Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,

Question for cyclists about gloves!

Can anyone recommend some good gloves or glove liners for keeping hands warm on the bike? Has anyone tried the heated ones, and are they as awkward as they look? A lot of things I've looked at seem too bulky for cycling, but I would love to find some gloves which keep my fingers warm enough for them to move once I get off the bike...

Any suggestions? :-) Apart from the obvious MTFU...

I'm watching thread now. I'm ok whilst I'm on the bike, but the pain in my fingers when my hands start to heat back up at work could bring a tear to my eye!

I had some neoprene ones a while back - took a while to warm up but once warmed they were toasty

I got some thin gloves from decathlon that are the dogs doo-dahs. They're thin silk like one for wearing under ski gloves, and I wear then under some gore win stopper gloves = toasty hands :-)

I have some windstopper North Face gloves that would work well. Not too bulky but can slip undergloves into them for additional warmth.

I used fleece windstopper ones for years, which were good, especially with a thin merino liner glove. Now I have the Prendas Air Tunnel ones, which are also good on very cold days if worn with a merino liner

prendas.co.uk

There are a few sealskinz gloves people recommend, I'm not sure which model, but the options are here: sealskinz.com

They have the benefit of being waterproof.

That link includes the lobster style mitt which people seem to like on very cold days; like a split mitt. There are a few brands of this style if you can cope with them, including gore.

Finally, there are pogies which stay on the bars not your hands. I've only used pogies in a kayak, not a bike, but they work well there, and allow you to wear any gloves under them. I think there are heated versions used by (motor) bikers, farmers on quad bikes, and Arctic fat bikers. hotpog.co.uk

another vote for sealskin gloves, mine are great but are really useful below 5C as above that I find my hands get very clammy.

I like my Sealskinz cycling gloves too. Mine are no longer waterproof, but that's not a problem - they're warm and windproof, and if it's really cold and wet out then I'll wear surgical gloves either under or over my inner gloves.

And arm warmers. Hate the look, but I'm starting to think that everyone else really has known something that I didn't know all along. Not for running, mind, arm warmers and a vest is beyond the pale.

I've been wearing a pair of "woollen" magic gloves (that expand to fit any hand) under a track mitt. Basically what I wear to run, with a track mitt over.

Is that wrong?
