Have to say they're pretty good and kept my hands warm enough in sub-zero temperatures last Saturday morning. This is the set I got, also includes a hat - 30% off at the moment mightcontainnuts.com They also have some Craft arm warmers on sale!

Meglet Nov 2013 3:12pm, 29 Nov 2013 13,473 posts	0 Meglet I've just bought some gloves with a Tog rating! (2.5). Thermal gloves, not for running as I'll get too hot, but perhaps for standing around before/after races, as my hands got cold before the XC on Sunday and didn't thaw out until half way round. Tempted by the SealSkinz though...

Not too big and bulky, dense windproof wicking fleece material, easy to make a fist inside if tips of fingers or thumb start to get cold. I have waterproof shell overmitts ( from my hillwalking days ) if it gets really Baltic.
