Cold Fingers

Possibly the wrong forum (Admins, feel free to move)

My fingertips were freezing on the ride to work this morning. Anyone care to recommend some nice warm winter gloves? And any other winter biking clothes for that matter.

Cheers.

Pearl Izumi Lobsters. I was riding all through last winter's snow and never once suffered frosty digits.

I use HotHands heat pads, they really give of a wonderful amount of heat and they make specific ones for your feet too. Lovely toastie toes

For riding to work just pop into you local petrol station and get something with the 'Thinsulate 40gram' tag on them. They typically cost about £6 and are toasty warm even in sub zero temps.

are they any good stopping wind chill though ??
last pair of thinsulate gloves i wore had 0 wind protection, which when you're on a bike is quite a necessity.

i myself have a pair of endura wind & waterproof ones, no idea which model they are i got em off ebay

Like those..

An alternative could be to wear a latex glove underneath your usual ones..

I'd rather buy windproof than waterproof.... but I need lightweight not bulky..
