Winter glove recommendations

[mattr]

Oh, FWIW a good jacket will make a significant difference too. Warm arms/core = warm hands.

The gloves are chiba, three layers, hard wearing "glovey" outer, fleece inner and a water/wind proof breatheable membrane in the middle.

Current equivalent appears to be thermo or premium winter.

A hardcore and super cheap option are British Army Arctic Goretex gloves. For sure, they are no lookers (they only come in olive green) - but even the base shell is warm and dry enough for most days in the UK. Add in the liners, and put it this way, I saw the guy accompanying the Blue Peter lass to the South pole by bike wearing some. Not huge amounts of dexterity - but I've never had any problems with shifters (they even come with a trigger finger slot).

I'm fine with a windproof over my LYCRA!
I'll have a look for the gloves though, cheers Matt

I bought mine when i still lived in the UK, so they are at least 10 years old, more likely 12 or 13.

You'd be surprised how much going from something like a windproof over lycra to an insulated softshell makes.......

I'm using gore or assos over here, and one of them is good enough for -10 with just a long sleeve base under it, the other one needs a long and a short sleeve.
