Winter Gloves recommendations

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?

Hey

I don't have any specific recommendations for gloves, but i have been commuting about 10 miles each way in -10 to -14 celcius this winter and have been able to try different options in cold weather. If you don't want to use bar mitts, which is probably the best way to stay warm and dry, i would recommend trying lobster gloves with wool liners. I have two pairs of liners in two different thickness of wool from Hestra and it gives me a lot of possibilities to adapt. Most serious commuters in Norway would go for liners with bar mitts i would say, and i will definitely try that next winter.

I suffer with poor circulation and subsequently with cold hands (medication I am on doesn't help) so winter gloves are an annual issue for me, what seemed adequate one winter are never quite warm enough the next winter.  Being very dubious because of the low price I tried a pair of Louis Garneau Super Prestige 2 gloves this year.  They are superb, the silly looking lobster mit fits in a little pouch on the back of your hand when not in use and doesn't feel bulky or uncomfortable when tucked away.  The gloves themselves are warm enough that all winter I only used the lobster bit once or twice but I have not used them in prolonged heavy rain so I cannot comment on their performance in those conditions but light rain and showeres didn't present a problem for me.

 

For under £25 (maybe cheaper if you shop around) they may be worth a try.

I'm selling these, polaris Extreme, very warm, very waterproof, have a hypora inner glove. I bought these for my son but he's never used them, I wear the self same in a size smaller.

These are a large for 8.5-10" around the widest part of the hand.

I get very cold hands, and my giro 100 proof gloves are pretty good. Have pockets that you can put hand warmers in if things get really cold. Lobster style mitts, but still allows decent dexterity.
