Hang on a sec. Not only does that spoil your aero whatever, but it simply means that any water which gathers on your glove or the bottom edge of your sleeve cuff is blown straight up your arm.

I ride so fast that water just skims of me....

I've said it here before probably, not sure if anyone took up the recommendation. But Barr Mitts, they really work. Unconventional looks, but I don't care as my hands stay both warm and dry, no matter the weather.

That's an amazon link, but I got mine from ebay for about a tenner.

Ah yes, there is another thread on here about them. https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/rockbrothers-bar-mitts-poggies.211840/

After mentally changing gear and braking, I've bought some of these. Thanks for the recommendation.

Me too, I like my thin sealskinz but there not the best below 1-2°C

Hang on a sec. Not only does that spoil your aero whatever, but it simply means that any water which gathers on your glove or the bottom edge of your sleeve cuff is blown straight up your arm.

Most cuffs are either elasticated or have velcro closures to prevent those issues.

My cuffs have a velcro closure, so gloves on, sleeves pulled down and fastened. Perfect.

My new PlaneX Crab finger gloves turned up xmas eve.
£10 for a superb gloves, odd looking they may be but the quality is excellent.

Crab/lobster whatever gloves are for me worth their weight in gold.Some people don't like them but I've never had a problem with bike gear/brake controls and never had cold hands.

[QUOTE 5481140, member: 9609"]whats the point in having the fingers split up ?[/QUOTE]

Its about having 2 fingers ..............Fnar warning..togeather for extra warmth.
Normal gloves separate all the fingers so more chance of getting cold.

Well that's what i think anyway

i use these No gloves are waterproof as the water runs down your arm into the glove. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/..._dc|pcrid|294922111664|pkw||pmt||prd|504621UK

I use a pair of diving wrist seals. The cuffs on my wonderful Gore ShakeDry won't go over the layers of gloves I wear, so it I put it over these, and then fold them back and over my Gore shells which go over whatever it is I need for the cold (lobsters, mitten, fingered).

Even then, after 3 or 4 hours the Gore shell gloves give up the ghost, but I no longer suffer from painfully wet and cold hands.

Reduced surface area.

I have some Endura which I like to wear because they are hi viz yelllow.
But I actually wear my sealskinz all weather because they keep my hands warm. A bit sweaty, so you have a bit of a fight getting them on after the cafe stop, but warm as toast.

[QUOTE 5481343, member: 9609"]I was more meaning the advantage over full mitts, I'm a big advocate of the advantages of keeping all the fingers together to preserve warmth.[/QUOTE]
Some people struggle to push the correct lever in multi-lever brifters with mitts.

I have recently acquired some Sealskin Highland gloves which say they are windproof & waterproof. I have ridden for up to 45 mins in heavy rain and had dry, warm hands which haven't got too sweaty. They were reduced to £27 at GoOutdoors

They have insulation which makes me think that they'll be fine at around freezing temperature too.

After a zero-degrees ten mile dry commute, which read as -3 on the Wahoo thanks to windchill, the Sealskinz Highland gloves performed very well and my hands stayed warm. Hands didn't get damp or sweaty either.
