I need new winter gloves to keep the cold at bay, they dont have to be waterproof.
I have looked at a few but have narrowed it down to two pairs.
1. The DHB windproof glove

2 The Altura kinetic glove

So surely someone here is using these gloves what do you think.

    I you really want warm get a set of mittens. I know it's not manly but you said you wanted warm.

    I use Gore-Tex ski gloves, never had so much as a fingertip tingle even when it's sub-zero. :mrgreen:

    I haven't tried either of the gloves you mention, but I've generally been more impressed with dhb products than with Altura. Sealskinz have a good reputation but I think they're a tadge more pricey.
    Even if the voices aren't real, they have some very good ideas.

    I don't know about Northern Ireland but where I live it rarely gets down to zero let alone below that. Things like mittens are unnecessary for a decent ride on a road bike. By the time you have finished your hands are cooked. The DHB gloves look great - windproof, thin and close fitting.
