    Hi

    I know this must be a recurring theme but yesterday my fingers almost froze off as my current winter gloves have had it and became bags of ice water on my hour commute.

    Need to be wind proof, rain proof (or resistant for up to 30mins I am guessing) and good down to zero degrees. Don’t care about bulk really and have other sets of gloves for other weathers.

    Any recommendations?

    Another vote for the Planet X

    Another vote for the Planet X. My hands suffer a bit as I have broken fingers a few too many times. On days when my garmin has been down to -6.5 they have been toasty with a thin pair of inners I already had. 99.9% they are fine on their own.

    Two winters of these now

    Two winters of these now (wearing only on cold days) and little or no signs of wear and now my toes are the only part getting cold. 

    Excelent protection from the wind and cold but not waterproof at all.

    I’ve tried loads of gloves

    I get cold fingers too and I’ve tried loads of gloves and always come back to a pair of wool gloves with Thinsulate insulation that you can get at any street market for £12.

    If it’s really cold I’ll wear ski gloves. Pick a pair with leather palms, they’ll last for ages.

    Hi SpikeBike,

    Hi SpikeBike,

    Sorry to hear that your current gloves haven’t been up to the job.

    I’ve got the same Endura Luminite gloves as you and I use them throughout the autumn, winter & spring.  When it’s warmer I use them on their own but when it’s colder I use a merino inner glove as well.   I don’t like really big bulky gloves and thee have worked well for me over about 5 years now and they are a bit shabby now but are certainly nowhere near falling apart or being completely worn out.  However these gloves are not waterproof but then they don’t claim to be (I don’t think anyway but then I could be wrong).

    In terms of other options I can’t say that I’ve used them so can’t give a personal opinion but I thought that these gloves and they’re layering system sounded like a good idea for keeping your hands just right in a variety of conditions.  The Dissent 133 gloves:-

    I bought a couple pairs of thick winter cycling gloves from Also, they were £6 a pair and they are fine down to freezing.

    Not amazingly waterproof though, fine for about an hour in drizzly conditions, but nothing heavier.

    They are also a little bulky.

    The key point is that gloves

    The key point is that gloves that are warm enough at X degrees for most people may not be warm enough for people like you (& me) who have really poor circulation.

    ive tried many gloves but never found a pair (even lobster claw ones) that are warm enough for me hear to zero degrees.

    Second that. I used a pair while descending the errr. Galibier in November, and the run back to Briancon at 90km/h thanks to a strong tailwind. No way would I have risked that without toasty fingers …

    +1 for lobster mitts when it

    +1 for lobster mitts when it gets below zero. I’m using Sealskinz ones, which I think currently go under the name Highland Claw. On one really cold day this winter the two of us using these on our club ride were the only two not complaining. (Toes? that’s another matter.)  But the waterproofing does wear through; I don’t expect to get more than three winters out of them.

    Planet X. I’m using these crab claw gloves. Very warm, and a good length up the cuff.  Currently at £8 so got to be worth a punt. They have a standard 5 finger warm liner, and claw outer, with a membrane

    Oooo thanks everyone. More

    Oooo thanks everyone. More recommendations than I was expecting. I will now take them and over analyse the online review as I do with everything.

     

    FYI those endura-luminite gloves recommended above are the ones that have just given up on me. I think I got two winters out of them. They were pretty good but I still felt the cold when it got to zero. The “waterproofness” of them I lost after a couple of handwashing cycles (no pun intended).

    I had been on the hunt for

    I had been on the hunt for the perfect winter gloves for ages and then found them almost by accident when I bought some new winter cycling gloves for my daughter. On my search for these I came across the Endura Nemo kids gloves and once they arrived I realised how great they were and instantly went and ordered the adult version for myself.

    The Endura Nemo gloves are amazing, very snug neoprene lined glove that allows full dexterity (I can even tie my laces whilst wearing them) and keeps your hands so warm that they can even be used for building snow people and igloos (I have done this) without issue. At under £25 they are a bargain too!

    Lobsters are the answer.
    Lobsters are the answer. Amazing the difference they make over pretty much any normal gloves.
