Warm Winter Gloves

[markharry66]

Cycled into work this morning hands Froze up can anyone suggest a decent winter glove that doesnt cost the earth

I have two pairs of Seal Skinz and love them, but they're far from universally popular.

Some kind of lobster gloves may help, and I found Breeze Blockers made a huge difference, although they're long out of production and difficult to find now.

For cold days on the bike I wear a pair of thermal Tegera working gloves that I bought in a supermarket in Finland (I think you can get them in this country) and use chemical hand warmers. I swear by chemical hand and foot warmers in really cold weather.

Works OK for me. Others may differ.

My feet are a bit of a lost cause on long rides. They end up going numb. Poor circulation I think.

I use Ski gloves for cold winter cycling.

Bought a new pair from Aldi on Monday, though they had very limited sizes left by then

The best winter gloves I've ever owned were £5.99 in Aldi last autumn. I don't know if they're still available.

As mentioned above - Aldi ski gloves.

I popped into Aldi this afternoon. I thought the gloves were well worth the asking price so I bought a pair. They only had the yellow ones in my size (XL) but I think that is a good choice anyway to make me more obvious to sleepy drivers!

They seem pretty well made.

They are warm and windproof.

Despite the claims, I don't think that they will be waterproof, but I hope not to put that to the test anyway - I bought them for rides on dry, cold wintry days; freezing rain really is not my thing!!

I like the big cuffs to stop bitter winds chilling my wrists.

The biggest drawback is that the warm padding on the fingers make gear shifting and operation of bike tech awkward. Still - I will trade that for frozen fingers any bitter winter day!

£3.99 well spent. Buy while stocks last!

I have done a couple of chilly rides wearing them and my fingers stayed warm.

I had a pair of the ones from Safety Gloves following a recommendation, probably on here. Unfortunately I left them in a pub in Merthyr Tydfil on Saturday .
I'll be buying some more.

Planet X crab claw gloves are excellent.

Adding a thin liner to any glove makes a surprisingly big difference I use Decathlon thin running gloves.

yes I have some ski-ing lobster mitts so if I do venture out when very cold I use those over a thin pair of regular gloves. if its too cold there is a risk of black ice etc so then I dont bother!

I use thick gloves (or even mitts) from e.g. Millets. Maybe with thin liners also. I have found these an OK price, and even got two-for-one.
Some don't like the bulk I believe, but I never found it a problem, on both straight and drop bars.
Bulkiest combo I ever used was: liner glovers + warm gloves + warm mitts + gortex over-mitts. Not much dexterity in that lot, but they kept me warm enough.

These work for me, with thin liner gloves from Decathlon when it is below freezing.

I use Mountain Warehouse's budget ski gloves. About £20 in a sale four years ago.

Thermal running gloves (Nike sphere). Work for me because softshell gloves fingers are usually too long, and the liner turns the glove inside out when you take it off. Due to the clamminess they’re then impossible to get back on. The Galibier ones with a deep cuff gave me carpal tunnel issues.
The soft fabric of the running gloves is easier to pull to fit and doesn‘t impede circulation. Easier to pocket and have a second pair if in pouring rain. Have worn them ok down to around -2C then add silk liners.
