I could do with some cycling gloves and don't know enough to make a wise purchase. I've got some fingerless ones but they have seams that rub and my fingers got cold today. Which ones work for you?

Wiggle do a good pair in their own brand 'dhb' which have served me well through most of the winter, although I have resorted to an old pair of ski gloves on the really cold days, of which there seem to have been quite a lot recently! These look closest to what I've got wiggle.co.uk Most of the year I use my Gore fingerless which I love. |

I have loads of pairs! At the moment I'm mostly using Sealskinz cycling gloves, sometimes (on really cold days) with little merino wristwarmers that have a thumb-hole and stop at the base of my fingers. At this time of year it's worth having decent windproof full-finger gloves at the very least. Altura do some cheap ones which are perfectly adequate, and Planet X own-brand ones are also good. Gore are can't-go-wrong-with for gloves. |

For very cold days I use specialized sub zero gloves, for moderately cold I wear some windproof gloves (have two pairs sealskins ones and cheapo Aldi ones - both work equally well), for not quite cold enough for fingerless I use the liner gloves from the Specialized sub zeros. For summer riding I use these prendas.co.uk very comfortable, I also used to suffer from seams rubbing on other gloves but not these. Bonus of these prendas gloves.... no velcro to catch on other clothing. |

Do Briko Magic still exist? They were great for not freezing but still chilly days.
