday and it was even colder. Wore my bog standard (although sparkley) normal gloves under my cycling gloves and my hands were toasty!!!! It's amazing what difference warm hands make!

Could hardly move my hands though....changing gears was a challenge

 

[tdr1nka]

I need to get thermal insoles for my shoes, I'm still loosing heat thru my cleats even tho I blocked any gaps I found inside.
All toasty warm except the soles of my feet.
