Any good winter gloves for using STI shifters?
Recently moved into the 21st Century and bought a new road bike to supercede my trusty old 531c framed bike. It's also my first experience with STI's on a road bike.
The bike has Dura Ace 7800 shifters, and as my first ride was on a particularly chilly morning, I though winter gloves would be a sensible chioce. I've got a pair of Endura winter gloves with a thermal lining, which havee performed faultlessly on my mountain bike. I did find on the road bike that as the finger tips are not very close fitting, I kept getting them trapped between the levels on the STI's.
Can anyone recommend a good glove which is warm enough for winter but close-fitting enough to shift cleanly? Or do I just need to adapt my shifting technique?
Thanks.

you should have got a bike with Sram double tap
On the serious note i think you may just have to adapt your technique. I have never had a pair of gloves where my fingers reach the end :oops:0 -
I've got a pair of Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gloves. They're a few years old now, but they're very good.
